Enjoyed my 4 (formerly 25) minute commute to workout at East Boulder Rec. The group was relatively small and fast this morning. Simon, Colleen, Steve, Katie, Pete, and Me. 20 minute warm up, stretching, strides 5 minutes steady at 5:58 pace 2 min. jog 5X3 minutes at 5:55, 5:34, 5:32, 5:34, 5:40 pace (some gradual incline/decline in there) with 90 seconds of jogging between each 5 minutes at 5:45 pace 10 minute cool down I felt pretty good this morning. The pace is not as fast as it was two months ago, but my lungs are gradually building back. Funny coincidence....right after I got in my car after the workout I received a text from Renee inviting me to join her and Fiona (another pro runner) for 5 minute intervals on the exact same trail I had just finished my intervals on. I replied to tell her that Colleen and I had just warmed up the trail for her and were now headed home. She invited me to run with her on Thursday instead. |
