Notes

Back to back workouts are the FUTURE!

Actually, this probably just went well because of the weather (75 and fairly dry) and maybe too long rests, but the book didn't specify what the rests should be and I didn't think to look at an old WO. Was probably fine, but I should have at least made the final 200jog as part of the 3min rather than in addition to. Ah well, I'm positive I could have done it with shorter rest.

Anyway, felt smooth as butter. This workout was somewhat daunting because of the workout yesterday and because I haven't done any rep longer than a 1600 so far. But as soon as I got moving, it blew by. The first 4800 was perfect in my opinion... 5:42-5:40-5:38. Then, walked 200 and got going on the 200s that felt like strides. Took my time on the recovery jogs and waited an extra ~15-20s to round out the rest at 90s between, walked another 200 after, then into the 3200. Came around quick but after the 200s, felt like a jog... just never really got any harder so the pace didn't slow. It probably should have been a little slower, and honestly the 200s too by a hair, but with no race until next week I'm not worried if this wasn't a perfect T pace WO. Felt great, though.

Killin it! ON TRACK?

Paul Malek

On track #sorryJML. I wouldn't be so BOLD as to claim this level of precision for anything but track!

You need a wheel!

Paul Malek

I've actually considered getting one before, but they're expensive!

J_M_L

Yeah, kind of worth it though. A third of the price of a good GPS.

J_M_L

You got the rests right btw.

Paul Malek

Nice. They made sense in my head but felt too easy so I second guessed myself, ha. And true, probably will get one in the future. For now, aside from impact benefits, I don't really feel the need to get grass workouts in since I won't be in any XC races this year, plus the track provides good feedback since I've apparently lost my sense of judging pace well. And I doubt I'd have the patience to wheel loops beforehand at the moment, haha

One of Jack's Laws- specificity!

Paul Malek

Ha well, road ≈ track. More so than grass, anyway!
