I felt good after 2 days off, and decided to try to increase my CV reps. Last few weeks I've been doing 4x1000m with 1' jog rest, and today I thought I would try 5x800m with 0:45 jog rest, and maybe fool my body into doing the 6th repeat. I was hoping it would be easier, but it wasn't. It could have been even harder, especially since I ran repeats a bit too fast. First I did 4x200m strides (49, 51, 47, 48) and started on 800s. I was aiming for 3:40, but I went: 3:35, 3:38, 3:35, 3:37, 3:38. I was struggling on the last one, and that means I was running too fast for this kind of workout. I wasn't able to do the 6th, I barely finished the 5th at that pace. Maybe 45 sec. recovery is too short, but more likely I could've done the 6th, if I wasn't so stubborn and slowed down a little.
Then I did 4x100m strides and jogged home. By that point, I was so tired I was going 11min/mi up the hill (I thought I might as well walk it, but I didn't).
Total time: 1:04 (not counting 4x100m strides). |
