Notes
Wow, that was horrible. No other way to look at it.
Hoping to break 5:00 today. On Wednesday I ran a 5:11 split for 1600m of my 3k race. Aiming today to have 75 splits (with the first lap being under 70).
The first 400 felt pretty good. After that, around laps 3-4 I already started feeling tired (quads, same as Saturday's Herman progression run). After that some guys started passing me. Coleman stopped giving me my splits after the first 800. Didn't know that my times had gotten that slow.
My slowest split on my 3k was 84, but today I dropped all the way to a 86. My legs were just dead today, that's all there is to it. Tried to do some tricks to speed up my legs (e.g. driving the arms back) but nothing truly worked.
Glad I got in my great PR on wednesday before having this disappointing race. I think this was the odd-ball run though, not Wednesday, so I'm confident that I can stay positive and do really well this year!
