3 easy in a.m. 7.5 in the afternoon. 5x1.5 mile repeats. The 'easy' goal with these was to keep them all under marathon pace. A tougher goal was to keep them all under 10, but with the temp still at 97 degrees, I was not expecting this. I ran with the xc team so i hoped they could keep me going. Came through first one in 10min even. Uhoh, I had not expected the amount of hills on this all grass course. Anywho, short water break and then 10:20, 10:40, 11:15 and 11:25. Just ran out of energy toward the end but still finished the workout. I have never ran well in heat so hopefully getting some of these workouts in will help in case the marathon is warm. |
