Tuesday 2/5/08 (Hard Workout)

Reggie Lewis Center - 12 miles

Warm up: 3 miles
Workout: 2x1200 (3:36, 3:34), 3 mile tempo (15:48), 1000(3:05), 800 (2:22)
Cool down: 2.5 miles

The workout was initally 2x1200 at 72 seconds per 400, follow by 3 mile tempo at 5:20 pace and ending with 2x1200 at 72 seconds per 400. I the first 1200 felt harder then I was expecting and the second one was worst. I felt a bit behind but was able to regroup for the 3 mile tempo. I was doing the workout with Ryan Carrara, and a new guy in the team. (can remember his name right now) For the 3 mile tempo we switched the lead every 800 meters. We run the 3 miles between 5:18 to 5:20 pace. I felt really tired during the whole workout and almost cut the tempo short but I decided to keep pushing it and just concentrated on a lap at the time. right after the tempo by calfs got real tight, but I was happy that my achilles was holding up. we started the third part of the workout with the 2x1200 at 72 second per mile but I ended cutting both 1200 short. Instead I did 1000 follow by 800 at 72 seconds. I just couldn't keep up with my other two teammates and was told by the coach to cut it short since I was falling behind. Overall it was a pretty good workout considering it is only my 2nd indoor workout.
