Tuesday Night Speedwork

Workout: 2 mile warm-up, 4x1 LT, 1 mile cool down

Oh how I dislike speedwork! Once this marathon is over I’m looking forward to not having to do speedwork for a while. I’ll probably choose a nice half marathon somewhere to train for and eliminate all the speedwork. Just add a bunch of miles and more strength training.

Having said that though tonight’s speedwork went reasonably well. The last LT was a bit of a struggle but I got it in. Arg!

Here were my splits…

Warm-up: 2miles @ 8:57
1st LT: 1mile @ 7:53
Break .15mile @ 8:57
2nd LT: 1mile @ 7:53
Break .15mile @ 8:57
3rd LT: 1mile @ 7:53
Break .20 mile @ 8:57
4th LT: 1mile @ 7:53

6.50 miles/53:53/avg 8:17
