Met at Sugarhouse park for a set of 4x1 mile with 2:30 recovery. Based on how I felt Tuesday, I felt like this set would go well, but in the first rep I was feeling flat. I tried to run comfortable and relax, but I just not able to get going. 5:40. Mile 2 is back the opposite of mile 1 and has a net uphill gain, again I struggled, but moved a little better. 5:40. The pace on mile 3 was much faster and I hung on as best I could, I was tired climbing the little hill on the back side of the park, but powered through it 5:25. I just wanted to survive the fourth and went into cruise mode, I pushed hard in the end to close the gap and came through in 5:40 again. Overall, I was pleased with the set and I was not trashed in the end, I just struggled to get any momentum. The third mile offered a glimmer of hope and shows some sign of improvement. |
