AM: Threshold run with a new friend in Cambridge. Ahhh, these scare me so much because I haven't done very many of them yet. We were on a high traffic route, boo, and I wasn't sure where we were going - not ideal for tempo. The first couple miles were slower than I'd like but ended up kinda like a tempo progressive run: 7:22, 7:21, 7:15, 7:17, 7:07 for an AP of 7:16 min/mi. My last tempo was 4 miles at 7:15 min/mi. I would have liked to beat that, but I could not have run another step for that tempo and this tempo I felt like I had another mile in me if I needed to push it. 7:07 is now my fastest mile post injury. These Cambridge girls are really getting me amped up to crush my training! Got back and did a mini Crossfit WOD I made up: 10 mins as many rounds as possible: 2, 4, 6, 8, ... reps of box jumps, burpees, kettle bell swings. I got so winded in this!!! Made it to 14 reps box jumps, 8 reps burpees. No me gusta burpees. :) Did some PT, strength and core. PM: Flywheel in Chicago!! I kept the effort a little lower for this class, and stuck to the lower end of torque and higher end of RPM. I am a Flywheel addict. Once the fast music hits and the instructor yells to hit 100 RPM, I drop my head, pump my legs, close my eyes and feel the endorphins wash over me. So amazing.
