LM warmup, 12.06 miles in 1:35:38, 7:56/mi HR 155, w/ 3 mile warmup, 2 x Drills, 6 x Strides, 18 x 1 min repeats every 1/2 mile over 9 miles & stretching. 65F. A real butt kicker today. Tackling my perceived neuromuscular deficiency and hip tightness with some additional stretching throughout the day and the reintroduction of drills, more strides, and shorter, faster speedwork that focuses on full strides instead of turnover (which I seem to have plenty of). Legs were already tired after the warmup, the drills/strides helped loosen them up some, then the 1 min repeats really worked them hard. Its been quite a while since I worked my legs this hard on a workout. The 1 min repeats didn't really tax me cardiovascularly.....I was breathing hard but in control.....but my legs got tired and I didn't let them slack off any. I'm sure I'll feel this one in the morning. |
