LM warmup (10 reps), 12.01 miles in 1:29:54, 7:29/mi, HR 157, w/ 3 mile warmup, 2 x Strides/Drills, 3 x 10 min Tempo Intervals w/ 3 min rest (6:14/mi, 6:15/mi, & 5:59/mi), 3 mile cooldown. Nice weather today. Decent warmup, drills were fine (done on the grass today, which was dry enough). Back on the normal rolling course for the tempo intervals. First two intervals goal was 6:19/mi at half-marathon pace, so both those turned out a bit fast. Last interval goal was 5:57/mi at 10K pace, so a bit slow but I was maxed out on that one....legs tying up and breathing redlined the last couple of minutes. My mind really didn't want to do this workout today and kept trying to talk me into skipping it or eliminating the last repeat, so I had my hands full ignoring myself. Probably won't be running much the next few days...headed out to Eastern WA for daughter's college graduation. The last four years just flew by. |
