afternoon - 5.3 miles. 3.3 warm up on 2450 run. Took it pretty easy as it was HOT today. No sliding into summer. Just 95+ already. Then onto the track. 5x400 at 1:12, 1:14, 1:14, 1:15, 1:18 with 1 min recovery. Didn't really have a set idea of what I was going for here (That is always a problem), but I was thinking 70-72 would be good. The heat took it out of me quite a bit and being on the track was pretty vicious. Although the pace wasn't flying, especially by the end, I was really feeling it in my lungs and kept feeling sicker after each one. It was the first workout where I thought I was going to lose it in a long time. Needless to say I didn't feel great. Then cooled down for .75 mile big loop. (Cumulus 256.6) PM - 5 mile recovery run on Washington Parkway. Ran it backward as to get the dirt section of the run before dark if possible. At the first I could still feel the affects of the track workout for a couple miles (Felt a little woozy and wiped out), but just kept it relaxed and was running pretty well by the end. I enjoy evening runs like this. Dusk out, not as many cars, no one watching, temps more comfortable. Good recovery run, glad I did it. (Glycerin 279.75) |
