LM warmup, 0.5 mile un-timed, 12.54 miles in 1:32:09, 7:20/mi, HR 164, w/ 2 mile warmup, 2 x 4 miles @ MP w/ 5 min rest, 2 mile cooldown & stretching. Ugh. A gorgeous day with sun and decent temps. Too bad my legs felt so dead and this workout was such a butt kicker. First 4 mile @ MP section was in 7:24 (up), 7:38 (up), 6:47 (rolling), 6:13 (down). I was ready to quit right there. My legs were tired and I was working way harder than I should've been for the last couple of miles. After regrouping during the 5 min rest period, I went into the second 4 mile @ MP section and ran those in 6:29 (down), 6:29 (down), 6:31 (down), and 6:41 (rolling). The last 2 cooldown miles were a real slog. Compared to the last time I ran this workout in a marathon taper (3.18.2010), this plain sucked. Time to wad this memory up and throw it away. |
