Last interval run -- 3 X 1600 at something approximating 5K pace, although at this point I'm approximating an approximation since I have no real idea what my 5K pace is. In this case I ran at 6:40 pace. Got a little confused; I forgot originally that I was supposed to do the 1600s and started out doing 6 X 600 instead. Realized during the second 600 that this was 1600s night, turned it into a 1000, then ran the last two reps as 1600s. Legs felt pretty good. Actually was not straining too much to maintain that pace, even with the TM cranked to 2% incline to simulate outdoor running. But I'm not sorry I won't be doing any more of those for a while, unless I decide in late June to start doing some serious 5K training. Race is close enough that I can look up the long-range forecast at accuweather.com -- low 45, high 62, clear skies. Might be a bit chilly at 7 a.m. in Oregon. In other words, darn near perfect; if there's about a 5 mph wind and a few clouds to keep me from squinting, it would be perfect. Maybe the fir trees will keep me from squinting anyway. Of course, the forecast has 11 more days to change. |
