AM: 6 miles
PM: 10.3 miles, 7.5 of them fast with Darek and John doing a modified (harder) version of "The Michigan." We chose to do it on the trails because of the random inclines and declines would add some spice. Workout was- 1 mile tempo (MT), 1 mile hard/fast interval, 1 mile tempo, 0.75 mile faster interval, 1 mile tempo, 0.5 even faster interval, 1 mile tempo, 0.25 full effort, and finish with a ... you guessed it- 1 mile tempo. sixty-seconds of recovery between each effort for the duration of the workout.
Splits- MT (5:49), mile fast (5:25), MT(5:45), 3/4 mile (3:58, 5:18/mi pace), MT (5:40), 1/2 mile (2:37, 5:14/mi pace), MT (5:42), 1/4 mile (1:10, 4:40/mi pace), MT (5:32).
Overall, super pumped about this workout. What a roller coaster compared to how I felt Tuesday. I'm proud of myself for running this well in this weather. It was only around 87-88 degrees along with the normal humidity, so we got a slight reprieve thankfully. Now I just need to think up a marathon predictor workout. I wouldn't consider myself adept at marathon running, so it'll unfortunately be a research nightmare, unless anyone from the blog is willing to let me know of a good predictor workout (if it exists)?
