Easy recovery run with 4x100m strides in the middle. I wore my HRM today, and average HR was 141. Total time was 28:57 (not counting strides), 9:39 pace. Slow, but this was a recovery run, so I didn't push the pace at all.
Tomorrow is Southern Veteran AC track meet. I may have to do javelin as a scoring event for the club (Gog help me!), but afterwards I will try to jump into 3000m (unscored). The goal is to break 13:00. I've never ran anything longer than 400m on the outdoor track, so I have no clue what to expect. I'll try to keep all laps at 1:44 and see what I have left in the end.
My biggest worry for now is getting to the track on time. I'll have to leave work no later than 5PM and then rely on a tube line that breaks often, and a bus (in a rush hour!). This track is not in the most convenient location. |
