A good aerobic day 5 on the cinders

3.4 miles with multiple pick ups

2.5 under 30:00

 It was another cold and damp day that required some steeling to get out onto the track. However, after a warm-up, it felt like a fine running day.

Today, day six, was a duplicate of yesterday, cold and wet all day. I waited all day again for a break in the rain. But it never came. At 4 o’clock. I bundled up and set out looking for somewhere to do some HIIT.  I actually pulled into the clubhouse parking lot thinking that my only choice was to work on the indoor treadmill again. After contemplating for a while I made a call. The only possible available, non-muddy, soft surface was the Jackson liberty high school track. Outdoor running conditions were going to be much worse tomorrow, so I drove the 7 miles to Jackson liberty high school hoping that the track was not locked. It wasn’t!  I did a standard warm-up of 800 m, stretching and three strides.  Then I did four 600 m intervals at 3:15 with two minute recovery. It was pretty rough, but I was also pretty layered up, and I was looking for some serious work. So, I was very satisfied with the workout and with myself for not backing down.

I really like this new workout plan.‍‍‍
