I moved my Threshold pace workout to Monday this week in hopes of conducting it on fresh legs. I also did it on the treadmill to get myself out of the heat. The plan was for 2.25 miles at T pace + 3-4 minutes jogging + 1.5 miles T pace + 3-4 minutes jogging + 0.75 miles T pace.
I warmed up with a mile at easy pace and then:
2 miles at 6:48
4 minutes walking
1 mile at 6:48
4 minutes walking
0.75 miles at 6:48 pace
4 minutes walking
I finished with a cooldown to total 7 miles. It wasn’t great, but it’s been a long time since I’ve gotten 2 miles straight at T pace, so I’m going to take it as a confidence builder.
Oh I like this workout. Sounds like something I would do, on accident. I’ll have to keep this in mind!
I’m pretty sure I can do the 2 miles at 6:48, but then another one after that and another? But it sounds like a good workout to do, great job!
Wow! I can see what your recovery training has done! (ha ha!). Those are some smokin’ times – especially the two mile theshold run. Wow.
Looks like a good workout to me. I’ve also been having headaches, which I’m blaming on electrolyte imbalance because of all the sweating.
nice job!! sounds like the fresh legs helped 🙂
way to get yourself on the board! sounds much much better than the previous attempts and now you know you are capable of it for next time.
brian – 1, threshold – 8 (or so) 😉
Great work brother! How do you like the tread? I have not done any speed work on a tread yet but in a few months may have to when the weather gets cold here
