One More For The Road

One more week till Nationals,one final repeat,3x1,000m.
Not sure what the temps were at 4.15pm when I arrived at Temple but by the time I got done my stretches the sweat was rolling off me.....good prep for Sacramento next week I say!!
Given I was cutting down my 1,000s from 5 to 3 I didn't think it was an unreasonable thought that I might get all three at sub 3..................

#1 1,000m 1.10,1.13,32-2.55.6. Oh snap! talk about start how you mean to go on!!much like the reduced mile repeats on Monday I knew I could come out all guns blazing,the trick now was to make sure #2 was as solid
#2 1,000m 1.12,1.12,33-2.57.5.Two years ago when I was doing 2x1,000m repeats w/ 9 minute recovery my best was 2.53.3-2.50.9.the strength I've gotten from upping my mileage from 30 miles to 45/50 miles a week is paying off.
#3 1,000m 1.12,1.13,29-2.54.9.Having for all intense and purposes gone 3/3 w/ my mile repeats at sub 5 on Monday,this was even more satisfying,closing in 29 seconds was priceless and the fact my 400s were eerily consistent meant I could consider this final repeat workout b4 Nationals a success.

Tomorrow will see an easy 6 miler on tap,after tonite that was the plan anyway plus there's talk of it being 96 degrees so "easy does it" is the mindset.
