Notes
Temp 25 Winds Calm.
Alternating Tempo Run. Energy levels not 100%, but improving, still stiff, but again better. Some achy surface muscles, but deeper fibers have some noticeable "pop". Will count that as good thing, too.
Yesterday's melting has re-froze. Bit of a tip-toeing warm-up over to the track. Being cautious with wet pavement and shadows not knowing what is slick. 2.47 miles at 8:19 average pace.
All eight lanes are still covered on about 75% of the track. Enough snow and sleet on top of ice for some footing. Garmin alerts at 0.60 miles...i.e. math for dummies 1K. 1K / 2K format with 1Ks at MP and 2Ks at 15K/10K.
1K @ 7:26 average pace.
2K @ 6:55 average pace.
1K @ 7:26 average pace.
2K @ 6:50 average pace.
1K @ 7:22 average pace.
Workout was consistent, but not fast. Neuromuscular effort felt right, but cardio effort felt soft. Not sure how much of the slowness was me physically and how much of it was the condition of the track. Know it was some of both. Did catch my mind drifting a couple of times after about 16-18 "go straight and turn lefts".
Down = 1.83 miles at 8:21 average pace. Seeing some of the ice patches in early daylight is scarier than it was seeing them in the darkness and shadows.
