Event: 2014 US Nationals
 

Flat pavement run on the greenbelt. Ten minute warmup then tempo section at bit slower than 10k pace. Goal was to start at comfortable level and maintain same speed the whole time. Initially was thinking 4k but feeling good so extended it to 7k in the end. Quite a positive run as I didn't think I could hold the pace I did for so long and without a massive effort. 3:1 breathing for most of it. The last few km were harder although I did ramp the pace up a touch. Reassuring to see that I could probably manage a 41 or 42 min 10k if I had to. I was worried I was down in the 45 min range now.

First swim in a while so went slow and only did 2/3 of the workout. Interestingly breast stroke kick bothers my calf. Also used my Garmin Fenix to test the pool swimming feature. It was quite impressive counting distance, strokes and laps. Only missed a few laps where I was kicking with the flutter board.

Short morning run. 6x400m tempo with lots of rest between so more speed than threshold work. 1:30-1:45 depending on terrain.

MacPherson trails. I don't think I have ever run this many times out there. Feels weird to be driving out without my bike.
