Big Workout

Or at least I tried.  Wasn't feeling great today.  I should probably have postponed it until tomorrow.  I had a tight hamstring all day yesterday and today.  It wasn't letting me really get the legs moving today.  The workout today was 8x3 min at CV pace (5:40) with 1:30 rest in-between then some Tinman tempo miles after.  I ran the Millville hills loop the correct way then continued on TOU course.  

3.5 mile warmup @ 7:20-7:30

 3 mins at the following paces -

  • 6:52 pace (up-hill)
  • 5:30 (down)
  • 5:49 (rolling)
  • 5:24 (down)
  • 5:47 (rolling)
  • 5:47 (flat)
  • 5:45 (slight down, then flat)
  • 5:46 (mostly flat)

That put me at mile 21 of TOU so I ran to 23 trying to go 6:20 pace.  I went 6:17 then 6:24.  I half-heartedly ran one more but ended up at 6:35 so I was done and ran home with cooling down at ~ 7 min pace. 

Overall, I am sure the long run Saturday affected me quite a bit.  The hammy loosened up a bit, but it will take a few days to work the kinks out.  Another workout in the books even if it felt like I was just punching the clock and not doing anything special.  Easy day tomorrow is in order.

7 sub-5:50 miles is a good workout.

Uh, its only sub 5:50 pace for 3 mins each repeat. Fartlek style. I would call it an average workout, but I am glad I gave it a good effort and did what I could.

Pushing through the ones that don't feel good always make you stronger. Where your feeling good and saucy it's easy to go hammer a Big Workout.

Good job.

Cody- you're running well. You should expect some great things at St George- maybe another PR?

From Brent on Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 21:32:44

Cody, I think your running goals should be adjusted, great comeback from injury. Good to see you on the parkway the other day and thanks for the kind encouragement.

Have a great St.George
