Notes
Started out on the mile and was flowing pretty well. I was about 2:32 at half mile. Instead of easing up I kept the foot on the accelerator. My PR in the mile is only 5 flat, so it wasn’t unreasonable to hit that in a workout. I didn’t try any harder, just kept that nice rhythm going. I was 5:02 and not at all disappointed. If anything, I was more worried that I had shot my load on the first interval and wouldn’t be strong for the rest.
The first 800 was a bitch. I started still out of breath and feeling buried. Henz ran the first lap of each 800 with me, which really helped establish pace and made the set more enjoyable.
The 400s went well. They might have been a bit faster than they should have been. Henz ran all of them with me, which really helped get me through the last set.
By the end of this workout I really wanted to drop dead. I kicked my ass big time. In addition, my hands were painfully cold. We ran a 10 minute cool down after. I should have done some strides but my hands were just too cold.
I weighed 138.2 after the workout. I haven’t seen that number since I was a sophomore in HS.
