This Saturday morning, I went out for a 5.3-mile uphill run to Skyline High School where I got in some speed play on the track. Completing my final interval workout before the Wasatch Back (less than a week away), I knocked out a Yasso 400s session that consisted of 10 intervals of running a threshold pace 400 then jogging a 200. My 400 splits were as follows: 1:22, 1:23, 1:21, 1:21, 1:22, 1:22, 1:21, 1:22, 1:21, and 1:16. My average 400 was a relatively slow 1:20; that is, the last time I did a Yasso 400 workout at Skyline, my average was 1:17. My legs just felt tired and it was pretty windy. I think the latter was mentally impacting me because my last split was considerable faster, so I had plenty left in me. The good news was that my recovery 200 laps were an average of 1:08; that is, 2 seconds less than my previous best. I finished up by jogging a couple of laps and running back home 5.2 miles back to home.
In regards to my non-running workout, I competed my standard 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
