Workouts this week:
Tuesday – 5 x 1000 (400 RI)
Done. I changed the speed (7.1, 7.2, and 7.3) after each set. I felt great after each one!
Thursday – 3 miles easy, 3 miles @ short tempo, 1 mile easy
Did not run.
Saturday – 8 miles at HMP, 10 minutes walking
I only ran 2.67. I felt like a big loser. I woke up late because I was out with friends the night before. I did not have time to run before my doctor appointment at 12:30 so I decided to go afterwards. Ugh! At the gym I felt horrible. I was dizzy and nauseous. I decided to call it a day and go home. My friends told me that maybe I was dehydrated from the sangrias the night before. I made a rookie mistake. That morning I had coffee with my breakfast and did not drink water at all. Lesson learned but I should have known better.
Next week’s speed workouts are:
2 x 1200 (2 min RI)
2 x 800 (2 min RI)
This is how I translated it: run 1.5 miles, recover for 2 minutes, run 1 mile, recover for 2 minutes. Am I right? Total ran this week was 13.02.
Just Keep Running!
Sorry you got dehydrated and didn't feel good on your run. Nice job on the Tuesday intervals!I think that you run 0.75 miles, recover for 2 minutes, run another 0.75 miles, recover for 2 minutes, then run 0.5 miles, recover for 2 minutes, and then another 0.5 miles.
Thanks Elizabeth! I had to laugh at myself because your explanation made more sense. Thanks again.
