Notes
Treadmill asterisk, but damn I felt fit today, and this one was fun.
4x 1 mile @ 10k.
I did this workout last spring before grandma's half, and I went 6:02, 6:05, 6:05, 6:04, and it was HARD.
Today, albeit on a traedmill, I ran 6:00, 5:56, 5:56, 5:52. And it definitely didn't feel as hard as it felt in June.
Who knows what it means, and likely it doesn't mean much at all, but ripping of some sub 6 miles has definitely never felt so comfortable, and 90 seconds rest in between felt like plenty to be ready to rock again.
I don't think I can actually run 5:56's for 10k right now, but for today the effort felt right.
I went into the workout excited to work, well aware of the fact that this was the last opportunity to throw just a little more fuel into the engine. As the 3rd and 4th reps got hard I focused on form and cadence, and visualizing next weekend, and I was more than happy to be putting in the work in the hopes of being as ready as I can possibly be in 10 days.
They hay is in the barn, It's taper time.
