Given that the tracks are still covered with snow despite the near-60-degree weather today, I had to use the stretch behind Rustin's stadium...again! I jogged there from home, racing flats in hand. I sensed that I was tired during my warm-up. I felt flat. I tried to move on.
My initial thought was to do 12 x 300, in sets of 4, each 2 seconds faster than the other: 4@48, 4@46, 4@44, and 4@42. I'd take 3:00 between repeats, with no additional rest between sets.
I did the first in 48, but it felt terrible. I then did the next one uphill in 50. This was awful. I felt like I was coming down with something. I then bumped into a buddy of mine on a run. I chatted for a few and then decided that I would just adjust the workout and not stress out too much. I wound up doing an additional 8 150s in 22, alternating uphill and downhill, with 90 seconds' rest between runs.
I am disappointed that I couldn't take advantage of this mild day. But what can you do?
