Back to the Track

Today was my first time back on the track in months. Wasn't too bad of a workout, just 20min warmup, 4 x (1000m @ 3:25 (5:29 mile pace), 3 min ez recovery jog), 20min warm-down (10 miles total). After Monday's tough workout, my Piriformis was extremely upset with me yesterday and it let me know it.  So, even though I just did a 5.25 mile ez jog, it still wasn't totally recovered today. It was a little better on this morning's 3.5 mile run, but I was definitely worried about it all day. Not knowing if it would cooperate for tonight's workout. Luckily for me it did. The intervals went well with me logging 3:24, 3:16, 3:25, 3:24 respectively.

The next two days will be easy days involving tons of stretching and foam rolling. The weekend will actually be pretty easy too as I get ready to do my first run-specific race since Rome back in March. If you're training too, I hope it's going well. I'm sure you'll welcome the start of September tomorrow (and hopefully cooler temperatures) as much as I will. :)
