biking 55:00 [3] 14.0 mi (3:56 / mi)
To and from work. ( short little stop at Hammond Pond to drop off some streamers) After work biked to Dedham to get Sam's car back from the shop (aka Jeff) in preparation for picking up my sister and brother-in-law from the airport. Sadly their flight was canceled and by the time we figured that out it was already too late for me to change plans and attend the CSU weekly training up at Prospect Hill.
The cancellation became an opportunity...
The cancellation became an opportunity...
Track 26:00 [3] 2.5 mi (10:24 / mi)
... and the opportunity became a reality.
have wanted to do more speed work on the track. talking to Jeff before going over to the track helped me realize that my desire to do 400 intervals is a bit of a counter-productive thing. 400 reps at the speeds I want to run them are likely not the ideal way to train speed ( this is relying heavily on Daniels of course).
The psychological factors can't be avoided though, and I really wanted to do this workout! It makes me feel fast, and confidence can't be overvalued.
goal was 10x400 with 200 jogging rest in between. my initial hope was 70 seconds for the pace, Jeff thought that might be too fast and my legs thought so too.
a hot evening and not a great surface on the dedham highschool track, a lot of track joggers though they mostly stayed out of my way. Wore my fast shoes because feeling fast is nice. Calves really really tight I assume still from last Thursday. First 4 felt easy, next 3 felt really hard, last 3 were just regular hard feeling. Kept everything at about 72 pace. Next time I want to try some all out 400s with full recovery, just to see what I'm capable of. Rest at the end got a little out of control I guess, but I am really happy with the workout. Sad to miss hills with the CSU crew but great to finally get out on the track again.
