Tonight, I went over to sugarhouse park and did some speed and hills. I met with Larry their and he sent me on a warm up. I went out 5 minutes and back, I got about a mile and a half in. Then he said, since my hips are really sore from yesterdays workout, I only had to do 4 500s but if they are all under 2 minutes I only had to do 3 (The reason for 2 minutes is 300 meters of it is all uphill). So for the first one I go and I get a 1:50. That did not seem that hard. It honostly felt like I was just jogging up the hill but that is a 5:47 mile. Then for the next one I did 1:49 so that one was faster. At this point I was really questioning my race on saturday because with these times and for most of it being uphill, I should have run faster of Saturday, and since I knew I could do the last one under 2 minutes I only had to do one more:) Then for the third one I started out at a pretty good pace, then going up the hill I slowed down so about half way up the hill I really pushed it and pumped the arms hard and I got a 1:49 so I was really consistent and got faster at all a sub 5:47 pace. Bummer about my race knowing I should have run faster, but rather this race than any race later in the season. Then for recovery for each I just did the 500 backwards. Then for a cooldown, since I needed about 2 miles, I did a little over a lap on the road and went home and watched American Idol. |
