Hubby had today off so I slept in a little and it was already a little hot-63 and breezy) Anyway I hate to admit it- but today I felt terrible starting with the warm up..Not sure what is going on?!-I had a great positive week last week and two days of rest-so I should have felt good today...Anyway-plan was to do 2 miles (downhill) at marathon pace..Splits were 6:11,6:17-(definitely faster than marathon pace-but it was downhill too) Ran my two miles downhill to the track-then did 1x1600..Split was 5:47..Felt
Really hard...Then I did 10x200s with a float 200 in between. Goal was to keep the fast ones at 40 (5:20 pace) and the slow ones at 55 (7:20 pace). Ran 5 and kept the fast ones at 40-41, and the float at 54-56. Felt absolutely pooped after 5-so I took a little break to mentally and physically regroup. Then I did 5 more at the same paces. Ran/walked home-I felt so physically/mentally drained for some reason today..Frustrating..I think I need to focus on getting more sleep-since that has been lacking lately...(**I did like the 200s for something different-hopefully next time I do them I will feel better:) Oh well-looks like it will be a beautiful hot day so now I am going to put this one out of my mind and go have some fun with the fam... |
