Today I went to the gym for speed work so someone could watch my baby for the next hour or so while I was delirious. Today's workout was 1x3200m @ 1/2 marathon pace, 3 mins rest, 2x1600 @ 10k pace, 2 mins rest, 2x800 @5k pace, 2 mins rest.=5 miles speedwork. It didn't look too rough on paper at first, but it ended up being pretty challenging for me. Times: 3200 @ 12:50 (6:25) 3 min rest 1600 @ 6:07 2 min rest 1600 @ 6:10 2 min rest 800 @ 3:00 2 min rest 800 @ 2:58 400 m jog and 10 min cool down on elliptical. The last 800 I had to hang on to the sides not to fall off. I can't remember the last time I had to do that. Exhausted afterwards but legs felt fine! Stretched, iced and compression sleeves afterwards. I might do a couple miles tonight after the kids go the bed to up mileage and stride out legs. I'm off to a funeral in Idaho for the next couple days so who knows what I will fit in. Long run (20) planned for early Friday morning. |
