https://www.endomondo.com/users/26420622/workouts/1039646250- 5:16 official / 5:13 watch (2nd best watch estimated)
- 1km estimated (3:06 - 2nd best watch estimated)
- 0.51 mi (820m) @ 2:30
- 8th overall, but didn't really beat any top people
- was ahead of 4th until right at the turnaround point, and ahead of 5th+ until shortly after
breakdown:
was ahead (which I didn't want to be) until ~400m or so: legs were just blasting at a really light conscious effort
then with the lead for ~500m
started dropping back behind top 3 @ ~600
quads started feeling a bit heavy around 600m or so
started really wimping out around 700m as I approached the 800m u-turn
then wimped out hard for the rest of the race
felt crazy good.. extremely explosive.- my warmup strides were held back considerably and were like 4:1x-4:3x pace easy
stride frequency was decent throughout the entire mile. but still dropped off considerably. started off high, then slowly dropped, especially after the u-turn, but the actual avg cadence remained decent.
199 / 1.61 for the first 0.51 mi ... 199 could be too high, or just need to train it more.my mental game is absolute shit right now.. i must say.-
I mean I EASILY had my best 800m and 1km in me today if I had just done what I said I was going to do, which was push it to the max through 1km .. but mentally I changed my strategy and decided to back off "in order to finish".- that's pissing me off .. that wasn't the plan
- so in a sense (IMHO), this is a "wasted effort" .. I had 1k & 800m PR's
LOCKED UP.. but just switched it into safe mode instead.
this safe mode shit is bothering me.. I'm just trying to override these "hold back" mechanisms, to knock off some massive PR's within segments of the total distance, which today for example was entirely within grasp (first sub 2:20 800 and first sub 3 minute 1k), but I just let it slip out out of "fear" of not finishing decently. I should have been walking after that 1km if I needed to, but instead I held back.
So, happy with my speed/power etc, but not happy with my mental game. Need to fix it..
mile breakdown:
- should have created another lap before the turn around, where I started feeling more acid - fail
- 0.51 mi @ 2:30 (4:54 min/mi)
- 0.30 mi @ 1:41 (5:26 min/mi)
- 0.21 mi @ 1:16 (5:34 min/mi - moving pace) - using moving pace because I forgot to stop my watch at the end
It's not really a crazy drop off .. only hit 6+ going around those stupid u-turns (which everyone hates, but sprinting out of it is a good idea.. heh). Really felt like I was going way slower after I kind of wimped out, checked my watch several times and was surprised I wasn't over 6 min/mi ... so that's kind of cool.
