AHS, 3:45 p.m., sunny, 52. The plan was 4x2000m @ 6:20/mile pace. I completed the workout (4x2000m in 7:48, 7:46, 7:51, 7:51). I was a bit fast on the 2nd one and actually had to run out to lane 8 a few times due to the H.S. track practice. It was probably closer to 7:44 or so. I avg. 7:49 for the workout or 6:17/mile pace. I felt sluggish from the first one, but I never felt any worse as the workout went on. My first repeat usually start a bit rough and get better. I wanted to have my recovery interval at 2:00, but did 2:07, 2:21, 2:37. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being race effort - this was a 6.5 or so. A confidence builder, for me. |
