AM: Ran 6 miles with Kim including some hill fartlek. Today was probably our warmest morning of the year so far, but of course we had canyon winds to spice things up so we did the river bottoms loop again. Kept the pace nice and relaxed but in the middle I worked with Kim getting in what was supposed to be 4 hill repeats of 30 seconds each with 2 minute rests in between. Except that "Coach Tom" messed up on the second repeat and made her do it for 1 minute instead of 30 seconds. So we decided just to do one more 30s repeat after that.
Late AM: Went out earlier than usual so I could enjoy the nice comfy temps. Did 2 mile warmup then did similar hill workout as I did this morning with Kim except that I did 6 repeats instead of 4. Felt better than last week for most of the repeats but I was feeling a twinge in my left hamstring toward the end that I need to watch closely. Ave pace 8:55. |
