...of asking Max a question about a potential workout. After coming in about 45 minutes short of my 4 hour ride yesterday and lots of family stuff on the schedule today, I asked Max what I could do to get in a real solid weekend. He told me to hit the track and do 5x1 mile repeats all out on eight minutes rest.
So I went up to Bloomfield High and hit the track. I did this workout last August after missing a couple workouts because of a wedding so I kinda knew what to expect. The first mile was a bitch, so was the second, third, fourth and fifth. They all sucked really bad. Even the first 1:30 of the rest time sucked a little. My legs and arms felt like cement by lap two of every mile and I was breathing so hard I was weezing. Speed work sucks, it's a different kind of pain.
Here's how it went:
Mile 1 - 6:04
Mile 2 - 6:02
Mile 3 - 6:12
Mile 4 - 6:06
Mile 5 - 6:10
Avg HR: 164 for nearly every repeat
