AM: Springside Track - 13.75 miles, averaged 7:15. HR 155.

TRACK WORKOUT

4 x 2400 (400-500 jogs) + 1600 with a little pepper on top. 500 jogs for 1 and 2, 400 jog for 3, and 600 job before the 1600. Averaged 8:37 or 5:47 pace for the 2400s. The upper end of half marathon goal pace.

8:38.6, 8:36.9, 8:38.6, 8:36.8, 5:34.5

I did not want to get out of bed today. I had planned on 15 x 1000 a few weeks ago, but wanted some longer intervals so I changed things around thinking 3 x 2 miles, then 5 x 1.5, or mile repeats but decided on 4 x 2400 with some shorter intervals if I was feeling good. I decided I didn't like the pace on my 2400s and wanted another solid 1600 so I dropped that 1600 in there, splitting something like 2:49/2:45.5.

Felt decent overall but not much bounce in my step. Planned on a few shorter intervals but I already wasted half the morning so I headed home.

Makes me so happy to see this 4 x 2400! I'm not sure you should be allowed to add to it like that, but your 1600 was so good that I will approve it. Nice work!

I forgot this was a SlowJoe staple. I am pretty sure this is the first time I have ever done them. I think I was a bit too slow on them. 4 laps is much easier to work with than 6 and knowing you have a mile repeat left after 800 meters is hard to gauge the effort on.

I'm glad you approve of the cheeky 'peat I tacked on. I've been added just a little bit more to my typical sessions, hoping it will pay off.
