7.5 mile morning run 6.5 miles this evening at the track The morning run was great. I love this time of year. Brisk in the morning but warm enough to go with shorts and a Tee shirt. This evening I wanted to get a light track workout in to work on leg turnover. I went to the track with Steve and Paul and we each did our own workouts. I went with a three mile warm-up and then 4x800 with 200 recovery @ 2:40 or less- This was the goal going into the workout. 1. 2:33 felt really good and didn't feel like I was pushing it that hard. 2. 2:35 For the most part the same effort just had a stronger head wind. 3. 2:33 Head wind getting stronger and I pushed the last 200, but still feeling pretty frisky. 4. 2:37 Wind on the last back leg was killer- plus I was really just trying to keep them under 2:40. Mile cool down A perfect workout to help me feel my stride a little better. The last week or so I've been in this 7:30 min/mile pace type of rutt. Got the legs going tonight but not enough to be sore. Now I'll start a taper into Boston. Feeling really good and different from any other race I've ever ran- This time I'm really not nervous at all, so I guess that could be good or bad. |
