Week 1 of speed training
Incredible Boston Marathon yesterday. I took the day off.
Last week I finished with an 8.3 mile 'long' run. Had a nice pace of 7:47 and GAP pacing of under 7:30s for the last 3 miles. Nice effort. Saturday I did my 8x200 intervals. About 40 seconds each. Didn't really feel like I could hold it up for a mile - but I guess that is the point of the speed training. Had a good 3 days off and then headed out today for a repeat of last week: 2 miles at 5k pace. So i did 6:39 and 6:37 this time. A tad slower, but negative splits. I capped the day off with 2x400s - off track hard effort. Trying to hit my mile pace - but was probably a little off.
