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
