4/1/10

Tue 3/30 - PM 70 minutes incl. 2x3k, 6x200

Workout seemed more impressive at the time than it does in hindsight, but considering the general level of fatigue it'll have to do. Continued dismal conditions outside meant the entire thing was done inside RLTAC. 25 minute warmup was very slow for the first 20 before finally waking up some. After planning on doing 2k reps, changed my mind to try a combo workout instead which ended up being heavy on the LT end of things. Had the idea of running 3k at 42/41/40 pace per lap for each successive km, it ended up a bit faster than that but the same general idea:

3:29/3:21/3:15
3:27/3:22/3:16

3 minute jog between reps. Left TFL and lower back became suddenly tight and quite sore, twinging like crazy on the second rep. All the turns not helping there of course. Took a 3 minute break after the second 3k, tightness in left hip simmered down enough that I felt confident I wouldn't do irreparable harm with the 200s. Thought I could do as many as 10 but cut that back to 6 which was a no-brainer. Underlying fatigue was starting to assert itself, lack of sleep continuing to plague me. Splits on the 200s very unimpressive, between 36 and 37 mostly, but at least they felt smooth. Short cooldown.
