Since this is the first workout day since Boston, I wanted to do a little speed work but not completely blowout my legs. AM Run... [Q] 8.3 miles total (55:53). Warmed-up to Viewmont HS then 800m of speed builds (jog curve, stride the straightaway) prior to workout--total warm-up was around 2.65 miles. Decided on 5x800m with 200m recovery (~70 second slow jog). Workout went as follows... 800m #1 - 2:32 800m #2 - 2:35 800m #3 - 2:38 800m #4 - 2:37 800m #5 - 2:38 The first two intervals were quicker than they should have been--could have been because I had to deal with the Viewmont track team practicing at the same time. The effort really wasn't that difficult and I probably could have comfortably done three more 800's. Getting to 10 would have been doable, but tougher. Cooled down 800m @ Viewmont then same route home. Light Stretch after.
PM Run... [E] 4.8 mile run (31:36). Pace was a little quicker than I would have liked--probably should have worn a HR monitor to keep it easier. Legs were tired after run--go easy tomorrow. Stretch after.
