AEROBIC BUILDER: PROGRESSION We had a decent crew for a cold builder this morning. It had snowed lightly up until right when we started. My goal this morning was to do 8 miles progressing from 5:25 to 4:57 dropping four seconds per mile. Things went according to plan for the most part. The pedestrian bridge in mile five was snowy and slick so I slowed way down there. The last two miles were tough but felt good mentally to be hitting those splits. Splits: 5:26, 5:20, 5:16, 5:10, 5:24 (5:09 besides slowing on bridge), 5:05, 5:01, 4:57 I really needed a solid run like this to restore my fragile confidence after last week's sub-par workouts. 4.3 more easy miles at lunch with Dave. |
