3 easy in the morning. My ankles and the lower part of my legs were pretty sore, I think it might just be from running on the rocky trail yesterday. It was alright though because in the afternoon during the workout on the track they weren't hurting. Coach had me do the Kosming test today (1:00 all-out, 3:00 recovery, 1:00 all-out, 2:00 recovery, 1:00 all-out, 1:00 recovery, and one more 1:00 all-out. Each time you start a 1:00 hard you start from where you ended the last 1:00 hard). It was a pretty killer workout, the last 100m of the last 1:00 my legs just didn't want to move! It was good though, and I guess there's some formula that calculates your predicted 1500/mile time based on how far you ran. I didn't see what my exact distance was but it should be around 1560-1570m, because I had about 30-40m to the finish. I don't know where that puts my time but maybe I'll update this when I figure it out. I finished the workout off with 4x200m finishes and 1 mile cool down. I found out that the shoes I ordered last week shipped yesterday so hopefully they can get here by the end of the week so I can run in them on Monday. Good day.
UPDATE: My final distance was 1564m which translates to about a 4:07 for 1500m or 4:25 for 1600m. Pretty happy with the result but there is still a lot to be done.
