AM: 11.6 miles in safety harbor and a workout.  Workout was mile, 2:00, mile, 2:00, mile, 2:00 intervals followed by some sprints at the end with full recoveries.  Half time recoveries for the 5:00 intervals, and full time recoveries for the 2:00 intervals.

Splits- mile- 4:55, 2:00 (4:55/mile pace), mile- 5:02, 2:00 (4:57/mile pace), mile- 5:03, 2:00 (4:54/mile pace)

I'm not sure about this one.  I worked pretty hard, but aerobically there was more there.  I think I either chose to go a bit easier than I should have effort-wise, but I felt a lot of soreness and my form wasn't messy, but I definitely didn't feel the strength I normally do.  I think the poor nutrition from this past week really negatively affected me these last couple of days.  I did not improve, but I don't think I took a step backwards- which I initially felt the moment I finished the workout.  As Drew would say, I'm going to throw this one in the woodchipper.  Thursday's workout may be a bit easier/shorter, and then Saturday I'll run a good pair of 5k intervals, or a descending set 5k/3k/1k.  

 

PM: 5 miles, 8:30/mile pace with Darek, Jeff

treadmill workout or out in the open? either deserves respect but running sub 5 outside the conveyor belt is always a little more exciting :)
