Today I did my last workout before the marathon. Nice morning (53) with some light wind. Today the plan was for 6 x 800 around 3:05 with 2:00 recovery. I wanted to shake the legs out one more time and have 12 days to the marathon. From here on the fastest running I will do is MP. I did a 2 mile warm up and then jumped into the 800's. Here are the splits: 1st - 3:08 (a little slow but getting the legs awake) 2nd - 3:05 3rd - 3:02 4th - 3:04 5th - 3:02 6th - 2:59 (just couldn't resist going under 3:00) I felt pretty good during these. My legs still didn't feel great but breathing was very controlled and didn't feel like I had to push. The first 3 were probably harder than the last three actually. Once I got the legs moving everything seemed to be easier. Overall happy with the workout and everything seems to be going ok with the taper. 1:02:28 |
