I was able to pull my butt out of bed this morning and the temp was pretty nice at 18 degrees so pretty good. I ran out to mini GU corner and back to the house and I ran 4x800 meter repeats with a 800 recovery in between each repeat. I warmed up for about a mile or so and then started the intervals first was 6:57, 6:51, 6:59, 6:52 those were average pace, I'm not sure of the actual time for each one. The first one I had a side ache and at the beginning of the second one as well but then it went away after that and wasn't a factor, after the last interval I cooled down for 1.50 miles. I felt pretty good but I was tired toward the end of the last one, I was pushing it pretty good through each one so that was good. My average pace was 8:22 with My HR average at 148, total time was 54:23, after the run I jumped on the elliptical and ran 10 minutes hard and then 5 minutes easy for a total of 15 minutes. I finished up with my lower body weight training and then some push-ups. I need to next time program my watch for the half mile repeats just to see how fast I am with them, I just went by my best pace during the interval so It could be off a bit, my pace was pretty steady for each one though. |
