Today’s Workout – Cruise Intervals
Total Mileage: 6.02 miles
Total Time: 00:54:01
Average Pace: 8:58 min/pace
Today I got back to speed work. After a great easy evening run with the husband Wednesday and a slow 2 miles to keep my legs moving yesterday, it was now time to get back to business. This treadmill workout consisted of 1/2 mile warm up, 3 x 1 mile repeats (8:00 min/pace – marathon pace with the last mile at 7:47), 1/2 mile jog in between each, and then 1 mile cool down.
The workout was tough but doable. I know I have quite a ways to go, but it made me feel better this week completing some pretty tough workouts. I have a rest day scheduled for tomorrow and then two longer runs – quite similar to last week. Pray the rain holds off Saturday!
I had to take today off work to get some more blood work ran. I think this is the final stop and then HOPEFULLY I will finally get some answers so I can get my energy levels under control. I am a little nervous to find the results out but I am just hoping it will give me some answers.
Tonight the husband and I will be taking it easy and relaxing. It is FINALLY supposed to cool down here tomorrow and I am really look forward to a relaxing long run. <– That seems to be an oxymoron 🙂
Have a great Friday!
What are your weekend workout plans?
I have a 12 mile run tomorrow (this will be my main long run) and then another 10-11 mile slow long recovery on Sunday.
Sounds like a good workout. I hope you get the lack of energy thing under control – it’s hard enough to train for a race, not to mention doing it constantly drained. I had major insomnia when I first started running/training for a 5K and it made everything a lot more difficult. Glad I found your blog!
Thank goodness I am able to sleep! You are right though it does make training more difficult! Hopefully these tests will give me answers!
