Got up this morning and ran outside. Wanted to do something moderate. I have the red rock relay race in moab on Saturday. This is a Ragnar style race (although not nearly as many miles) I have 2 legs I'm running which will be about 11-12 miles total. I wanted to keep it somewhat easy today so I can have fresh legs for Saturday. Today I did 5 minutes hard, with 3 minute jog, then 3 minutes hard, 2 minute jog, then 1 minute hard. Pace for 5 minutes was 5:54, 3 minutes was 6:02, and 1 minute 5:30. Recovery pace 8:00-8:20. Legs were still sore today, but after warming up they loosened up on me. Felt relaxed today. Finished up with a cool down on the treadmill. |
