Having been duly chastised by Coach Sasha, tonight's run changed from five miles recovery to eight miles GA-progression, winding up at MP for the last half-mile. (Sasha didn't suggest a progression run; what he did suggest is more miles, less speedwork). I threw in the progression on my own. I've got ten weeks to get ready for a BQ, and if more miles are the ticket, then I'll do more miles. Tuesday night was supposed to be a nine-mile run with VO2 intervals. I'll probably do 11, no intervals, but maybe some strides.
Anyway, the run went well. I again seemed to get more comfortable as the pace increased; whether that's because I finally got warmed up or just run better at a more aggressive pace (or both) is uncertain. The weird distance is because the TM refused to let me shut it down when I finished the run for a few seconds, hence an extra .01 mile.
Now I need to find time to sit down and tweak the schedule for the next few weeks to reflect the change from speedwork to miles. Under pure Pfitz, this is when the heavy speedwork starts. |
