AM - 24 minutes on the treadmill, incl. 5x2 minute pickups. Warmed up for 9 minutes which was about a mile then onto the reps at 10.5 mph, with 1 minute recoveries at 8 mph. Calf was ominously stiff and tight for a few minutes of the warmup but able to do the faster running without damaging anything, I think.
PM - 45 minutes incl. 10x400. Back on the outdoor track for the first time in months. Looking to do something quite similar to the morning session without a lot of time spent because the weather conditions weren't favorable. Went with short threshold reps and even shorter recoveries, i.e. 100m jog. The massive storm that had been predicted for days thankfully stayed out to sea but its presence was felt in the despicably strong and cold winds that were blasting away all day. Bundled up for the cold including the headsock and vest, and kept every stitch of clothing on for the workout which is saying something. No escaping the wind needless to say, got raked on every backstraight. At least 20 mph sustained with gusts a lot more than that. A few of the reps I got stood up by the gusts which made holding a rhythm something of a challenge. Tired by the end but made it through in one piece at least. Splits nothing to write home about even given the cold and wind. Calf stiff at the outset like in the morning but not that much of an issue during the workout. Splits:
86.2 (32.7)
86. 0 (30.7)
87.1 (30.8) wind gust
85.3 (33.6)
85.8 (30.4)
87.7 (29.5) wind gust
88.6 (29.7) wind gust
86.2 (31.8)
87.0 (31.7)
