I expected today to be a long run day, but it turned out to be intervals...and a lot of them. Luckily I love intervals (no sarcasm at all, I really do love them.) We started out w/8*400m @ 5k pace my splits were (1:12, 1:13, 1:11, 1:14, 1:15, 1:13, 1:15, 1:05) The last one hurt because my asthma started to kick in and I was struggling to breath, but still ended up doing pretty well. Then we went and did 10*hill sprints (50m) w/bands exercises. Afterwards we finished with 6*100m (probably 150m) sprints. Great workout a lot of fun. Although today I got a little frustrated with my team, because they were all keeping right with me even though I was pushing hard, and I'm thinking then WHY on earth are they racing 2 minutes slower. I shouldn't get frustrated, but I just know they are all so much better than they race. If only they could realize that. We started with a 1.5 mile warmup and a 1.5 mile cooldown. Also I did a 1.5 mile warmup before practice started to get my legs moving.
