Ran mile repeats last night at zilker. First threshold effort in months. Legs have been tired for a few miles of warm up each day- calves are sore. L knee is tight. Seem to loosen up after 10 minutes or so however. Anyway, got over there with Jorge and did drills (also for the first time in months), then took off. I wanted to run conservatively on these, because I have been reading a number of sources that talk about long intervals being useful for Lactate threshold, not VO2 max work.
Since I have been sluggish lately, I wanted to start at 6:45 and then just work down to 6:20-6:30 for 4 repeats. Oops.
splits were consistent but a bit brisk for a lactate threshold workout and averaged 6:15 with a 2 minute recovery.
I didn't have a HRM on so don't know where I was on the scale, but I was working hard. Jorge
ran along next to me like he was out for a jog. Bastard.
