Shoe Adizero 3.51.1 (Bl/rd)
Comments It took a thunderstorm, pouring rain, and gusting winds to finally clear out Temples Track. First time ever I was the only person running. Ill take these conditions any day as long as it allows for an empty lane one. Workout was 1 x 600 (Interval Pace, 5 min active recovery), 2 x 400 (fast, 5 min active recovery), 600 (fast, 6 min active recovery), 2 x 300 (fast, 3 min active recovery), 4 x 200 (Interval pace). Hit the first 600 right on pace, good cruising turnover to get my legs moving since I didn't do any strides or stretching. the 400s were well within my comfort zone, felt fully recovered by 2 mins of each rest period. About 300 m into my 600 rep, a bolt of lightning strung across the inner field, reminiscent of an epic run years ago with Joe Lust. Needless to say my motivation spiked and I closed out the last 200 well. Adrenaline was pumping at this point and the rain was now stinging. Ran both 300s completely water logged and mostly blind. Confident that this workout would be sub 60 pace in spikes, however the effort is accurate. Decided to cut the 200s since I didn't see much benefit to slogging through a couple of cool down strides in these conditions. Jogged home and enjoyed the rain.
