AM- Today, we did 8x1,000m on the grass/dirt at the school. I felt really ready for this workout, although I was a little fatigued, but nothing a little stretching, icing, and rest won't fix! The first 4 times were 3:06, 3:05, 3:04, 3:06. I felt really relaxed on these and the finish was strong for me, so it's the middle I really need to work on, because that's where Mike got ahead of me more! Anyways, I was wearing compression socks on this workout and by the 5th/6th it was tightening my calfs and my thighs were really tired. So, I decided I really needed to push on these, because it would make a difference in my races! The next times (5-8) were 3:05, 3:05, 3:07, 3:08. So, I was pretty consistent this workout...I only had a spread of 4 seconds and really only varied by like 2 seconds the majority of it. The last one I kinda sat back for some reason, it must have been, because I was tired. That's is something I have to watch out for in workouts and races....sitting back. Sometimes I think I settle in to a comfortable, fast pace, but not my fastest pace. Really a good workout and lesson. Also, I think I was hitting these times at the end of last year!
PM-3 easy. I went around 4 in the afternoon. It was a little hot, but, for st. george, it wasn't too bad. That also could be just me finally tolerating the heat while running! I wasn't feeling zesty today, so I just took it at an easy pace that was comfortable. I just began recaping my running as if it were a documentary on BBC or something haha then I went into the future and basically had happen what I would like in my running career. Around a mile I saw hunter and we ran together. It was kinda mad he interupted such a good broadcast...in my head haha. But it was fun talking to him! |
