Today I did five 1000 meter intervals. I was going to try and do them at 5:00 pace, but that didn't happen. I just didn't feel very good the whole workout. The intervals started out uphill, then had a little downhill, and ended up mostly flat. I went to Cottonwood Complex. I started out warming up about two miles, and found a pretty good 1000 meter course. I was shooting for under 3:07. (Under five minute mile pace) My first one was 3:19. I felt pretty good the first 400 or so, but after that I just ran out of energy. The next one was about 3:20. I felt the same way as I did on the first one. I just didn't have the energy to go any faster. The third one was once again 3:19. I felt the same way as the first two. On the fourth interval I changed the course. I went where we did 800 meter intervals last year, but added some on. This one was about 3:17. I felt a little better. On the last one, I pushed it hard and got 3:10. These are my first intervals so far on grass, so I guess I can't expect too much. Hopefully I feel much better next time. When I was done, I cooled down about 2.5 miles around the park. I lifted weights later. I lifted a new max deadlift tonight, and did it two times! I did two reps at 270, and five reps at 240. I also did push-ups and ab work. |
