It's been a tough week, the legs haven't been good for the last few days, and I was not really looking forward to tonight's effort on the treadmill. I knew it was going to be hard (that's how it's designed), but with the level of fatigue I've been battling, I didn't want to end up getting shot off the back.
The first block went well, I was not overly stressed, but I found myself breathing a bit harder than I would expect. Same thing during the second block. The speed was never too much for my legs, but aerobically I was a bit behind. The last set was very hard. I made it through, and could have kept it up for a bit longer, but I was very near the limit. These are the days that pay off big in a few weeks. Luckily, I get next week to rest and recover, then it's time for the last build of the season.
Run: 55 minutes, w/15 minutes @ 8.8 mph, 3 min @ 7.5 mph recovery
10 minutes @ 9.0 mph, 2 min recovery
5 minutes @ 9.2 mph
+ 4 strides
