Speed work.
Running Speed Work. It is my weakest thing. Why? I beat myself up mentally. I push myself to the max and the entire time I think, "what's wrong with you? Go faster! You've got more in you. Man you're going so slow. NO you're not. YES you are. You're too slow. Stop heffing along. Run! RUN!"
And if you can do that for a mile or two - that's a lot of mental bashing.
Maybe I'll get better if I cycle this speed work into my routine once a week.
But dayum.
I remember my first 1.5 sprint was like this too.
And I wish I could reach back in time and bitchslap myself. I had ran an 11:34 1.5 miler on my first shot.
Right now I made it in 13:30.
First one since the injury in April 2008. I suppose carefully working on this will improve things.
Speed Work. Is not my favorite.
But I think I can really benefit from it.
I got to say - I was nervous before I even set one foot ahead of me for this workout! So silly.
