Back to my "run less, run faster" workouts. I've decided to not omit any runs or shorten the 18 week plan. I picked a more challenging 5K time which will make my runs faster. This track run was a challenge.
10 min warm up at 9:30 pace
12 x 400 meter with 90 sec RI
I ran all the repeats at 7:25 pace with the 1st 6 RI's at 8:30
I couldn't keep up the fast recovery pace so I kept the repeats at 7:25 but slowed the RI to 9:30 for the last 6.
10 min cool down (I had to walk this)
Total miles just shy of 7.
With 2 more repeats to go I felt a wave of nausea come over me and a feeling that I couldn't go any further. I dug deep mentally & physically and pushed through it. I had to talk my shoulders down away from my ears and tell myself I could finish. I may decide to back down my goal pace. I based this work out on a 24 min 5K (my last plan I used the 26 min 5K). I'm going to run my tempo run this Thursday & then decide.
wave of nausea? I would of puked for sure! You are one speedy mama.
