Lunch: 10 miles, averaged 7:44. HR 148.
5k Tempo Steady State to Threshold
Pretty tired, but I wanted to get a workout in, but I couldn't devote too much time to it. I had planned on a 10k wave tempo, but that was a bit overly ambitious. The first k I couldn't get the pace down, so I just rolled with the effort thinking I would do 10k steady state, but I quickly realized my legs just weren't working very well and my quad was a bit achy. I decided to just press as far as I felt was in line with a solid tempo effort.
I managed a solid progression through 5k and decided my legs were just going to go further in a whole if I tried to push 2-3k more. 4:03, 3:59, 3:55, 3:55, 3:50. 6:21 pace average @ 167 BPM.
I think most of my bike workouts will be zone 2 for the middle part of the week. Body is definitely feeling the volume and end of semester. It took a while.
