Run Intervals

4x5 Min Run intervals w/ 3 minute recovery between rounds. Done on Westborough High School track for a total of 12.5 laps (6:24 miles) (PR)


COMMENTS
  • 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.
