plan is no running for a week or more. then a base period w/ mostly easy running of increasing mileage w lots of fun stuff like climbing and orienteering! thrown in for good measure. Happy new years!
13:50 2 mile. ok, it was a 'state record', hopefully somebody will break it next year. 50 seconds slower than Mike Toolens 64 yr old time 5? yr back. Same thing happened same time last year, my times started tailing off dramatically - must be a seasonal thing. Well, the SEASON IS OVER.
How can a sports watch keep losing significant chunks of time? I keep re-setting it, but then it was 4 minutes slow at race start, and I came up to the start line out of breath from my last warmup interval - 400 @ tempo, when I had been expecting 5 minutes rest. I ran in the Takumi's - very light but not a good match on asphalt w my stride. Worth a try anyway.
track. 4 x 100 strides.
3 x (960 meters tempo + 200rep) w 2R
4:00 ok, 37 (fastest 200 I've done in a while, so good to see)
1:50 -pulled out after 1st lap because it seemed too slow, but the next try was the same so that time i just kept going, and actually I was in error, these were supposed to be TEMPO and the pace was good tempo.
