Met my team at Tom Watson Park Warmed up 20 minutes, stretching, strides My right shin seemed to have some sort of muscle spasm about 15 minutes into my warm up. I stretched it really well and pushed on it with my thumbs during stretching and it finally relaxed after the strides. Workout was 15 minutes at marathon effort (I did 5:59 pace). Pretty flat, but had some loose gravel and spectator dodging in the last mile. We ran off the road through some gravel and uneven terrain to avoid a women's triathlon race that was just finishing near the boat ramp for Boulder Res. The winner finished just as we ran past. Looked fun. 4 minute jog 12 minutes a half marathon effort (5:55 pace) with some good rolling hills. 3 minute jog 8 minutes at 10k effort (5:50 pace) up a good long hill and then flat. 2 minute jog 5 minutes hard (5:35 pace) back down the hill and then up another hill. 10 minute cool down The workout actually didn't feel as hard as I expected it to. I was super tired yesterday and took it really easy, so I guess that helped to rest my body and get me ready for today. I ran with Coach on our cool down and discussed my strategy for the New Haven 20K. I'm getting excited and a little nervous to race the elites in 9 days! |
