Run warm up/down 20:00 [2] 2.4 mi (8:20 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Progrid Ride 11/9/2009

Because I was to join Dasha at 7:30PM (only in an alternative universe would I be able to pull this off) for her visit dinner, I had to majorly alter my plans. Took the T to Harvard with my gym bag with a change of clothes, and then walked to the track.

Did 20 minutes of easy warm-up, the latter half with Terry and Vanessa.

At the end of all this, I would get in another 5 good minutes of bonus stretching: Eddies, groin things, ankle warmups.

Plyometrics 7:00 [2]
shoes: Saucony Progrid Ride 11/9/2009

Normal stuff. Felt good. Even the inchies.

Run warm up/down 4:00 intensity: (3:00 @2) + (1:00 @3) 0.5 mi (8:00 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Progrid Ride 11/9/2009

Strides. SGB is a fast SOB. I am not sure I could keep up with him for any distance. Maybe 100 miles, not sure.

He seems to have such long strides (good for doing strides, right?) and just lopes along, while I feel like the road runner (albeit, a slower version.)

Run intervals 30:50 intensity: (12:09 @2) + (18:41 @4) 4.35 mi (7:05 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Progrid Ride 11/9/2009

1600 x 2 @ 5K pace
600 x 4 @ 3K pace

400 rest after the 1600s, otherwise 200 rest.

Very happy with this workout. Nice and solid. No fade. The speed is what it is, but even the 600s were sort of respectable. Getting there.

Note

Finished around 7:30 as expected, so I change quickly on the bleachers and trek back to Harvard Square. Red line to DT Xing, then wait, wait, wait... orange line to Haymarket. Probably get to the restaurant at 8:15, but luckily was not really conspicuously late (Dasha was finishing a hand-off call anyway.)
