With an inch of snow on the ground and chilly temps, I opted to drive down to the Dempsey Indoor at UW and do the workout there. Glad I did. It's race week so I am backing off the mileage a bit and wanted to do the first-half workout today instead of tomorrow to maximize for recovery.
Workout was 3x2000m on just 2:00 rest. Target time was 6:15-6:17 which is 5:02-5:04 pace.
Ended up killing the workout without really intending to. crossed each mile mark int the 4:54-4:56 range and finished 6:06 (4:54), 6:09 (4:56), 6:08 (4:56). I could have easily done another repeat and maybe two at that pace. I haven't felt this good during a workout in a while. Hopefully it carries over to Saturday's 15M race.
Brought two of my kids with me. I had my 10-year old son do a broken mile. He was much improved over last year. |
