Notes
Fast Interval
Goal: 2x500m (6:22 pace); 3 x 1/4 mi (6:04 pace); 4x300m (5:40 pace)
Actual: 3 x 500m (6:07 pace); 3 x 1/4 mi (5:56 pace); 4x300m (5:40 pace)
Focused on running the first two sets faster vs. a more "significant descend" as in previous efforts. Felt strong. Ran the 500m in the New Balance perf trainers. Ran an extra 500m as I felt good on these (the work I did in the "Blend Set" on Tue helped as I felt faster -- usually I feel "winded" during the the first set until I get a second wind). The 1/4 miles felt good & not too fast (also concerned about hip flexor as speed work really stresses it). Y closed when done w/the 1/4 miles so had to drive over to Phillips Pl to run the 4x300's on their treadmill. It took about into the middle of the 2nd 300m until I felt locked in again. After #3, decided to increase the pace as I felt stronger.
3x500m (6:12/6:06/6:03)
3x400m (5:59/5:54/5:55)
4x300m (5:48/5:45/5:40/5:27)
Overall: 2.4281 miles at 5:55 pace
