Progression run tonight at Cross Park, 12 laps around the lake. Seven laps, 4.00 miles, moderate effort. Hard progression for four laps (2.29 miles) -- 8:31, 8:19, 8:20, and the11th lap at 7:50, just about GMP. Then jogged a lap to cool down. Probably the toughest progression run I've done in a while. Considering I didn't sleep worth a darn last night and worked 11 hours today -- plus was fighting nausea for a while -- I'm quite pleased with it.
Plan either tempo intervals or an easy run tomorrow night, and the other one on Sunday to complete what would be about a 55-mile week. And, best of all, the leg was virtually no issue at all. It's yapping at me right now, but didn't act up during the run at all, and very little during the day. I wish I knew what I could do to have more days like today, other than sit a lot and stand up as little as possible. |
