Run warm up/down 35:00 [2] 4.44 mi (7:53 / mi)
shoes: February 2008 Asics
To the track. Got started a few minutes late, so tried to be brisk. Unfortunately, my stomach wasn't great, but managed to get there OK, and didn't need the facilities either, so I guess I was ready to go.
Plyometrics warm up/down 7:00 [2]
Normal warmups. I had done a few minutes of bonus stretching while the guys were still warming up. I didn't want to be tight like last week.
Run warm up/down 4:00 0.5 mi (8:00 / mi)
shoes: February 2008 Asics
Normal strides.
Run intervals 33:41 4.47 mi (7:32 / mi)
shoes: February 2008 Asics
Workout was:
1600 @ 5K pace
400 @ < 3K pace
1200 @ 5K pace
400 @ < 3K pace
1200 @ 5K pace
400 @ < 3K pace
800 @ 3-5K pace
200 rest after all.
Normal crew, plus John. SGB showed up just in time, deftly avoiding drills.
First few were nice. I felt good, and thought about quick turnover. As the workout progressed, my stomache was more noticeable, and during the 2nd 1200, I really tightened up. Especially the mid left hamstring.
By the last 400 I contemplated stopping, but the 400 felt OK.
On the last 800 I was very tight and my left achilles started bothering me.
So, is this tightness normal? Feeling bad on intervals makes sense, but I felt tonight my major limitation was in the legs and and tightness related rather than lactate or cardiovascular.
Anyway, the good things were how I held on to the 400s. Also, fairly steady, but I felt like I didn't do a good job on the last 800. And when I finished that I felt like I should have given more.

Run warm up/down 31:00 [2] 4.44 mi (6:59 / mi)
shoes: February 2008 Asics
Felt fantastic on the way back. Yes, I was tight, but I was running just under the speed when it was noticeable. So, I could just cruise along very happily.
