Well the rain didn't stop yesterday so I did an easy 30 minutes on the stationary bike.
Today I had the day off so I did the 2k intervals early.
Bad news: I failed horribly. Also it was still lightly raining so I was completely soaked and uncomfortable.
Good news: I did my best and finished all 5 of them with 90 seconds rest. Also it was the most painful run of my life, which means it will have to get easier from here.
1) 4:03, 4:05 - 8:08 (on pace)
2) 4:03, 4:06 - 8:09 (on pace)
3) 4:07, 4:29 - 8: 36 (I died)
4) 4:18, 4:24 - 8:42 (no good)
5) 4:27, 4:26 - 8:53 (terrible)
According to my 4k time, I was aiming for 4:05/km or 8:10 per round. That didn't work out, but there is always next time. I wish I had an excuse but the truth is that I'm not in that great of shape right now. Good news is that I have no races planned until September so I am not that worried.
Anyway, I will take Saturday off now and do my long run on Sunday to keep as close to the schedule as possible. If you want me to do something different, just let me know.
