I just realized I've been putting my runs this week a day early. It took me four days to figure it out.
2x5k@ MP, 2k up, 2k down, 1k recovery between.
Last workout before the marathon. I wasn't sure if I should do MP only or add some HMP in there. I decided to do 2x5k and keep the 5ks under 20 minutes. This was my wasatch run, so the first 5k included 190 up and 170 down and 170 down,/190 up for the second 5k. So a bit harder than an aided MP effort.
I did the first 5k in 19:45 and the second in 19:47, so a bit fast at 6:21.7 avg. Felt good overall. Mid 60s and windy so this should be worst case for marathon day conditions toward the end of the race.
64:00 total with 700+ ft of climb. 150 HR |
