Track Work
I had trackwork on my schedule for Tuesday night. Let's just say that after my warm-up mile and 2 laps, I had to get home rather quickly to tend to some GI issues. Blah! It's a fact; it happens. If you run, I dare you to say you've never been victim to a crap-attack. :)
Anyway, I was determined to get this track workout in, as it is supposed to help us figure out a strategy and pace for my half-marathon, so I was a bit bummed things didn't workout on Tuesday.
I finally made it back to the track last night and suprised myself with a PR... or two.
1 mile warm up
3 X 400 @ 1 min rest – 10K effort (2:55, 2:48, 2:44)
400 jog easy
2 X 1 mile fast (11:53, 12:00) <---fastest miles ever and no walking. A PR1
400 jog easy
3 X 400 @ 1 min rest – 10K effort (2:56, 2:53:2:49)
1 mile cooldown
First, I've never run a mile non-stop at track, and rarely do I do it. I take pre-determined walk breaks all the time. Last night I did it twice.
Second, I've never run two miles at this pace before. Ever.
It's nice to see some positive. I still hate track work, but I know it's good for me.
