10 x 2-min repeats at Liberty Park, with goal of holding pace between 5:25-5:30. Splits were:
1. 5:14 (too fast)
2. 5:09 (way too fast)
3. 5:29 (hurting already)
4. 5:26
5. 5:42 (why did I go out so fast?)
6. 5:39 (just holding on)
7. 5:23 (found someone to chase, which seemed to focus me)
8. 5:38 (back to hurting)
9. 5:43 (probably tried to save up a little for the last one)
10. 5:18 (felt pretty blown by the end of this one)
I think I'm clearly lacking endurance from having missed so many key workouts over the past month, especially long runs. Brooke got into SGM, so I'm going to have to be extremely disciplined to avoid missing workouts as we try to juggle our training. Plan is for me to run early enough so Brooke can be out by 6:15. |
