Wasn't feeling like a workout today, but I slept in and still headed over to the track. 2.4 mile warm up, including strides and stretches. 6 x 800 meters at 10k to just below (3:15.3, 3:16.9, 3:17.7, 3:19.3, 3:17.1, 3:15.1 for a average of 3:16.9). I used McMillan, so the times were based on my last race. The times they suggest for 800s are too fast (2:50-3:07). I think I ran about what I did for the last 800M workout some time ago, but the temp and humidity were MUCH higher today, so I guess my fitness has still improved. Ran the first recovery too hard and had to walk a little during other recoveries, but I'm glad I got out the door and got the legs moving. 2.25 mile cool down home. This marks the beginning of the marathon buildup. I'm following a modified Hanson Brother's training plan, so I'm going to be doing a ton of goal pace work, which I didn't do hardly any of for last fall's race.
