AM: Warmed up for a couple of miles then it was time for hill repeats. Kim and I were joined by JohnA today as we have been wanting to "share the pain" of the hill repeats and John is always a good glutton for punishment. John and I did 8 x 90s repeats with rests of around 2 1/2 minutes (Kim did 6 repeats as per Coach Tom's orders, I'm sure she would have done 8 if I would have let her). These longer hill repeats are pretty tough but it helped to have John there right on my tail and breathing down my neck the whole time. It didn't help that we had some wind in our faces during most of the repeats. I think John was sandbagging a bit and not going all out since I think it was his first time doing this type of workout this year. Hopefully he can join us again in the coming weeks. Ave pace 9:20.
PM: Went part way out with Nate and Paul towards the lake before turning back early and getting in 4.5 miles. I think those guys ended up with 6.2. Legs are pretty hammered from the hills this morning so I took it real easy. Ave pace 8:42. |
