Keep Calm and Run On

Recovery run. We ran Harvest Loop and I added 2 miles when we got back. My legs are tired from last week. 

Today was rough and I need to write it down so I can move on. We got 2 miles warm up then the workout was 5 laps at 3K pace, 3 laps mile pace, and 2 laps... all out. We had lots of rest between which was nice but the workout took a really long time for just 2 miles. The first one I ran 5:09. Was supposed to be 5:05-5:08. I hit lap 4 and my body was just drained. My legs and arms were so tired. The next one, I got gapped by everyone (they went out fast and I didn't follow) and was way behind and stuggling to focus. I was 3:03. The last one I ran 1:53 and finished towards the back. I was beat. I had a hard time focusing today and believing I can run fast. I have a hard time when we do short, fast because I don't run that fast pace.... ever. I was really frustrated. 

Finished to 9 in the morning and did 4 later. Miles are a little lower this week. Hopefully that will help me be ready for Thursday track workout. 

Hobo run with a mile added on the treadmill. My legs and body are tired and sore. Did norma tec and ice bath. 

The track was clear of snow and it was warm enough we got to run on the outdoor track! 2 mile warm up then we ran a 1600 at 35-45 pacing. The workout was to alternate 200's in the  1600 between 35 and 45 seconds. Come through at 5:20 then all out 200 to finish. It was really hard to pace and we put milers in the front to pace. We nailed the 35 every time but hit more 46-47 on the off which coach was fine with. I ran a 32 last all out. My legs didn't feel amazing but the 35's didn't feel too hard and I felt in control and a lot better than Tuesday. Coach only had us do 1 because we all looked tired and some girls couldn't finish. I ran 6.5 cool down to get to 10. 

The afternoon was cold, windy and hailing. I opted for the treadmill and had a good run. Ran 5.5. 

7 mile Provo River to Center streeet then I finished on the treadmill. Feeling better today and able to run a little quicker on recovery days since my miles are lower. 

Long run. It was nice to do 13 and I didn't finish feeling completely drained like after 15.
