Intervals are hard

I was going to take a nice bike ride today - only to find out my poor new tire had a blowout inside the shed. Hopefully just a pinch flat, but I didn't have time to change it and still get in much of a ride.

Decided to do some work on foot instead. Warmed up one mile. Ran half mile hard, walk one tenth, repeat for four work intervals. Finish it off with a couple shorter jogging intervals to warm down.

I hope that helps since I have nothing in the way of long runs to count toward my Steelhead half Ironman preparation. Going to have to just wing it on "muscle memory" and a few short runs.

Looks like quite a nice pace you kept on those intervals, too. I'm sure you'll be fine at Steelhead, your body has many race memories to choose from for reminders.

You will DO this! You have done it many times before...and you KNOW you will be ahead of a certain someone...:-)

You have out in reasonable amounts of training to get through it in a good time! Best of luck!

Looks like a tough workout indeed!

Good luck with Steelhead. Coming up soon... enjoy your last workouts before TAPER!
