#151 9/12 — 6:06, 1:30, 1:29 — this may sound strange, but I was nervous about this workout because I hadn’t run a clean mile since the mile/800m/400m/200m WOD a few months ago. That feeling may have motivated me because my fastest mile until today was 6:27 (if I’m remembering right). Next stop sub 6 mins . . .
#151 9/13 @ Banneker: 7:06, 1:39, 1:35
I am really happy with this. It’s a second faster than the mile I did in a WOD in July and I didn’t have anyone to chase (although I did have to dodge the Howard softball team who didn’t seem to want to clear a lane for me).
#151 on treadmill: 7:52; 2:01; 2:05
Super disappointed, felt really slow and had a very hard time keeping pace. 3 months off running and then BAM Murph and Nancy (both went really badly) have really hurt my running speed and endurance. Going to be a long road back.
Foul: instead of the 1′ squat I decided to try a max hold to see what I need to do for the test in January (and out of self-punishment kind of for being a shitty runner). I made it to 8:20 but I don’t think my back was straight for the last couple minutes.
@ 6pm Completed day 1 of superscribed drills and running for the week.
#152 9/14: 5.73km
I’m pretty happy with this. I ran the 5k a full minute faster than my last one–so that would be my first sub-26 5k if I had stopped there. Averaged a 5:14/km pace.
#152 on rower @ MPH: 4221m
#152 9/15 — 4.07 miles (pace for first 15 minutes was ~7:37, for last 15 minutes ~7:07). I was annoyed that I didn’t have time to squeeze this in yesterday and ran today when I was supposed to rest, but the run felt good.
