AM: Slept in. Started this workout at around 9am, 46F, sunshine, perfect. 3.28 warm up (8:15 ave pace). Stretched hams and calves, two strides, then Yasso workout. I was originally thinking 2:46-2:50 pace, my coach said to do 8-10, but Bonnie convinced me to shoot for 10, so I was hoping for 2:50 x 10. What is strange about this workout is it is a much faster pace than I run in ANY workout, even my 1 min on/off, which is 10k pace. 1- 2:49 (2:50 rest), 2-2:51 (2:50 rest), 3-2:50 (2:51 rest), 4-2:52 - already getting hard (2:52 rest), 5- 2:50 (approx 3:15 rest including potty break), 6 - 2:55 ok, need to regroup, decide to try to hit 2:52 from here on out (2:57 rest), 7- 2:51 (3:03 rest), 8 - 2:55, cmon! regroup again (2:55 rest), 2:52 (2:53 rest), 2:51 and done! 2:51.6 ave pace, not what I wanted, but it was what I could do, so I am proud of myself for pushing through. Finished run with When the Mountains Fall by Michael W Smith, a great song. 2.4 miles cool down PM: 4.86 in 40 min (8:15 pace) including a mile with my husband, who I happened upon on my jog, core workout
