I had an early meeting this morning, so I had to skip the Black Sheep workout and do my own thing before heading into work. From home, I warmed up through Federal Heights and over to the University. I ran an interval at 5k pace from the golf course to the Legacy Bridge. Then I dropped down into campus where they had demolished a dormitory and built a parking lot. I'm usually against that kind of thing, but this parking lot is a great place to run at 6am: great surface, traffic-free, and well-lit. I ran 6 x 100m or so strides. The meat of the workout was 10x repeats at about a 2% grade in the parking lot. Each repeat was about 45-50 seconds and left my lungs hurting. The area was just steep enough to provide some resistance, but not steep enough that I couldn't run fast. Cooled down back home, but threw in some surges to make sure I wouldn't be late. |
