Much cooler this morning (65) but windy. The recovery run yesterday seemed to help restore some energy to the legs plus the better weather helped. I felt pretty good. Went to the track today and ran 6 x 1k with 400 recovery then did 4 x 200 with 200 recovery. Goal for the 1k was 3:50, goal for 200s was to run hard but under control. After a warmup I started the first 1k. Felt good but had a hard time getting the legs moving. The next few repeats felt good and pace was good. Started to feel some heaviness in my legs on the 4th one and the 5th was really feeling it. The last one I couldn't hold the pace that I had on the other ones. I probably ran the middle repeats a little fast. All of these were about 6:00 pace which I was really please with. I would like to be able to keep these consistent and not lose the pace at the end. I would really like to be able to finish faster than I started. The 200s were good but really had heavy legs toward the end of each one. Overall I was really happy with this workout especially after the week that I have had so far. Here are the splits: 1k: 3:47, 3:44, 3:45, 3:46, 3:47, 3:53 200s: 37.4, 37.8, 37.4, 37.1 |
