AM: Track workout. Light workout given my high intensity workouts scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. No watch, just a track and 5k race pace speeding up as I went along to strider speed to finish the last 3. Workout was: 3x200, 600, 500, 400, 300, 200, 100, 100 with 100-200m jog in between each item. The last three items I did at strider pace, not sprinting. Pace was at 5:10-5:15 for the first item according to those running near me, and then I just went by feel trying to mimic it.
So, today was different. Woke up at 3:30am and couldn't sleep, and decided to join RunVie for their 5:30am Tuesday track run which I've never been to. I got there and only recognized 3 people and only really knew 1 of them and no one at my pace, so that was a tough start. At the end of the workout, I felt as if I could do more and faster, which was what I wanted to feel after, but I'm very surprisingly feeling quite sore in my feet/achilles, which is usually a bad sign for me. The plan is still to do both 5ks this weekend, but I suppose my body dictates what actually happens. I'll try a shakeout later today likely and/or take a day off.
PM: 5.5 miles in JC park. Still felt it, but hopefully this helped. |
