10k Plan Week 8

This week was meant to be a down week and it became somewhat of a rest week except...

Sun: Rest
Mon: Gym
Tue: Tried new dynamic warm up followed by easy TM running but left quad tightened after 1.75 miles.
Wed: 3 Easy on TM. No issues.

Thu: Ran 1500m and 800m at NYRR Thursday Night at the Races at the Armory in NYC. 5:42 for 1500m. Equivalent of 6:09 mile or so. Was hoping for 6:00 mile equivalent so a bit disappointing. Given recent issues, though, I guess it was OK. For the 800 I tried to go out at 5:00 mile pace just to see how long I could hold it. Not long it turns out. Faded badly to finish in 2:53. Might have been something like: 37, 41, 44, 49. Was thoroughly beaten by a guy celebrating his 70th birthday and just out for a 2:39 "jog".

Fri: 5 Easy outdoors through the marsh trail.

Sat: Rest
