Today's workout gives me hope! The dream of BQing in London may be just that, but I felt that today's workout was a step (or two) in the right direction to running a PR in London! The workout was 8 x 800s at the track. Normally I listen to music, but the ipod was dead so it was just me, and the track doing battle this evening. Started out feeling very sluggish, but felt better as the workout went on. This despite some tough evening conditions. Here are the splits: 3:14, 3:12, 3:10, 3:05, 3:01, 3:08, 3:05, 2:52. About 6 weeks ago I would have been bitterly upset by those times. However, its been tough going since then so I'll take it. Its just over 5 weeks until race day. Hopefully I can build a little momentum, and then you never know what might happen on race day given the right conditions. Game on! |
