Week Eight - Speed Work

Today was the first day of speed work for this marathon season. Because it was so cold outdoors, I used the opportunity to try out the U's fieldhouse for the first time.

After a warm-up, I did several sprints ranging from about 100 to 200 yards, with walking or leisurely running in between them. I did this for 30 min., and estimate that I ran about 3 miles.

The result: some sore fast-twitch muscle fibers tonight!

Run stats:

  • ~3 mi.
  • 30 min.
  • Miles to date: 102.09
