Jogging warm up/down 9:30 [2] 1.6 km (5:56 / km)
Long day at work and given fatigue / heavy legs would have bailed on the speed work session. Peer group pressure and warm sunny 76F outside prevailed. A few laps counter cw in lane 5 (so a bit more distance) plus 4x100m strides.
Stretching 7:00 [1]
Dynamic. Generally tight hips.
Drills warm up/down 8:00 [2] 0.6 km (13:20 / km)
Usual routine but no real bounce
Track intervals (Outdoor) 5:21 [3] 1.6 km (3:21 / km)
So fess up time! I wasn't bouncy after the warm up so I knew the 1200s even at T pace would be draining, especially given the strong wind down the home straight. However getting out there to do something seemed wise. In the end I settled for a Magic Mile of 16x100m with 100 jog recovery for the mental break and not having to hammer into the wind.
Given my 400/800 race focus for this coming season, this was twixt and tween a real speed and the intended V02max workout- rather focus the hard effort on the upcoming speed down ladder. Anyhow went with the flow effort wise and notched down from 21 to 19 per 100m as the legs loosened up.
I guess the moral is be flexible!
