Well that was intense. Background to the 2 runs. 5.5 hours of sleep kinda dehydrated and fried during the day today by the sun. No nap😛
A.M. The team attempted a pace run. I was supposed to take the top group of guys out at 5:45 pace (5k pace or so for them) It really wasn't supposed to be fast, but Cole took it out at 5:30 pace and Luke kept the pace through about a mile and a bit. Coach told me I could kick it in at the mile so I went for it. Dropped a 2:20ish I think for the last half mile. 7:44 for the 1.46 course (5:18 pace). Luke was a 7:52. We had an incredible number of guys under 8:30.
P.M. Coach said I could do a 3 mile tempo on the afternoon if I was feeling up to it. I thought I was though my body had a hard time getting used to the pace. It was on the usual course and the paces for the miles were 6:17, 5:55 and hi 5:40's respectively. Didn't finish the full 3 because I was hurting too much at the end and figured a nasty kick would do more harm then good especially since it's only week 4.
Overall a solid training day. Feet just ached a little while running. No pain before or after. Dropped a 12 second 100 at the end of the cool down in the morning cuz me n Luke were screwing around.
