1.5-MILE REPEATS
I met Ken this morning at the Dee and we warmed up over to the Tempo Loop. I felt awful on the warmup and very lethargic. I wasn't sure how well the workout would go. The plan was 4x1.5 miles at 7:34-7:35 (or 5:03 pace). In Feb, I did 4x1 mile at this pace so the goal was to lengthen the interval at the same pace.
The first rep I felt like my vision was blurry and like I may pass out in the first 1/3 mile. I said a quick prayer and kept on it. Eventually I felt a bit better and by the end of the rep I felt pretty good. The second and third reps felt relatively easy and then the last rep was a tough one.
Splits: 7:32, 7:32, 7:30, 7:28 with 3:00 jogs for rest in between.
I'm really happy with this workout, especially considering how terrible I felt on the warmup and the start of the first rep. The fitness is surely coming around. This has been my best week since the comeback began.
