AM: slept in, drove to track. Met Mack for warm up. did 4.32 in 34:53. Switched shoes, stretched then did this workout: 5x2000m @ 6:00-6:12 pace (7:30-7:45), then 3x200m, 35-37 sec. Nervous about this workout because it is so big, and my lower left foot was hurting yesterday, but it felt fine today. Wanted to start the 2000m tempo intervals at 6:12 and drop each one. Times were 7:42 (2:31 rest), 7:38 (2:31 rest), 7:36 (2:30 rest), 7:33 (2:47 rest - mandatory pit stop), 7:27 (have to admit on this one I crossed one mile at 6:02, so last lap split was 85, so that is good and bad, good in that I could pull out an 85 even when tired, bad that I wasn't cranking 6:00 the whole time). Then jogged a lap slow, then did the 200s. Wanted to not hold back. 34, 34, 32. Practiced on last one trying to accelerate through the straightaway. These are my fastest 200s since college, don't really do much shorter stuff nowadays except tagged at the end of workouts like this. Very successful workout, so happy. 2.94 mile cool down. Ice bath at home. PM: 4.95 on the TM in 40min, core workout |
