Run, run, run…

Goal – 8m @ 7:22 pace
Actual – 8m @ 7:16 pace

Legs, tired, wanted to stop in the middle. But, once 4m came around it was
just mind over pavement to keep on moving.

Is it possible to say there is a good day at track? But, it was!

Workout — 6×800 w/ 400 rest
3:00
3:00
3:03
3:01

3:01

Sweet!

A good day at track, hard to belive… Rough stats:
1200 – 4:27
1200 – 4:27
800 – 3:07
800 – 3:02
400 – 1:30
800 – 3:01

Ok, what’s up with that 400 instead of an 800, and why 3:07 not another
3:01, it’s all in the details. The targets for the 1200 were 4:41 so I knew
I was going fast and the 800 were targeted at 3:06. But, I was feeling good
on the 1200 so went for solid consistant pace and then thought about trying
for the 3:06 pace on the 800s… In the end it felt better to go a bit
faster, so I did.

Now about that 400 in the middle, when you have you kids at track things
happen… My daughter tripped and skinned her knee on the 400 so I stopped
did a litle basic eval of the situation. Settled her on the bleachers with
and did the last 800 to get things done.

…now about those 20 miles this weekend…

Just some interesting clothing I came across

Ok… So the training program said: 18 miles @ PMP + 45-60 seconds. I knew
I was going too fast, but when I got to 9 miles and saw that I was averaging
a bit too fast, the goal got revised to make the first 9 and second 9 equal.
All in all it was a good run, but ended up running 18m @ PMP + 25 seconds.

Legs are tired, but feel good otherwise. Ate well, though probably should
have drank a bit more. It was nice to see that my heart rate was sitting
around 147 for the last miles (or 79% of MHR).
