Forget the Crazy Ladder... this shit was Insane!
4x 400 @ 77/76/75's
2x 800 @ 77/78's
1x 1600 @ 5:10 (77/78)
2x 800 @ 77/78's
4x 400 @ 73, 72, 71, 70
75 sec rest, except for 2 min before/after the mile.
= 5 miles of WOWWZA speed!!
Monster, Ream, and I plowed through the thing. Jason did most of the pacing, since I forgot my stupid watch (who forgets their watch for the track??)... Michael kept me rolling by pushing from behind. I had it easy by just staying in the middle of the pack.
The fact that we ran this in the middle of our peak week speaks volumes. Everyone's tired. Everyone's sore. Everyone's motivation is slipping... each day feels like we're hanging on by a thread with our training.... our bodies want rest and recovery... I've been waking up in the morning thinking that I'm one run and a crutch away from a damn telethon...
But together we run stronger than alone. And together, we made it through this bitch of a workout, and got faster the further we progressed.
Runs like last night's are a testament to running with a group or training partners. There is no way I would've pushed as hard as I did on my own.
Thanks for your help guys!!
