My first hard workout of the week felt good, despite a high level of fatigue the day before. I ran to the Marcy Field track and did long intervals at half-marathon pace. The intervals felt easy even running slightly too fast, which I tend to do for some reason whenever I run strength intervals on the track.
Warmup: 2mi easy road.
Drills: High knees, butt kicks, high skips, bounds, sideways jumping jacks, 3 strides.
Intervals: Two 3mi intervals at 5:50 pace with 1 mi. of easy running after both repeats.
Cooldown: 2mi easy road.
The purpose of strength intervals is to increase my ability to run longer distances at a relatively high speed. I've been running these longer intervals in order to prepare for a 2hr race on May 25th.
Total Miles: 12.5mi
Weekly So Far: 12.5mi
