The Tuesday track run basically consisted of a warm up, (6) 600s in the 2:30-2:40 range which would equate to about 6:40-7:10 pace per mile. I do this calculation because my garmin will tell me what my pace per mile is for each lap I set. Woke up around 5:00am and left the house at 5:55am. It is a about 1.5 miles to the track. I walked the first .4 miles to get loose and then ran the final mile to the track. Jeff was at the track and I got a little confused with the math for the 600s this morning. I decided to go pretty hard and see where the times fell. The times Jeff gave me were correct. I have an option on my watch to see the elapsed time on each lap. I don't use this much. If you are behind, it's hard to catch up. I did use it a little today on the last few intervals. I took a bottle of water with me and had a Honey Stinger before I left the house and another when I finished the fourth interval. Three of my intervals were in the designated range and 3 were over a little bit. The 600s this week took a little more out of me than the 400s last week. I'm not sure if it is too much Olympic watching and lack of sleep that may be keeping me tired. I am trying to avoid the heat as much as possible. It was still mid 80s this morning at 6am and was in the 90s when I left for work. Jeff wants to know where I am at towards the end of the week to see if you push ahead or ease up. Hard to tell right now. I definitely don't feel as good as I did a month ago and felt a little dizzy before starting the run back to the house. The speed intervals are pretty tough.
