afternoon - 13.65 4x2000's 90sec recovery. Warmed up with Ruth and the boys on the Trail to Nowhere 5.3. Then instead of attempting this brutal thing on the track, I had to get home to watch Laney. So I got home and jumped on the treadmill. Did another .75 to get the legs going again. Then I started up the 2000's. I hoped that since I was doing them on the treadmill and receiving that benefit I could do alright. Set the pace out at 5:21 mile (essentially 6:40 - 2000). It was hard from the start and only got harder. By the fourth I was screaming out in pain and my daughter didn't know what to think about it all. My legs were giving out and my glutes were on fire. I wouldn't have been able to maintain anything close to the pace without the treadmill and I had to grab the bars on more than a few occasions not to go flying off. So although it wasn't a true pace (using the treadmill and moving me along), it was a killer. Then loaded up the jogger and went for a 2 mile cooldown. (Stratus gold 105.2) |
