race day! or .. something like that
Long story short, hit a top speed PR of 18.3 mph. Never hit 18 mph with running form before. Think i've only gotten into the 17's a few times. Also did it at the end of the "race/workout".
Got to the event, warming up, wasn't too amp'd to run 10k - which continues the theme from this week. Hung with #2 & #3 for 1 mile while constantly thinking, bleh I just want to go crazy fast. So, shut it down and turned it into an interval workout. Still got 2nd for my age group somehow, LMAO!!

vo2 max: 65top speed PR. I hit 18.1 or 18.3 mph about 2+ years ago or so, but that's when I was focusing on sprinting exclusively. I also pulled my hamstring in that effort. LMAO. So that was massively forefoot, max effort top speed sprint. This was at the end of intervals with considerable fatigue. Pretty cool.
Wasn't really focused on this 10k, as indicated by my "meh!!" titles. So I went out with the 2nd/3rd place guys, 1st took off. Stuck around for a mile (5:44), then shut it down and started trying to convince myself to do some intervals. Once I did the first one, I was good to go. It was really odd doing that in a race setting but it was also pretty fun.
basically did: 5:44 mile, recover, then 13 x sub5 pace (random durations, longest was 47s) with jog recovery.
excited about Tuesday's mile race. want to really push that mile HARD.
movin! 18.3 mph! 3:17 min/mi! need to get that sub3 top speed!
