AM: AEROBIC BUILDER
I thought I was going to be flying solo this morning, but then Jace text me last night and said he'd join me if he didn't get called in to work. Lucky, for me he didn't get called in and I had a running partner this morning. We met at 21st Pond and warmed up three miles. Then we started the AB. The goal was to average 5:35 pace, since we both feel our fitness isn't where it was in the spring when these were a weekly staple in our training. It turned out pretty decent, we ran 7 miles at 5:33 avg. We passed Coach Hislop along the way who was out for a walk, but we didn't stop to talk since it was in the middle of our AB.
After we planned to jog 0.5 miles and then do 4x400 meters. We did the first one in 1:12, but then we ran into route difficulties. When I mapped the run online it showed a road going through an area, but it actually didn't go through there, so we had to search for another way and it took up some time. By the time we found a way through (if we didn't find one we would've had to add another 2-3 miles to the run), too much time had passed so we bagged the last three 400s.
I'm happy to get this in and have Jace there to run it with me. I need to get back to doing these weekly. Jace and I discusssed how these are a necessary evil for us, since we aren't as predisposed to distance/endurance as most other distance runners. We can take any amount of pain you want to throw at us for 5 minutes, but we hate the slow, gradual pain for an extended period of time.
