mid-morning - 15 5xMile. Warmed up for 5 down to the trail by the Tracks tracks which I figured might be the clearest and safest place do to repeats, with 1.5 at Tinman. Most of the Tinman was on the mile route which was just over a half on the trail, but then it crossed the road, so I turned up a block and into a good neighborhood which looped back toward the trail to finish. Actually is a pretty good place for repeats and I'll use it again if I ever have a workout like this again while I'm up here. Goal was to keep the first few more relaxed and the try and push the last bit more. 1-5:20, felt very good and relaxed, actually kind of chilled into it. 2-:17, relaxed more at the start and made it a bit more consistent throughout. 3-:14, felt really goo here too. 4-:08, decided to switch directions as I thought it would be faster starting inthe neighborhood and finishing on the trail, but I decided I actually didn't like the flow of it that much and if I do them again I'll just go the other direction the whole time. Felt great for the first half, but tightened up at the end. I may have kind of freaked myself out because I was sub 5:00 pace for over 2/3 and I thought that I was going to pay for it on the last one, which is maybe true, but I should have just kept it flowing. 5-:06, started off slower than the last one, but really pushed hard the last section and ended it solid. Pretty solid workout and I was pleased with it. I had started to think that the solid sets of miles I had last month were just a fluke, but this brings back my confidence in them. Cool was a bit of a bummer climbing back up the benches. Finished up with some yoga again. (Mana 569) |
