AM: 30 min elliptical then stretching PM: Arrived at the track with just enough time to jog a single k, then 4 x 1600 (5:40-5:45) at 5k pace. I thought I might go more like 10k pace (5:50ish), but I am in somewhat of a no-mans land. I had the choice of going with two guys, one of which would be ahead 10-15 seconds, or with the second group, then I would be ahead 10-15 seconds. So I started with the faster guys, and just stuck with them. Only 90 seconds rest, which meant less rest for me. 1 - 5:39, fast guy took off, second guy close, 1:21 rest 2 - 5:42, 1:15 rest 3 - abt 5:38 (was 4:13 at three laps, but didn't lap watch in error), longer rest 2:24 - needed bathroom so jumped in with the second guy at the 300m mark of the last rep, so had to keep going when he finished 4 - 5:39 So happy to be able to go so fast, even though I haven't done fast work in a long time. It was a short workout, and we were blessed with good weather (it was 28C before a storm that rolled in at 3pm, then dropped to a merciful 22C), so I can tell I am not 100%, but I may not be again, and that has got to be ok. |
