Yesterday turned out to be a painful workout day. Tracy (my trainer) called for a speed workout and that's exactly what we did. After our warmup we made our way outside in the parking lot corner for the first part of our workout. We found a slight incline and walked out about 150 meters and sprinted uphill... nine times. The reason? Speed workouts are going to help me reach a faster "race pace" and build up more endurance for the long runs. Although the workout was short, it left its mark. Moving forward I'll be including these sprints once a week.
The second part of the workout consisted on finding a "tempo" pace - the pace I'll use once a week to log a few miles while pushing my pace. This tempo pace would fall between my race pace and long-run pace. Still working on finding it and establishing it, but tempo runs will be present from now on as well!
Tomorrow I'll try to sneak in a run before Sunday's long run - stay tuned!
