MODERATE WORKOUT
I planned on a progression run this morning of 3 wu, 3 @ 6:00, 3 @ 5:45, 3 @ 5:30, and 3 @ 5:15 with a 3-mile cooldown. But I just didn't have it today. It was really dry, hot, and windy this morning. I warmed up three miles and then did three miles 6:04, 5:56, and 5:55 followed by three more at 5:49, 5:50, 5:45. At this point I thought about just bagging the workout. I was just tired. Instead I decided to change the workout a bit and do 10 one-minute pickups to see if I could get the legs moving. So I did that alternating with one-minute off at a quick pace. I averaged around 4:53/mile on the ons and 5:55/mile on the offs. In the end it was the 3-mile warmup and then 12 miles at 5:48/mile. I called the distance early too as I really needed to find a restroom.
Not the greatest week, but not terrible either. The last four weeks are starting to wear on me, which is fine because it's almost taper time anyway.
