At 5:51pm I ran 7.01 miles with 3 miles being VO2max while 4.01 Easy pace.  7.01 miles in 1:05:07 @ 9:17/mile.

A mile warm-up and then six half mile repeats with equal rest.  Needed to put them together in 3:48 but it was not happening tonight.  Off by 27, 23, 26, 18, 22, and 10 seconds respectively.  Strong headwinds one side of the track - so must mean strong tail winds on the other side of the track - somehow, I did not feel those tailwinds.  On a positive note, I ran the quality workout, did the six repeats, and did better on the last three when compared to the first three. 

Grade for workout…well I don’t think I will ever give myself a D…would have to be really poor workout for that kind of a grade. 

Probably “C” grade.  Yeah…I’ll go with “C.”  So hoping to do bit better Thursday for the Tempo run.

PRE,

Good workout. You fought the good fight and finished even though the reps were tough. That's excellent. I think we all have days that our bodies aren't up for what we have planned, part of being a runner/human. You've had some top notch efforts lately so you know what you're capable of.

Also, thanks for welcoming my mom to the blog, I hope it helps her as much as it has helped me.

Hi PRE,

Keep in mind that you ran a hard race on Saturday, so you are just about recovering from a PR effort. Trying to do a hard interval workout so soon after may have been a bit optimistic.

The fact that your splits improved progressively seems to indicate that initially, your legs were a bit stiff from Saturday, and as you warmed up and stretched, you were able to find some speed.

Overall, a decent workout, nothing to worry about. Keep up the good work!

hi PRE. nice job with the workout. some days are better than others, but you still did great and pushed through to the end (even with the wind -- that's tough). you are continually getting stronger and faster. keep it up.
