Four inches of snow today and more coming down. Outdoor run just isn't happening, not unless Gellco is selling snowshoes. So I drove over to Harbortown for the dreadmill session. Got in there and realized to my delight that someone had turned the heater off, which made it much more bearable. Not that I still didn't send sweat flying everywhere for nine stationary miles, but it wasn't nearly as smothering as it could have been.
Hudson's plan today was 5 X 1 mile at 10K pace. Good thing about dreadmill intervals is that you can kinda force yourself to hit your pace, and I did. Set that mutha on 8.1 mph and off I went, well, after 1.5 mile warmup, anyway. Then I did 440 jog recoveries at somewhere between 10:00 and 11:00 pace, then a 1.5 cooldown at 9:45 or so. Had to take two pitstops after intervals 2 and 4, so I'd have to do math to figure out total time. Which seems to be about 77 minutes, give or take a few. That's OK.
Didn't seem to take all that much out of me, so hopefully legs will have some snap Saturday morning at Russellville. Assuming that Russellville happens, that is. |
