Hi Coach!
Today is Thursday and I was able to do my 3x2000's. My time as follows:
1 - 9 mins 36 secs
2 - 10 mins 2 secs
3 - 11 mins 3 secs
I came off the first set really strong really fresh. I was surprised at my first 400 when I clocked in at about 1:36. I felt my legs has developed from the training and we are reaping what we have sown so far. Also Note: I discovered the other day that if I shortened my stride I was more comfortable. I noted I may have been overstriding the past months which may have led to my tiredness in the latter part of my runs. The shorter stride did not seem affect the potential to do good time with the 9:36 I got in the first lap.
I adjusted my pace at the second set. I was aware I was slow and was on catch up after each lap. I concentrated hard to hold my pace but could not reach the target 9:55. Darn it.
In the third set I felt the fatigue. But I also felt the slower pace was mental and I felt I could do better.
Total of the three 2000s is not to bad ain't it coach? BTW rest interval was 2 minutes. I did not hydrate in the rest intervals.
Cheers!
