Too tired to look up a quote. LOL.
But I do remember Frank Shorter, when asked what one thing would he change about his training throughout his career, saying , “I would do my easy days easier.”
My legs did mot feel sore this morning, which was a bit surprising because I covered 10 miles on the previous two days. So, when I got to the cinder track this evening, I thought it might be a good day to run some quality 660’s. I quickly realized that my legs were not going to cooperate as I warmed up. I continued to do a few more progressive accelerations. I chose to try the 660’s eventually. I set a modest goal of 3 minutes per effort. I ran progressive times; 3:10, 3:00, 2.51. Was hoping for 4, but felt quite exhausted after 3. So,I quit. I felt like I didn’t do enough. So, I measured off and planned to run a few x 100m. Did one in 23.5 and got scared and quit again. Strange day! Maybe better than nothing…..
