And tonight I learned how to just hang on. Although the pace was a bit down from previous workouts, the length of the effort was the highest thus far. One set, forty minutes. Luckily, even Dr. Daniels knows this can be tough, so there is an adjustment to T-pace for the workout. I got an extra 13 seconds per mile, or from 9.3 mph to 9.0. After warm-up, I moved the pace up, and just tried to find a groove.
I was never in real trouble, so that's a very good sign. The last ten minutes or so, I knew I was doing some work, but I could have handled bumping up the pace, if that were part of the program. Noticing the progression of my breathing was interesting, as I went from 4-4, to 3-3, to 3-2 as I was finishing up. It wasn't the 2-2 race effort, so I had some left in the tank. Things continue to progress, and are looking good for Disney.
Due to really crappy weather, no work run today.
Run: 60 minutes, w/40 minutes @ 9.0 mph
