As Paul predicted, tonight was take the kids to the gym with me and run on the TM night. My legs were still feeling a bit sore and tired from Monday nights hard 15 mile effort, but I got started anyway. I did one warm up mile at 8:00 then set the TM for a run speed of 10.0 (6:00) and a jog speed of 4.3 and got started. The first mile felt fast and tough, but then I got into my rythm and never felt cardiovascularly pushed the rest of the way. My tired legs did make me wonder a few times if they would hold up though. I did up my rest time to 4 minutes between repeats since the legs were tired. I was feeling good on mile 6 so I upped the pace to 10.3 for the last 2 minutes of that mile and did it in 5:55. All running was done on 1% incline. At the beginning of tonights run I was wondering if I would get it all done, but I did it!!!! |
