I barely ran at all this summer and as a result have lost a lot of speed. So I downloaded a training program from RunnersWorld.com which has me doing some speed work. Today was my first such speed session. As part of an overall 5 mile run, I was to include 3 1/2 mile runs in 4:06, separated by 1/4 mile recovery jog. I did it on a treadmill just to be safe.
It was brutal. All I had to do was run for 4 minutes and 6 freaking seconds. That's it. How hard can that be right? But it was. I was really huffing and puffing my way through each 1/2 mile. But I got it done.
That's it for today.
