Dragging this morning. I met Becca at Taylorsville High. We ran a 3.5 mile warm up. I'm glad I had someone to meet. Even if it was just for a couple miles. 4 x 200 and then workout. I planned on a 2000,1600,1200,800,400. I started in on the 2000, and after 800 meters decided to switch to an 800 meter workout. 8 x 800 with 400 recovery. So,.the first was 2:55 because I was planning on 2000 meters. I decided to aim for sub 2:50 on the rest, since my goal for TOU is sub 2:50. (Yasso 8's) I ran 2:48, 2:48, 2:48, 2:45,2:47, 2:46, 2:43. I felt really strong,especially considering how I dragged through the warm up. It's the first indication that the marathon training is starting to kick in. I would have been fine for a couple more, but decided to save that for another day. I have my first 20 tomorrow, and I will easily be over 70 miles this week. Cooldown home. |
