Your basic 2M run...in 16:45 (8:35; 8:10)
Sunday, May 31, 2026-
Drove to Audubon to meet up with Bruce, John, and Rob. It was a short sprint day: 3 x (30m, 60m, 100m). We were supposed to be running at 95%. Wishful thinking. The break between efforts was 3:00, between sets 4:00 (or was it 6:00?). I timed all of my efforts. The 30s got progressively faster, starting at 4-high and coming down to 4-low. The 60s started in the high-8s and ended in the low-8s. The 100s were 13.8, 13.4, and 13.6.

hamstring started to get angry
Sat, 5/23-Went to the Y...by myself! 2M on treadmill (9:00+8:30=17:30). I had intended to start at 8:30/M, then drop down to 8:00, but my knee was bothering me, especially during the first mile.
