Notes
Michigan Set
Goal: 3/4 mi (8:10 pace), 3 x 1/2 Tempo (8 min), 2 x 1/2 VO2Max (7:30pace) alternating
Actual: 3/4 mi (8:04); 1/2 (8:07 pace), 1/2 (7:30 pace), 1/2 (7:44 pace), 1/2 (7:17 pace), 1/2 (7:30 pace)
Ran the first two wearing the Cortanna's & then the last four wearing the Hyperion Tempo. On the 3/4 mi I did not feel dead-legged or get into a lactic acid overload which has occurred ea time I ran #1 of any set - felt quicker & stronger & this did not take a lot out of me. On the first 1/2 mi tempo I controlled the pace to run this a tad bit slower vs. Number 1 (which I did). Then put on the Hyperion Tempos to run the remainder. On #2 ran this faster (but not too fast) yet was disappointed in the time & concerned I was going to start running much slower. Controlled the pace on #4 & finally started to feel the Hyperions' "kick in" (felt bouncier, springy & this felt easier yet >20 sec/mi faster vs #2). Ran the final VO2Max effort & this did feel fast yet felt like the same effort as #3. And then finished out again controlling the pace running it purposely slower vs #5 (yet much faster vs #4 yet felt the same). Accurate splits below:
