I headed out towards Mini GU corner and the plan this morning was to do 3@400 meter repeats with a 400 cool down between each repeat. My legs were not feeling real good from the start but I got through it, I warmed up with 1.5 miles and then started my first repeat and they went like this; 1-1:39(6:38) way to fast, 2-1:43(6:54) a little better, 3-1:46(7:04) more like it, my HR was like this 154, 149, 154, I felt like I was breathing way harder than that but who knows. I didn't feel real good on the way back my legs were totally dead, but they were dead from the start of the run so I don't know whats up with that. Average pace for the run was 9:08 average HR was 141, I ran really slow on the way back it felt like my legs were hitting the wall!!! I finished up on the elliptical for 20 minutes at a moderate pace, rpm was between 90 and 95. I hope my legs feel better tomorrow, because they sucked today!

 

See ya tomorrow.

Nice job, maybe wait on the repeats until you build your base back. Would hate to see injuries return. Keep happy.
