• General: I've done this workout twice before, once doing loops in a field and once on a track with my weighted vest. My best performance that I can compare this to was 12 laps with the weighted vest back in the fall. I think I should've done a lot better on this, but that being said I've done far less conditioning work at this intensity recently compared to then.
• Nutrition: Day 12 strict.
• Body: Feeling surprisingly good
• Sleep: 9 hours
• Reflections: I did this workout with Dan and his dad today. The only problem with run intervals in my training is I'm never consistent with them because I dread doing them. It helps when I have people with me but when I can't train them with others I need to suck it up and go do it. I'm looking to get a run in probably Wednesday morning to further work on the area of running I want to improve the most, which is the pace I can push comfortably at for a long time. My plan to improve this while maintaining strength is to continue doing lots of intervals and hit a 5-8 mile run every so often pushing at a harder pace than I'm used to.
