Notes
Had a Ladder Fartlek today with pickups ranging from 1,2,3,4,5,6,5,4,3,2,1 minutes with half rest in between each. Way too much snow on the ground in the quad-cities to hit the times I was supposed to hit but ran as close to the effort as necessary for as much as I could with the footing and without getting hit by any cars. Took the one way from rock island through moline almost to the edge of east moline before turning around and coming back. Had 2 mile warm up in 13:30, started the fartlek just after 14 minutes in, then ran my 2 mile-cool down in 13:16. Not quite what I had in mind for the workout but the best I could do given conditions today. Hopefully the roads will be more clear Saturday in Naperville so I can get a little more quality. Still a hard workout but running in the snow and the wind back in face for the last half of the run was rough and did not enhance the pace of the workout.
