Notes
Hill/tempo work w/Dan
Pretty nice out this morning. Low-mid 50s with a nice breeze. Wish this weather would last all summer. Met Dan early at his house and we started with a 3+ mile easy warm up to Huffman. Did 5 Huffman loops with medium effort on the uphill and then hard down the back hill since Dan was practicing for bix. Breathing was pretty rough on these and left hammy didnt feel particularly great on the up or downhills. After that, we jogged over to campus and when we hit goldspohn we started a 3 mile tempo (supposed to be at 520 pace). the beginning felt the worst as dan set the pace because I haven't run this fast outside of the half in the last month. After about a half mile it started feeling pretty easy and the rest of the way it wasnt that hard of an effort to maintain pace. the last mile I would've liked to really open up but I was already 1-stepping dan and he had a lot more workout left. Ended up finishing the campus loop towards res and then did prairie and finished the tempo near the stadium. Splits were 5:14,5:19,5:15. Last 1.5 miles were into the wind for the most part. Took a quick pitstop at the stadium and then we jogged over to Huffman. I was cooling down at this point but decided to do 1 hill so hit that moderately hard to open up for Saturday and then I jogged back to his house to get my car. *Accidentally started my watch again for like 30 seconds at the end when I was turning my car around*
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this after a long day yesterday working both jobs and then a late night run after that. Legs didnt feel great but opened up and the tempo pace (HM pace) felt pretty good surprisingly
