Hey! It was nice having to speed work today although it was extremely hot and humid!
Total training time 1:25.03 for 10.28mi
Warm-up @ 22:48 (2.75mi)
1- 1.17mi @ 6:50 average in 8:00 w/ 2:00 recovery
2- 1.13mi @ 7:04 average
3- 1.13mi @ 7:06 average*sip water
4- 1.12mi @ 7:10 average (started at 7:17 and worked hard to come down)--it was HARD!!!
5- .78mi @ started 7:38, quit, started again, quit again...it was too hot felt dizzy, so i decided to walk for a while, had some water and something sweet and went for a 1mile cool-down
I hate the fact that i quit, but the weather was too extreme. Anyways, in general I feel fitter and stronger. I'm @ 158 pounds. Bike's almost ready so I'll soon be getting slimmer.
Regarding next week's 4K TT...i'm supposed to do this July 19th, but the day before is my runner's club 5K fun run. I'm supposed to repeat today's practice next Friday. Should I do this practice again on Thursday and run the 5K Saturday or should I stick to the program instead?
Please advice. Another thing...if i run the 5K should i go all out as a TT or maybe go all out for 4K and see what happends in the last Km?
Thanks!
Best regards,
