    D, how long do you have to wait?


    No more marathons

       

      Good word. I put in 7.3 and to say I ran it would be laughable. My legs were dead and I had zero energy. It was awful.

       

      It would've been a perfect day for 4 miles but I was determined to get it the 7 in. Idiot.

       

      My run today was not great - but sounds like it was better than that  ^^^^^  

       

      5 easy after yesterdays ladder/intervals/fartlek whatever.

      Now 3 easy tomorrow with strides, and the 10K race on Saturday.

       

      I was feeling a little confident after yesterdays workout, but today my legs are so tired I wonder if I'll be recovered in time.

        Must be something from Hudson Elite.  Maggie does the same thing.

         

        If I'm starting and stopping it's an interval. If not, it's steady state. I suppose it's all the same though.

          The question was interval vs fartlek though...

              I ran 8. It felt like about 2 miles too many.

                For me it's always an interval. I associate strides with fartleks but the very meaning of fartlek is speed play (it's Swiss if I recall correctly) so all speed work is technically a fartlek or fartleks.

                  48 hours for them to send the results.  So, I'll call Tuesday.  We checked the CD here and hubby was going to do radiology as his specialty and he does not think it's the meniscus, but we will await the expert's opinion.  I disagree with the ortho in ITB and meniscus, as I don't have any symptoms for either (although I have always felt it's a pinched nerve or a hamstring strain).  Which leaves me in we don't have a fucking idea what it is.  I have another test run this weekend.  We'll see.

                    Ran for the third time. A Fartlek session. Made it as I felt it.

                    2Ks at MP, then a couple of 400s at 5K, then a 2K at 10Kpace, then a couple of speed bursts, then jogged until I'd had enough. 8 miles.

                        So if the hills were different length, are those intervals or fartlek? I labeled it as hill workout  But just thought I'd throw it out there. Workout was about 1 mile easy (mostly downhill), 4 x hill #1 (steepest hill), jog back recoveries, 4x hill #2 (not as steep) jog back recoveries, then about 1 mile, a lot of that uphill, then 2 X hill 3 a and b (shorter hill, a is a little longer & steeper than B, essentially it's a little connector road with a peak in the middle).

                          A triple? Nice. At first glance I thought you ran 25 miles for the day until I realized your mileage is metric. What is that like 15 miles?

                            To me, that is labeled correctly as a hills workout.

                                Yep, like 15.5 miles. Not bad for a Thursday.
