morning - 4x1600's on the track. A pretty disappointing workout. I ran out to the school - 3 miles - to warmup. And thought that I could probably get about 5:10, since I was getting 5:00's on the treadmill. Boy was I wrong. 1st - 5:20. Wasn't thinking right when I was calculating my needed splits and ran too slow on the first lap by 5 seconds. So I thought I wasn't too far off, considering 1st is usually a little harder to get into. 2nd - 5:24. Now I am bugged because I am working much harder and went slower. 3rd - usually the hardest, and it was. 5:30. I was really bothered by how I couldn't hit the times I wanted. 4th - 5:30 again. At least I hit 4, but I was tired and a bit angry with myself. Recovered 1/2 mile (5:00) between and jogged 3 home for total of 12.5 for workout. Overall I was upset about my lack of speed. I really thought I would be stronger. That is one thing about the treadmill - even though I know it is not MY true speed, at least I can't give up; I've got to keep pushing even when I am tired. On the track, when I feel tired I naturally slow up; even just 1 sec. per 200 adds up quick on a 1600. (Cumulus)
PM - 4 on treadmill at 7:30 and 1% for recovery. (Cumulus) RHR-47 |
