Signed up for another 5k this Sat, planning on b2b weekend PR's ... since I did not achieve the time I hoped for last weekend! Anyway, I figured a little more speed work was in order, so headed to the track. Mile w/u, 3 x 1 mile w/ 600m recovery, Mile c/d M1 - 5:44, M2 - 5:53, M3 - 5:39 I figured the third mile was going to be tough, since I have not done too many track workouts & never really done timed miles ... so I made a deal with myself that I would not look at my watch the last mile & just try to run a pr for the mile (since the first one I ran was faster than I have ever timed myself for) ... I was hoping that would at least keep it under 6:00 ... but lo & behold, I turned it up a notch! Makes me want to go back to the track & just do some warm-ups & see how fast I can run a mile ... probably will do this in a couple weeks. For now, I am confident I will get my sub 20 5k & plan on targeting 19:30 if I feel good race morning.
