Mon, 5/28/2012 AM: 7.5 miles steady reverse River Rd. in 48:37 + strides PM: 4 miles on New Cut Rd. in 26:28 Tue, 5/29/2012 Warm-up, 6 x 1M on Trolley Line (uphill/downhill) in 5:48, 5:13, 5:37, 5:12, 5:45, 5:18 (r.1) * Alright, bum calf and all, I headed out to the Trolley Line for a solid workout. The goal was to run 8 x 1M, but with the calf and the effort of the uphill (165ft of climb), I opted for six reps once I started falling apart. If the calf was 100% I would have gone 8, but was prudent. Not smart to fall apart running downhill. Nice humidity this morning and great work. In the Charge 2's... which held up well downhill.

However, I laced up the spikes, had 4 x 60m strides that went well, finally hitting stride in the last one, and then launched into the workout, passing 200m in 35-sec and controlling myself. I felt that 800m was too much recovery and opted to cut that down to 400m and then mentally was not cool with the sets of 2:28/2:28/2:24/2:24/2:20/All-Out. Mentally, I was fine with two sets and then all out as I was worried that trying to run 2:20 would end my workout, so I psyched myself up for one final push on that 5th set and it was amazing. 200m flew by and I was very strong. Blitzed the whole...
