I wasn't too excited to run intervals, but when my Sketcher's Go2 shoes arrived this morning, that changed! I'm very impressed with those flashy shoes! Yasso's 800 workout 1.5 mile wu 10x800 (400 jog/rest) Splits- 2:58, 2:56, 2:56, 2:56, 2:56, 2:54, 2:54, 2:54, 2:50, 2:46 (2:54ap) .5 cd This workout was hard, but not terrible. I'm happy with the results. I hit the average pace I was hoping for today. I know based on the results, Yasso predicts I can run a 2:54 flat marathon (give or take five mins). I'm not sure I believe that right now, but aided, yes! Although they got a little harder at the end, I felt better for the last four than I did for the first six. I guess it took some time to get into a good rhythm. I'm hoping to repeat this workout two more times before October and bring my average pace down 10 more seconds. I've also noticed that for the past two speed/tempo workouts, my lungs have been more tired than my body. It seems this is usually the other way around. I need to keep working quality cardio miles. I'm a not so hot, sweaty mess. Time to primp up for my hot date tonight. Today my husband and I celebrate our 12 year anniversary! Good job to us!:)
