Early morning workout today on the heels of a good appointment with the PT. Inflamation is way down and no pain during the treatment or during the run.
It was a bit cool this morning but the wind wasn't much of a factor.
The workout was 7x4:00 fartlek on just 1:00 rest. This works out to be just longer than 1200m repeats. So my coach had me aim for 76 second laps or 3:48 at the 1200 mark. After rep #2, I was seriously doubting my ability to finish the workout.
I finished all seven...here are my splits for each rep at the 1200 mark: 3:44; 3:47; 3:46; 3:48; 3:48; 3:49; 3:51.
So I was pretty happy with how things turned out especially given how I felt at the beginning.
Rest day tomorrow followed by runs on Friday and Saturday. If all goes well, then next week I add back in one of the two easy run days I have been omitting this week and last. |
