INTERVALS: 7x2,000 METERS

Ken, Ben, and I met at Smiths and warmed up three miles to the OHS track including 4x100 strides. We met Denver and Moss at the track. My plan was 7-8 reps of 2,000 meters at the same pace as I did 1,000 reps last month (4:58/mile).

Overall the workout went quite well. It got a bit miserable when it was rainy and windy, but the rain let up on the last few reps and it was nice. I took 3:00 rest, one of which was walking and two jogging.

Splits: 6:09, 6:09, 6:10, 6:12, 6:11, 6:12, 6:08 for a 6:10 avg or 4:56/mile.

I felt pretty controlled throughout the workout.

AM: 11.1 miles on the trails with Bret at a pretty moderate pace (for trails), avg pace 7:45/mile. I broke in a new pair of trail shoes for the first 4.5 miles and then switched into my Salomon's.

Lunchtime: I wanted to get a low-fuel, somewhat-fatigued-state workout in. So, all I ate after the morning run was a small egg/sausage burrito and a chocolate milk. Then I had a Honeystinger waffle right before the workout. I warmed up two miles and then attempted 2x4 mile fartleks alternating half miles at 5:00/5:30 pace. The first four went well, but I was pretty tired at the end of it. I took half mile jog rest and started the second set and after a mile I pulled the plug. I was pretty dang exhausted and didn't want to dig too deep of a hole. I actually tried one more time to start back up, but again just didn't have it. So I jogged the rest of the way. Total mileage was 12 miles, avg pace 6:13/mile.

Fartlek: 2:42/2:27 2:45/2:26 2:40/2:27 2:38/2:29 (I was fast on every split, probably part of the reason I couldn't finish the workout), rest, then 2:43/2:30 stopped, tried one more time 2:37, and called it for good.
