My first training day starts on Sunday, so my long runs will fall on Saturday (minor detail).
I. Dominique. Commit.
For the first time ever, I'm committing to a program 100% (I'm hopeful). I've used all kinds of training tools before, but I would tweak them to no end. Long runs are a staple, so I would always stick with them, no matter what. However, weekday runs were free game and cross training was hit or miss, depending on the week. This time around, I'm going to stick with the plan.
Terrible at Math
I decided to go with the Hal Higdon Intermediate Program because it includes speedwork.
Am I doing this right? <-----see picture below. Since I'm terrible at math, I feel like I'm going to mess this up. Instead of running a total of 1.25 miles (in speedwork), I might accidentally run 10 miles. I'm sure I'd die before reaching 10 miles, but you get the point. This workout is scheduled for Tuesday morning. Now, I can dwell on it from now until then, yay!
The Workout: 5x400 at 5k Pace
The post-it says 5x100, see I'm already messing up and I haven't even started. Dang it!
Breakdown for people who don't really "get" speedwork (ME!):
Warm up 2 miles
.25 run at 5k pace
Recover (jog) for about .11
Repeat run/recover 4 times
complete at 4 miles
