AEROBIC BUILDER: 4-3-2-1

I met Jon and Ben at Smiths at 5:15. They warmed up a mile with me and then went a different way to do a down tempo, while I continued on to the tempo loop for a 4-3-2-1 cut down builder. The plan was 5:20s for the 4, 5:10s for the 3, 5:00s for the 2, and 4:50 for the mile. I took 3:30 jogging rest.

Splits: 4 miles 5:16, 5:20, 5:16, 5:18 3 miles 5:08 5:13 5:05 2 miles 5:01 5:08 1 mile 4:47

This ended up being a lot harder than I anticipated, mostly the 2-mile rep. I've worked so much on marathon pace that the LT pace hurt a lot. But the marathon-paced stuff was relatively easy, so at least that part bodes well.

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.
