Purdue Track Workout - 8.1 miles total w/ 5 x 1000 @ goal 5k pace w/ 200 walks
Alden had a crazy mile pace workout on tap: 3 (200-300-400-300-200) w/ 200 recovery (I think) and 400 between sets. Brandon is racing Friday, so he did his simulator workout and figured that would be more sensible given that I drank a fancy 40 last night and at least a half bottle of wine with Megan and struggled on the mill yesterday (I never do workouts back to back).
Warmed up 2.75 with a progression, which ended with about a half mile at 6:00ish. Alden was gone. Sets of drills and strides and Brandon and I did the workout. First 200 in 38-39 I think (we were feeling snappy I guess).
3:25, 3:24, 3:25, 3:23, 3:22.5 (~3:24)
Just under sub-17 goal 5k pace. It's probably time to get that one off my list. I've been in that shape a few times but never raced a 5k when I am.
Cool down on the grass and track barefoot for 2, then a little back to the indoor track. I felt really strong today despite not having slept much for about a week or so now.
Moving fun continues. Just trying to fit in some running when I can this week.
PM: Rest Haven Cemetery - 4 miles, averaged 7:50ish
