AM/Lunch: 7 miles total. Springside Track - 3 x 1600m ~5k-10k pace w/ 2 minutes walking rest
Warmed up 2.75 because it was quite humid. Did some strides and stretches because my legs have been tight (bad Jason hasn't been stretching and rolling).
5:33.6, 5:42.1, 5:45.6 (5:42 mile pace)
Short cool down of 1.25 miles
Not bad, but not great. Splits are way off consistent, but the effort was honest I think. I'll mark this as a success because it was supposed to be tomorrow, but I wouldn't have time for a shakeout run. I think these are my fastest miles in trainers (I didn't plan to do the workout until I passed the track). The first two are my fastest post-Boston miles. I need to run more mile repeats under 5:50 pace if I am to get faster. I need to run faster than I ever have even a few miles a a time (That's to my future self to read).
PM: Another short workout. Treadmill - 6.5 miles in 46:45 w/ 3-mile tempo @ ~6:10 |
