Fartlek Run - 10 miles w/8 x 30 sec. @ 5K-3K pace. Average pace. 9:30. Weather: 51°F, 87% humidity, wind 3 SE, sunny. I think I ran too hard last week. I'm still tired. I had a hard time getting out of bed and getting out the door this morning. I thought about cutting this run short, but instead I did the full distance but at an easier pace than when I did a very similar workout last week. I did a better job of hitting the correct pace on the intervals this time. I was aiming for around 7:00 pace on the fast intervals. I did 2 miles at 10:08 pace to start and then I did this:
Pace for 30 sec. | Pace for the rest of the mile |
7:34 | 9:58 |
6:49 | 9:45 |
7:04 | 9:55 |
7:08 | 9:21 |
6:55 | 9:14 |
7:04 | 9:22 |
6:59 | 9:17 |
7:03 | 9:09 |
I've got a two/day scheduled for Wednesday this week. I'll run to work and run home. I've done that once or twice before, but now I'm going to start doing it as a more regular thing, once or twice a week. I've got to remember to take an extra change of clothes to work tomorrow.
