Overall I was pretty happy with the workout. It never really felt like the pace was too fast for me, which was between 5:40-5:50/mile for most of the repeats. In fact, I actually felt like I could have been a little faster. But toward the end of the workout, I really got tired and my legs got a little heavy due to the decreased mileage lately. Still though, I felt fairly fast even at 7-9 lbs over my best running weight right now. Plus, the humidity was ridiculous and I was able to manage that without any trouble. All things considered, it was a positive workout! Hope your runnings going well too. Have a great week!
... be great today!
Great workout!
ReplyDeleteYour weather sounds like mine... Gotta love humidity!
Starting today we are hitting 90s with 90% humidity in the mornings!
Yay for a great workout and welcome back. Luckily we don't have a lot of humidity here, everytime we get very much I seem to chafe my arm pits, not a fan of that!
ReplyDeleteGreat workout, well done! A little break is always good for us.
ReplyDeleteYou make me so glad that it's winter. Great workout. I'm envious of your recoveries. My coach has been going through a minimalist period and 200m is about the most generous he's been in weeks. Even after I've bribed him with cake.
ReplyDeleteThat mile at the end? Hard!
