Plan today called for a track ladder run. Not particularly long but high intensity. One mile warm up followed by 400, 800, 1200, 800, 400 at 5k pacing. The 400s were to be slightly faster. Workout ended with a one mile cool down. Just missed the Dallas Athletes rush at the middle school this morning so the track was almost empty. My legs still felt a little heavy today and I was worried about fatigue today. I have been going pretty hard for at least 9-10 days straight.
Warm Up Mile: 9:51
400: 7:53 pace slower than expected (7:40 range expected)
800: 8:03 pace slower than expected (7:50 range expected)
1200: 8:08 pace slower than expected (7:50 range expected, really started to fell tired on this one)
800: 8:12 pace slower than expected (7:50 range expected, fading fast)
400: 7:38 pace on target (7:40 range expected)
Cool down mile: 9:59
I did not hit target today but considering how far I have come in the past few months, I'm not going to be too upset. I know the workouts have been tough for the past week. Tomorrow is the 4th and we are going to the lake. I am going to attempt to ride the bike there and swim in the lake, if possible. It is pretty busy on the 4th so swimming may not happen tomorrow.
