Not the world's best workout today. I forget how sluggish you can feel during a taper. I mostly blame it on not being mentally engaged in the workout. I warmed up two miles and then ran 4 x 200. I decided on 1000 meter repeats between 3:30 and 3:35. I wasn't sure how many I would do, but thought 8 was a good number. See? Wishy washy today. I ran four in 3:32, 3:31, 3:31, 3:32. My hipatarted to tighten, so I switched to miles, thinking a little slower pace would help. I ran 1 mile in 5:52. I kind of felt shot, so I packed it in. I need to remember to stay focused during the taper. I really want the marathon to get here. I'm kind of tired of training for it. I expected my times to come out faster, but I think my body is really dialed in to marathon effort. This wasn't a terrible workout. I needed to keep my hrad in it better. Tuesday's 3 x3 mile was a much better workout than today. I kind of just struggled overall today. 2 mile cooldown. |
