10'18 Warm-up

Tried to do 4x1 k, but apparently the middle school track is bigger than it's supposed to be, so I'm probably not using it again. Plus it's made of concrete, cement, not sure, still working on understanding the difference. Instead of posting how long it took me to run every 1.07 k, because that is very unrelatable, I'll put the pace per k for every interval.

4x(sort of)1k
3'41, 97 second rest
3'48, 90 second rest
3'56, 110 second rest (I didn't notice at what time I finished so I just tried guessing, which doesn't work)
3'57, 113 second cooldown

Transition into hills-

C • Concrete v cement 2

6xHills

Very vague, I know. I climbed about 6-8 meters on every climb. If that's helpful, good!

16.5, 50m
16.5, 60m
16.9, 60m
16.7, 50m
16.6, 50m
18.5, 60m

I have a bigger hill in mind, I just didn't have the state of mind to use it.

It turns out I didn't have soccer today, which is unfortunate because we noticed about halfway there. I didn't see the benefits of doing a long run or endurance workouts because I have one scheduled for Saturday and another for Tuesday, and with dwindling time I didn't fancy a long run in the dark. I settled for a quick sprint workout instead, in terms of running benefits it would be on the same page as a night of soccer.

5x2?? meters, fast pace.
44.3 seconds, 250 meters, 2'57 pace
35.0 seconds, 200 meters, 2'58 pace
40.0 seconds, 240 meters, 2'48 pace
40.3 seconds, 240 meters, 2'45 pace
40.8 seconds, 240 meters, 2'48 pace

I focused a bunch on form both on Tuesday's workout and today. Today it was mostly about making sure I kept good sprinting form and using my arms to help me out without becoming a flailing mess, which, thankfully, didn't happen. Tuesday, it was more about experimenting for me. It was quite a windy day, and running into the wind, I was testing different angles to see what would allow me to slice into the wind, for lack of better description, while still running in a comfortable manner.

10x1 min at goal pace of 3'35, 1 min in between each (will not note rest periods below, there was no rest period between warm up and first interval, nor after the last interval).
Interval will consist of distance and pace, in that order.
Warm up: 12'02, 1.44 km
Intervals:
0.29 km, 3'30 pace
0.28 km, 3'35 pace
0.28 km, 3'34 pace
0.28 km, 3'34 pace
0.29 km, 3'31 pace
0.29 km, 3'29 pace
Screwed up number 7 by pressing stop instead of lap, so I redid it.
0.29 km, 3'30 pace
0.29 km, 3'28 pace
0.28 km, 3'35 pace
0.27 km, 3'42 pace
I think I had a slow start to that last one before I got up to speed.

Breaking in new cleats. I'll be logging them in terms of time, just so I can see how long they've been used when I move on to a new pair.
