Speed work at the gym today. I just wasn't feeling it on the warm-up, but I can contribute that to a terrible diet. Yesterday I drank a Protein drink in the morning then nothing until 4pm. To break the unintended fast, I saw it urgent to eat a bowl of chocolate ice cream. Just before bed I ate some white rice. I'm not sure what was up yesterday, but I knew it would effect how I felt today. I ended up running what I planned to do, but felt much worse than I should have. Diet makes a diff!:) 1x400 @ 1:25 with equal jog 6x2 mins @ 5:48 AP with 2 min jog I ran the first lap to get a feel for the others. Judging by the feel, I knew the rest would be buggers, and they were. 6x2 mins @ 5:48 AP. My energy just wasn't there from the start. Oh well, I sucked it up. Theses were nothing compared to the 4x5 mins last week. I have no clue why the plan had me pound those out in the beginning with the following days starting at 60 seconds and working up from there to 5 mins. I guess it's a good check point workout to see the progress over the month before I move on to Stamina/tempo workouts. |
