Tempo Run

I received a note from GS this morning. He has agreed to publish his training on Twitter. If you want the site, ask him for it. I don’t want to distribute his information to the massive amount of MRC(am) followers.

His first post this morning: Track w/Nemo. 8miles - 4x1600. 6:06-6:12.

Well, that is a great way to wake up. It was cold too, about 17 degrees. As I’ve said before, those cats are dedicated. I spent my morning on the trainer in front of the space heater trying to get back into a comfort zone on the TT bike. 60 minutes went by quickly.

This afternoon was nice and sunny with a slight breeze out of the south so I thought I’d put a little tempo run together with increasing effort by mile. As it worked out, I had a tail wind for the last 4.

Mile 1: 7:52
Mile 2: 7:43
Mile 3: 7:46
Mile 4: 7:42
Mile 5: 7:23
Mile 6: 7:15
Mile 7: 7:11
Mile 8: 6:30

I’ll spend another 60 minutes on the TT bike this evening. Tomorrow is leg day! I got a text from J-Fo this afternoon looking to meet me at the gym in the morning. He is getting huge! He wants to do pull-ups in the morning since he rocks at them.
