Workout

First of five 10k workouts that will progressively tougher leading up to US masters 10k champs April 29th.

This week the plan called for 6-8x800 @ goal 10-k pace.  Figured if I want to be top three in race I've got to average sub 5:20 pace, so goal today was 5:12-5:128 pace. 

Did them on the road.  Ended up doing 9xhalf mile 2:34-2:37.  Felt easy as it should have.  Took about 80-90 seconds rest between.  Quicker 29 second interval at end to get legs turning.

1.6 warmup, 1.75 cooldown.

Next week the plan call for 1200s, but I'll probably skip that and go directly to 4x mile which is scheduled week after.

Then it's 3x2k the next week.

3x3k the week after that.

And final week if I skip 1200s I plan on doing 3 miles at goal pace,  rest, 80 seconds hard, rest, 2 miles goal pace, rest, 70 seconds hard, rest, 1 mile goal pace, rest, 60 seconds hard.  If I can keep all these workouts under 5:20 pace, I'll be ready end of April.
