6.5mi - A cool morning with a sunrise that makes people feel they are late for work. And a timed mile interval, which I hadn't done in months. I thought I was slowing, I haven't run with any person or grop consistently at the track so that lack of "competition" leads me to think I … Continue reading Who knew?
Tag: mile for time
4mi. I told Erica, who is enjoying a brief low week of training, that this may be the last time I miss the after-workout cooldown. John graduates from high school next week and I'll have the extra time to stay and jog around the track. Paul joked about how many girls showed up at the … Continue reading Get back 2 it.
4mi. "...at the nursing home!" says Paul as he assigns us our second timed mile for the morning. We don't get "miles for time" except for about each five or six weeks. But today, getting a mile interval so early in the workout made many of us think that we'd be trying to better the … Continue reading We do this workout all the time…
4 mi. When Paul said Tuesday's workout at the bridge was a "break" in the weather, I disagreed. This morning was the break. A breezeless full "harvest moon" morning at Reback Field. Lanae came back for her first workout since July before Switzerland. It was cooler but everyone knew it would feel sticky and warm … Continue reading Cooler, yes.
5mi. So when we get more people to show up at track, we get that sneaky surprise of a mile-for-time? I haven't been a regular prior to IM Zurich, so I didn't know when the last mile dash was. I shouldn't complain, it is a fantastic measuring stick as to how you're progressing. Some do … Continue reading Sneaky, but maybe not.
4 mi. Track with a faster group of guys than usual. Only one gal came to run, Randi. I ran the warmup with Seth Kaufman, discussing his entry to sprint triathlons and summer race dates we both had planned. We both agreed - the warmup jog mile doesn't really seem to warm you up for … Continue reading I dare you to think it…
5mi run/21 mi ride They say the more adverse the conditions get, the better the workout. I believe! Hurricane Sandy is heading up the coast from Miami, it won't directly hit us but it will bring wind and rain through Saturday afternoon. Today's track workout was a smattering of shorter distances topping out at 800m … Continue reading Rolling heavy in the big winds
5mi. I tried to get Lanae and Lilia to ride after the track today, both came close but neither came through. The roads were wet, so it probably worked out for the best. Paul was back from Las Vegas and the Hi Vie race, he led the workout. With an interesting 400m cooldown after one … Continue reading The mile threat
5 mi. To make the few that are heading to St. Anthony's do a mile for time was odd, but I'm not one of those. We ran some 400s first, then the mile, followed by more 400s. My mile was 6;11, Walter zipped by on lap 3 and was strong in a 6:03 finish estimated. … Continue reading Pre St. Anthony’s mile
5mi. We don't get a mile for time assigned often, those are every 5-6 weeks apart. We even less get to do two timed miles in the same workout - that was today. We started with innocent 200m intervals, then a mile at what Paul billed as 80%. I ran with Tom Matese for a … Continue reading The double mile day.
