Week 7 - Wednesday: 6x800 1000 m w/400 recovery OR 4 min on/90 seconds off + 100 m strides with 100 m recovery
Today was hard to get going, I was struggling getting out of bed and going. I met my friend who warms up with me and makes sure that I have a nice slow warm up on hard days. At about 3/4 mil in I fell...not bad, but tore up my knee pretty good. I hadn't fallen for over 6 years and fell terribly in July and ended up with road rash on the right side of my body and then again this morning - what is up!
Finished the warm up and then started the workout in the same area as last weeks. I opted for the 4 min on and 90 seconds off and I struggled with correct pacing in the instructions - should have been a progression, not hanging on for dear life. I tried to reign it in, but haven't had a chance to sync my garmin and see how I did.
Major pause button.....started this yesterday and finally finishing tonight.
After finally reviewing the splits on the 4 min segments, the distances were pretty consistent
.52, .55, .55, .55, .55, .54
Not sure if this approach is better vs. the distance and comparing times, but I do believe the effort was there.
1:16:01 / 9.02 miles / avg pace 8:25
