AM: SEMI-FAILED LACTATE SHUNTS 8 SETS OF (4-1-1-3 FARTLEK)

I fell for the forecasters 100% chance of snow and planned to run at home on the tready. Turns out I should've known better than to believe those fools. I totally could've done this outside and feel it would've been easier mentally.

I hopped on the tready warmed up three miles watching Vikings, paused the show to finish on the cool down and started the workout.

Four weeks ago I did 2-1-1-3 on this treadmill. The plan was same paces and incline as then, but extending that 2 minutes to 4. I used 11.2 mph and 12 mph for the paces. The plan was 3% incline.

I struggled and had to adjust the incline along the way.

For the eight sets, the incline was 3% 3% 2% 1.5% 1% 0.5% 1.5% 1%

PM: 3.7 miles on tready to shake out the legs, avg pace 7:47/mile.

WORKOUT: 20-MINUTE TEMPO, 6 MIN REST, 18-MINUTE TEMPO, 5 MIN REST, 5X45 SECOND PICKUPS, 5X20 SECOND PICKUPS

I met Bryant, Trace, and Jason at Kent's. We warmed up 5 miles along the rail trail to Gentile and backtracking to Hill Field Rd. Trace and Jason continued an easy run, while Bryant and I started our workout. We ran 20 minutes on gradual downhill at 5:19/mile pace. 18 minutes on gradual uphill and some icy patches at 5:16/mile pace. Then I averaged 4:16/mile pace for the 45s and 3:59/mile pace for the 20s.

I felt WAY better than Wednesday! The temps were quite cold and when we picked up the pace my lips and nose went numb for a bit, but then warmed up fine. It was nice to get in some faster paces despite the cold, snow, and ice outdoors...I'm sick of fast workouts on treadmills!
