Interval training today with 5 x 800 meter repeats. Began and ended with an easy 2 mile run for a total of 7.85 miles today. Once again, today I tried to run each of these intervals as near to 3:15 as possible and here are the splits: 3:15, 3:17, 3:15, 3:17, 3:13 (pushed a little harder on that last once because I didn't want it to be my slowest). Tough workout but rewarding at the end. You know you have worked hard and your week quads are evidence of that. This week is a cut back week on Higdon's plan so it will be my last week at or near 40 miles. Probably a good thing since we will be at Duck Creek Village above Cedar City from Thursday - Saturday of this week and the running won't be easy at 8500 feet but I imagine it will be beneficial.
Time: 8:45/mile |
