Today wasn't the best day. It was sunny so we ran the workout on the outdoor track. I ran 3.5 warm up (it took us a while to get outside and organized) We ran 1x1200, 2x800 at 3K pace and 3x400 at mile pace. I wanted to run 78's and was awkwardly stuck just behind the mile group and in front of the 5K group. The 1200 was fine- I ran 3:53. I didn't feel great but I did it. The next 800 was 2:34 and it felt really hard. There was wind and I was mostly by myself. The next 800 was a 2:38 and I did not feel good at all. I didn't feel any sense of rhythm or pace and was so so frustrated. Coach told me I was done so I started running miles while waiting. I ran to 9 miles and felt so frustrated the whole time. After weights, I started on my usual 4 mile run but turned back early. I didn't know why until I was at the outdoor track again. I couldn't let myself not finish no matter how crappy or slow I was. (it was a big mental struggle today) So I ran 3x400 at 72, 71, 73. It wasn't fast but I did it and felt a little better. |
