Run less, Run Faster

So glad to start this program. I really think it will help me with my time. We shall see!

The program is doing 3 key runs a week. No more than that! I always thought that in order for me to run well i would have to run atleast 5 days/week. So this is good. This is a 12 week program which will take my training all the way to December 28th. This is going to be a huge commitment with the holidays & all. I will do this though.

Todays run: Track repeats
10-20 min warm up
8 x 400's with a 400 rest interval 9:23 pace
10 minute cooldown

I did not really do a warm up , because I didn't have much time. I know this is terriblem but I was determined.
I'm not gonna lie the pace was a little challenging, but it was good I think I need the challenge. The first 2 or 3 sets I felt great. I did a light jog for the rest interval. For repeat 4 I was getting
a little tired but still pushing. By the time I got to repeat 5 I realized I wasn't going to be able to finish because I had to go teach my class. So I started repeat 5 and my left knee was a little achey. Not unusual for me, but not pleasant either. So after 30 secinds I stopped & walked for about a minute. I WAS NOT GIVING UP! I started back up & finished repeat 5 in 2 minutes.

TOTAL:
1 minute warm up
5 repeats @ 9:23 pace
cooldown was minimal because of class
Total time on mill was 30 minutes.

I really need to figure out how to use the mill correctly. I think Christy is going to give me a lesson tomorrow night!
