Wow, Wednesday’s workout was a good one (and by good, I mean tough). 4×1 mile at tempo, 1 min rest (6:12, 6:11, 6:10, 6:09)5 minute rest3×1 mile at tempo (all at 6:07) I survived! It wasn’t as easy as last week’s tempo run. Probably because it had a total of 12 more minutes at the…
Did I count that right? WOW. That’s pretty scary! Last week went really well. I had a breakthrough tempo run on Tuesday and survived a 10k race on Saturday (my slowest ever, but who’s keeping track? :). Sunday’s long run was 18, and that went great. Legs were pretty sore afterwards — I have a…
