Morning- 3 miles. Felt great! Was super sore from plyos, and weights. But I need to stretch a lot more.... I just need to stretch, and roll like a beast! I am getting my sleep schedule down, which is good. I try to get at least 8 hours every night. And every night I get closer to my goal!
Afternoon- 2 miles warm up/ 2 miles cool down. With regular 0.5 mile warm up. Did 6x1,000's. The first 3 were really great, but then the 4th I just died off bad. I have no idea why!!! But I honestly think it was fear like coach said. Going into the work-out I felt great, and just ready to run some killer repeats... But then when I started to slow down on the 4th. I could tell so easily that I was slowing down a lot. And I tried telling myself to go faster, but it was like my legs were numb, or would not work with my brain.... But I think it was my stride. I heard Casey, and Mike talking something about stride. And it felt great? But I will have to work on that! But splits were 3:06, 3:02, 3:05, and 3:15 (really slow)..., 3:00 (after that speech coach gave us) I started to get rolling! And 6th and final was a 3:05! So all were good,but the 4th one. And coach wanted me around 3:05 on ALL of them. But I will work on that!
Total mileage- 12 miles! |
