Speedwork (6X800's)
1 mile warm-up
2X200 (37 & 40) too fast!!
6X800 (3:00, 3:02, 3:02, 3:03, 3:05, 3:09) the trend shows I was getting tired?!
2X200 (40 & 42) forced myself to slow down on the second set
1 mile cool down
Forgot my gps so Craig yelled out my laps and times. He did speed work yesterday so he only ran my recovery laps with me. I had to use the bathroom again after my 3rd 800. The run to the restroom and back was my recovery lap. But I felt gut sore and rubber legged after that. That probably explains why my times started to drop on the last 3 intervals. I felt strong the first 3 intervals until I had the situation... again!!! I wish I knew how to get this out of me before I run... and it's more complicated than it sounds too! I go before I run!!! I did stop eating ice cream the night before speedwork and I have noticed I'm not so sluggish at the track!
This evening, I swam 1.1 miles (26:20) at Sand Hollow Reservoir along the dike due to high winds and choppy water. I pushed it hard and had a good swim. Some of the other triclub guys were trying to keep up with me. It's fun to be one of the faster swimmers out there!
I ran another 3.5 miles after my swim. I bike is in the shop so no ride for me! |
