Well hard run anyways.
As I mentioned yesterday we had our last tough run of the training series last night. V02 Max 8miles with 3x1600m. Last year our times for the repeats were 7:10, 7:20 and 7:18. This year I looked up what a 5K pace should be for a 3:35 marathon and 7:06 was the big number. We ran down to the track and then started repeating ….. and we did them in 6:57, 7:03 & 6:55. So we saw a nice big improvement from last night. I think this is my favorite workout of the series.
The Dad picked us up from the track and we headed home to a disappointing Cubs game…but (and I can’t believe I am going to say this…) a great Cardinals game…go you red birds!
Alright, meeting time and work to do.
Thanks for the Go Redbirds! That means a lot coming from a Cubs fan!
only said cause they beat the brew crew
i admit. i felt guilty rooting for them. i felt so…so dirty.
Yay! Go Cards they are the best. Come on we are the current champs for a few more weeks.
Super job on the VO2 max run! I am so happy to be done with these- VO2 max runs were my least favorite, but then again, I think I said the same thing about LT runs. Enjoy the last week of the taper!
