First speed workout since Nov 10th! Ack, has it really been that long? Maybe it hasn't it is April 1st so you can't believe anything today, not even your own blog. Are blogs even real?

Anyway, the workout, if it took place at all, was 4 by 800 with 90 seconds rest followed by 5mins of chilling then 4 by 400 with 90 seconds rest then 4 rhino hills. My primary goal for this workout was to just go through the motions and not worry about times. I think it was successful, unless there were some owl creek shenanigans or this whole post is a lie that I made up to confuse a future version of myself.

On the 400s and 800s I alternated between downhill and uphill, if I did them at all.

Splits (or random numbers I just pulled from nowhere)

2:42.9, 2:54.8, 2:40.6, 2:48.8

75.3, 75.6, 71.6, 77.3

35.5, 35.3, 34.9, 36.1

4.5 mile tempo in 27:28 (the last one ever????). Not a great time, but it compares favorably to my first post-publix tempo from last year (27:50).

4 by mile on the beltline. Made difficult by swirling winds, but it was a good temp (50).

5:35, 5:54, 5:34, 5:44 (down, up, down up)

avg = 5:42 is 8 secs slower than the last time I did this (sep 1st), but 8 seconds faster than at this point last year. So despite focusing on endurance all winter, I'm decidedly ahead of last spring, speed wise.

4 by rhino hill in 37.2, 36.2, 36.3, 34.3.

AM 5.9

PM 5.9 w/ 4.5 tempo run. I felt really bad during the workout, very tired (sleepy tired) and sore. My calves felt like bricks at the start, then I swallowed a bug about 3 minutes in.

8 by 400 avg of 73.7 my second best average ever. Weird that I'm doing so well in short speed workouts but my longer workouts have been mediocre. I just spent like 3 months on marathon training.

Followed up with 4 rhino hills average of 36.0 is not great, but that was primarily due to the first one being atrocious (38.3), the other 3 were fine.

"Sat around and did nothing afterwards because I was so tired" Saturday

1 mile warmup

2.43 miles in 13:34 (5:35 pace) down the beltline. Splits of 5:18 on Freedom and 8:16 on Beltline.

Using the splits I calculated from my wave tempo. My 5:18 was 5:47 pace and 5:42 adjusted. I then split 11:22 at 2.02 miles (5:38 pace/5:39 adjusted). My split was 6:04 for 1.1 miles (5:31 pace/ 5:37 adj). Finally did the last .41 miles in 2:12 (5:22 pace). I'm not sure on the adjustment for this section.

This was a really good rep and it felt smooth and unforced. However, when I was done I felt hot and nauseous. After about 7 mins of jogging I made it to the 2 mile start.

Two miles on the beltline in 12:10 (6:05 pace/5:47 adjusted). Splits of 5:56 and 6:14 which are pretty even in terms of adjusted pace. This rep was not nearly as good.

Another 5 mins of jogging recovery and then 1 mile down the beltline in 5:16.

Then it took 8:20 to jog to the rhino hill. Did 4 rhino hills in 37.8, 34.5, 34.6, 33.9.

Ran back home and saw Allie starting her run, so I ran an extended cooldown with her.
