AM - 11 miles. Met the team at the JRP. Rob asked me to pace Kramer through a progression run today. I agreed (last week), figuring it would be a good "lead in" to my other workouts for the week. After the fall on Saturday, I was unsure of how my knee would hold up to this, and that made me a little nervous but I decided to give it a go anyways and help Kramer out. The idea was to do a warmup mile, then drop to 6:50 pace and take it down ~15 seconds per mile, finishing around 5:00 pace or faster. It didn't quite go as planned... the first half was fine and then we turned around into a 15 mph headwind, just enough to make it brutal when its hot out. Once we got under 5:45 pace Kramer was having a harder time so we ended up bagging it early. I ended up with 4 miles in the AT spectrum - 5:45, 5:31, 5:21, 5:25. Knee wasn't great but it wasn't worse. Lots of ice today. Sweat was a little salty so gotta clean up the diet! PM - 11 miles. Horsepark loops. Rob's planned morning workout...
And our failed attempt to do it...
