The 'J Word'

Monday March 08 2010

 This past week was the heaviest week of training I've had in over a year. And I'm definitely paying the price today. Tuesday I did three sets of three 300s between 43 and 46 seconds. The third set was tough, but I managed to make my last rep my fastest. I would like to have been 42ish, but it just wasn't in the cards that day. Thursday was twenty minutes of tempo. I hate running at tempo pace; it's hard enough that it's not comfortable, but slow enough that you don't get that feeling of cutting through the air. It's just a death march.
