Since training for this half marathon...again, Thursdays are speed drills on the treadmill. I have been faithful with them but had come to realize that I wasn't really pushing myself enough. Yea it was hard but at the end of a speed drill I should kinda hate my life. And I didn't. So, today I did a whole new speed drill. This is what it looked like:
.25 warm up walk
.50 slow run
8x 20/10
.50 slow run
8x 20/10
.25 walk
.50 slow run
8x 20/10
.25 walk
.50 slow run
.10 cool down walk
This was a whole lot better of a speed drill for me. I was soooo hating life when I was on doing it and even after I was done. My speeds for the 20/10's were perfect for me and I hope to bump it up a little next week.
I would be curious to know what speed drills you do and if at the end do you hate your life?
sigh. I need to do speedwork. But I am lazy. I do tempo runs every week, but even those have gone by the wayside in the summer heat. I guess I'm in survival mode :)
