We did a mile warmup on the turf then got started on the workout! The original plan was to do a 4 mile progression run, starting at 6:00, then dropping 10 seconds every mile, the last one being 5:30. On the watch my splits were 5:50, 5:49, 5:33, and 5:18. The first couple miles were pretty easy, like we were talking a little the first bit. I still felt strong the last two miles, but the last mile was fast. Thom and Ryan picked it up quite a bit and I let them go. I shouldn't have let them go, but I did and I still finished faster than planned. I was caught up in watching my watch and trying to stay on pace, which was good, but I feel like we should've stayed as a group. I'm not saying it's their fault, I needed to step it up a little bit. I have mixed feelings about how it went today, but I'm for sure happy that I was able to hit the splits I hit on legs that are still pretty tired. You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you are just groggy and unresponsive? That's how my legs have felt, I think the speed today woke them up a little bit though, which is good. Shout out to Connor because he's been visiting a lot of colleges recently, it's super cool to see him do the things he's doing this season, as well as all the other guys on the team, we've all put in work and it's time to get a return on our payment at NXR. |
