11/23/14

Sat 11/22 - double, 1:40 total incl. 8k threshold and 4(200,100)

AM - 60 minutes incl. 8k progression, Longfellow loop. For the first time in a long long time, a weekend that could be set aside for training purposes only. Trying to do some sort of double workout, frayed calf be damned. The front end a threshold session, capped at two laps and theoretically trying to run around 6 minute pace. Splits:

6:01/5:59/2:49
5:48/5:51/2:42
ca. 29:30 for the full 8k

Got a little tougher than I would have liked the second loop, of course the pace increase had something to do with that. Not as cold as last night thankfully, or as windy but still not exactly ideal. Overall a decent effort despite feeling somewhat tired from the get-go

PM - 40 minutes incl. 4(200, 100). Took a long nap in the afternoon but still feeling more flat than I would like. More from the week as a whole than the morning. Didn't bother timing the repeats, but it was 8 laps total and 4 sets of running a 200, jogging 300, running 100, jogging 200. Glorified strides. Originally I had grandiose notions of something more substantial but as the day wore on I knew I wouldn't be up to anything like that. Windier than the morning.
