Good Workout tonight with Steve. I decided to stay over in St. George after work and run mile repeats with Steve at the park. I did a 2.5 mile warm-up before he got there, then we got into the workout. Our goal was to run around 5:40 and be able to run at least 3 repeats. 1- 5:35 This first one felt real comfortable and I even found myself holding back just a bit. 2- 5:30 Once again another good repeat, didn't feel like we had picked it up that much, but 5 seconds faster. 3-5:25 Started feeling some discomfort on this one, mainly my stomach cramping up a little. Decided we could handle one more and probably not kill ourselves. 4- 5:19 We started this one at quite a bit faster pace than the previous repeats so I knew we would either finish with a fast time, or make it around one time and be dead. Anyway we made the first 800 in no problem, then Steve picked it up. He really ran the last 800 strong, I struggled to keep up and finished in 5:19 about 2 seconds behind him. After the repeats jogged another mile easy. Overall, good workout and felt pretty good, especially considering I still am recovering from being sick last week. Plan on doing some more workouts like this over the next few weeks. |
