8 mile progression run. 1 mile cool down. 4x200. .5 mile cool down. Legs & light core.
Well. This was my first progression run ever and it was.. okay. I was fine for the first 5 miles, then during the last 3 I started to feel yucky and didn't do so hot. My splits were as follows: 9:19, 8:04, 7:46, 7:34, 7:30, 7:34, 7:35, 7:48. So I "progressed" for the first 5, then kinda hovered around that mid-7:30 pace for the next two, then the last mile was garbage. When I started feeling icky, I decided to make it my main goal to just not settle & focus on pushing. I did okay with that until that last mile, then it all went to pot. The 200s were okay though. Our target pace was :36 and we hit :37, :36, :36, :34. My calves are feeling far better than yesterday, though not quite tip-top yet. Tomorrow I'm pretty sure it's just a recovery run so that'll be good for me.
