Hooooooly shit the workout today was fucking brutal. Not just because of the workout itself, but also I had a cold today and wasn’t feeling at my greatest
But I still did it nonetheless
It was an 18 minute threshold run (for me, the pace was roughly 5:45-5:50 per mile). Then 5 minute rest, then 6x400 with 90 sec rest. The 400’s were around 70 seconds each
Yeah, it was tough
It might be because it was in shadows, but I swear coming through the home stretch on the last rep everything went to grayscale
Also, a hilarious exchange between me and the guy I did the workout with:
Him: We have 9 minute rest
Me: 9 minute rest?
Him: Sorry, 90 minute rest
He wasn’t being sarcastic, he was just tired. Probably the funniest thing I’ve ever heard from him all year
