MonDAILIES: Take Two (Read 34 times)


No more marathons

    I have had that one before where you do the 1 minutes at 5k pace, 2 minutes at 10k pace, 3 minutes at HMP, with matching recoveries. And sometimes the recoveries are at "moderate effort".

     

    The variety of it is what I like best.

     

    I have a version of that one on Thursday:

     

    2 miles warm up/1 mile cool down
    6 x 800m, :90 seconds rest between each
    Paces:
    1 & 2: 10km race effort
    3 & 4: 5km race effort
    5 & 6: Try for faster than 5km race effort

      School is out again today.  I guess it refroze again over night and all of this rain has added to the slush.  Roads aren't terrible but the driveways and parking lots of all the schools were.  We are going to be working all summer at this rate.

       

      Even with time to run today, I still think I'll run with the group tonight if there is a group run.  Right now it's 36, feels like 30 with rain.  Later it will be 39 feels like 34 with showers.

       

      Does your area build inclement weather days into the calendar? The public schools here have 5 or 6 days built in, usually at the end of the year, that if there are no closings, school ends earlier. I work in a non-public school. We make up very missed day-- we have them predetermined. Usually it's tacked on to the end of the year or spring professional days. If we go over, then often spring break gets shortened.

          You will easily run a 5+ mins HM PR

           

          It ain't done 'til it's done. We'll see. I'd like to run sub 1:30.

                    Ran my 6 outside. My legs felt like bricks and it was slow until Mile 4 but I did it. No weights because mt shoulder is still achy. That accident really screwed me up.

                        Today was a SRD for me.  I was thinking of running anyway (and saving my rest day for later this week) since the weather looks pretty stupid this week but I was tired and had nosework class.

                          I have one in mind, but it's late in May, so the temperature might be warm.

                           

                          In other news, my foot pod decided not to work today. Changed the battery, and still nothing. Damn. Those things are expensive, too. I'll ask a guy from work if he wants to sell me his, but I doubt it. I'll probably need to buy a new one, ffs.

                              Group run didn't come together, so it was 10K easy on the TM for me.  I'm on a 7-day TM streak.
