Today was a workout like I have never done before. We did a lap warm up at Sugarhouse Park then ran laps around while doing 30 sets of 1 minute on, 1 minutes off. That is a long fartlek! It was nice that each one was short but it felt like an eternity because there were so many reps. I felt similar to how I felt in the 10K. Start feeling really good, two miles in your legs are getting heavy, 4 miles in your body is exhausted but you've come this far you have to finish! I ended up running 8.75 miles and averaged 6:57 pace for the hour. The 2 mile cool down was rough and my legs are exhausted.
PM I ran 6 more.
