First VO2 max run in a really long time. I was a little apprehensive -- maybe too soon after an 18-miler, a few twinges in the right leg, plus I really don't trust myself on the treadmill at a high speed: one stumble and there's a big plate glass window two feet behind the TM. But off I went tonight. Warmed up for 2.5 miles (during which the safety key disconnected itself once), then started on 1000 meters repetitions at 7:03 pace, with 600-meter jogs in betweem. Safety key came out again during a rep, and almost came out another time (if I ever see who's wrapping the cord up so tight on that safety key, I may garrot them). But managed to get all my reps in at the prescribed pace, no crashes through the plate glass, and the twinges behaved themselves. At least for now; we'll see how the LRE feels in the morning. |
