Fartleks Continue
7 Mile Run, including 20 x 200 meters On/Off Fartlek at CBHS Track
Another positive run this morning in Webster. I had planned for today's farltek session to be run at the Kemah Bridge, sprinting 40-seconds uphill, and then jogging back down for recovery, but due to work commitments, I saved the drive and decided to repeat last week's (12 x 200 m) location on the track.
Started out tentatively, but my legs were feeling pretty good. Hit my mile warm-up in close to 7'30" and then started 5 miles of alternating 200 meters "on" with a 200 meter float/jog recovery (20 times total). I ran in Lane 5 of the track, as to minimize stress and after 10 pickups, I switched directions (anything to stay healthy). The run went well. I covered the 5 miles in a little over 30' and felt very efficient. I was hitting each 200 meter "on" section in about 40", so I am still lacking much power, but at least I was training. Only started a bit of strain towards number 20, which was promising. Had a pain-free run back to the car for my cool-down.
So, a good day overall, covering 7 miles in a little over 45' with some nice quality. Will run 4 miles very easy tonight at Memorial Park, as has become my routine before heading home..
No racing until I receive my Snickers Marathon Team uniform, so hopefully I can get more training in until it arrives. Just pressing on...
