Another tough one.

The plan for today's workout was to hit the track again for some 1000m repeats. But since the weather was crap, and I really didn't want to be on the track in the pouring rain for over an hour, I hit the treadmill instead.
I basically did the same workout I had planned, but for time instead of distance. 7 x 4 minutes at 5:27 pace = just a little over 1100m. I kept the recovery at 3 minutes for the first 5, but after the 6th one I gave myself an extra minute. Total amount of fast running was approximately 4.9 miles. With warm up, recoveries, and cool down, it was 10 for today. Hell of a workout, and I was sweating up a storm. The extra bonus for running on the treadmill at this point in the year is that since the races I'm focusing on are indoor, running in the warm and humid basement is good specific conditioning.
