P.M - 2nd run.
Wrestled with the kids but for some reason had them in bed a bit earlier than normal, although tired from patients all day and the speed workout this afternoon, I decided it would be a good idea to run a 10k tired so I can get used to forcing through a run if I had to.
To my surprise I had a neat run, I was tired but I got into a zone where the run felt exhausting but at the same time I could have kept running marathon pace to the finish. I guess I was pretending it was like the end of a marathon, I can only hope it will be like that in Boston.
6 miles - 41:21 (6:52 pace)
1st run at lunch
Very nasty cold wind today plus I have got away from doing speed workouts outside until I find a track when the weather is nicer, too tough on the legs on the streets etc.
Supersets today: 400 (5:15) 800 (5:30) 2400 (5:45) Times 2 with a 800 recovery run between.
I started with the 5:15 pace and felt a bit shaky so I put it down to 5:30 pace as soon as the 400 was done but I felt so good, I decided to keep it going which turned into a 5k.
New PB for a 5k TM - 17:04
I gave a push to break 17 but ran out of time, plus it takes at least 12 seconds to get to 11 on the tm.
I slowed down to 8.7 and did another half mile speed after a couple minutes, did the half mile at 5:30 pace, felt good but I could tell the legs were starting to get tired.
There is a 5 k race this Sunday, think I am going to run it, should be interesting to see how my road time is compared to my TM time.
