Notes
It was a pretty nice evening and I still needed to do some tempo work for the race on Saturday, so I opted to do a few pickups while I was on the roads near McCarty. I went through Wedgewood-Honeycreek-76th-Honeycreek-McCarty where I did several loops on the blocks around the neighborhood before heading back to do the last few segments on the KK parkway. Then I headed back via 76th-Honeycreek-69th-Massachusetts-69th. The workout started at 20:00 and I got going at initially threshold pace, then I upped the tempo as I went along gradually until I was under 5:20 pace. I did that until just after 31:00, then got going again at 35:00. That was a 5:00 segment at just over 5:10 pace, then 3:00 rest, 3:00 hard, 3:00 rest, 3:00 hard. The last two segments were also around 5:10 pace and I was okay with that for it being on the roads.
Not a bad workout for it being a bit impromptu and considering that I usually hate doing workouts on the roads. I feel much better about going fast on Saturday now. Now we just need good weather...kind of like tonight.
