Tonight was the last time I have to do an I-pace run for a few months. This is the last week of this build block, then I'll go back to maintenance work for running for a while, before picking things up again in July. Still, this is a tough workout to get motivated for. It's never easy, so there's always some nerves building up to when I turn the treadmill on.
But things went really well tonight. I was able to groove the pace early on, and although I was working, I was never really struggling. During the last minute of the second five-minute interval my breathing had collapsed to a 3-2 or 2-2 pace, but I was able to recover and run a 3-3 all through the last interval. I'm getting stronger, in the legs and in the lungs. I'm still very interested in seeing how my 10k plays out in 12 days.
Run: 2.5 miles, ez
Run: 48 min, w/2x(5 minutes @ 9.9 mph, 3 minutes @ 7.3 mph, 3 minutes @ 9.9 mph, 3 minutes @ 7.3 mph)
