Monday, March 7, 2011 -
AM - 8 miles @ 53:45 (6:44 pace). Hip felt better, but bothered me a little and explains the 6:44 pace. Was able to run a couple of miles under 6:20 pace.
PM - 4 miles @ 6: 30. 1 mile on stationary bike and 3 miles on treadmill @ 6:27 mile pace. Hip bothered me more for the afternoon session.
Tuesday, March 8, 2011 -
AM - 8 miles @ 6:10 mile pace (49:00). I felt great overall for this run. My hip wasn't 100% but it was definitely in the 90%+ range. My first mile was at 7:00, but I warmed up from there and average 6:04 mile pace for the final 7 miles. Total run was 49:03.
PM - (In the Pool)
15 minute aqua-jog warm up w/ 5 x 20 second bursts (striders)
Workout - 8 x 2:30 @ 70 second effort pace. This workout simulates 800m intervals on the track. Basically for a shorter interval workout like this in the pool I go as hard as I can for the 2:30 on don't worry too much about the pace I am trying to simulate. I focus on my leg turnover and how hard I am breathing.
15 minute aqua-jog cool down.
