My legs were still a little beat up from the 20 miles on Friday but I decided to go and do some lactate threshold work because I figured that that would be the easiest on my legs. I ended up getting a pretty good work out in, but I could definitely feel my legs on the last interval. The workout was as follows:
3x2 miles with 2 minutes recovery
1 - 10:10(5:03,5:07)
Felt great on this interval.
2 - 10:30(5:15,5:15)
I know there is a 20 second difference but coming back is slower than going out. The effort was probably about the same and I could hear my legs telling me they were still tired finally in the second mile of this interval.
3 - 10:07(5:03,5:04)
Legs were no longer telling me they were tired but they were yelling at me now. I just tried to stay relaxed and keep my form. I felt pretty controlled for the first mile, but the second mile starts with a long gradual hill so I just pushed to the top of that and then pushed on the gentle downhill to the end of the interval.
Overall this was a really good workout. The section I ran on was not super hilly but it was by no means flat. There was a nice a gradual uphill on the first and 3rd intervals and two gradual uphills on the second one. My lactate threshold is where it needs to be now I just need to my VO2 rolling and I will be good to go.
