Speed workout 2
So in looking back to last week, I actually made this week's workout harder by having the treadmill at 1% incline. Oh well. Did 8x600 (5.7 mph) with 400 recovery (4.7 mph). Had to cut the last recovery interval a little short due to time. 1.25 mile WU (5.1) but only 0.5 mile CD (5.0, 0% incline) also due to time. 6.5 miles total.
Speed workout #1 - Complete!
Full report on Week 2 coming on Sunday but I did it!! I completed an entire speed workout!! 12x400 with 400 recovery, 1 mile WU/CD - 8 miles total What I did differently this time... Did the run in the evening after work rather than the morning - my runs are stronger in the evening. During the work week, I can't get up early enough to eat before I run (I already get up at 3:30 to run and have to wait an hour after waking up to eat due to medication). Saturdays and Sundays usually aren't an issue because I can take my time and eat, thenw ait 2 hrs before running. So, from now on Tuesday evenings are for speed/strength. Warm up at 5.1 mph 0.5% incline (kept that incline throughout) 400s - 5.7 mph recovery - 4.7 mph In other words, I slowed it way down for recovery and tried to go at a pace for the 400s that was hard but not sprinting. I was feeling it at the end of each repeat but I never felt like I couldn't finish. I know my idea of speed work is other people's recovery runs but whatever. I'm proud of myself today.
