Speed workout today. My legs hurt really bad during school today and I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to do the speed. They were feeling a little better at practice though so I decided to run as much as I could. It was super windy so I was a little nervous for that because it really messed up my asthma, so I had my bandana on to combat that. The workout was 3x400 (at mile pace), 800 (at 2 mile pace), and 400 (at mile pace). We had 90 sec. rest inbetween every one and 3 minutes inbetween each set. The first set went fine and I was able to get 70's on the 400's and 2:32 on the 800. The next set wasn't as good though, the first 400 went find but by the time I finished the 800 I couldn't breath at all. I somehow told my coach and she told me to sit out the next 400. I did and it helped a little bit but not much. I ran the first 400 of the last set in like a 73 or 74 and then dropped out after the first lap of the 800 because I was really struggling to breath. I still ran the last 400 which just about killed me. We then had to go finish up our mileage which was really rough. My legs weren't feeling to great and I was in quite the daze from not being able to breath. We took a bunch of stops which was nice and I only ran 4 miles after. I was supposed to go 6 but so that my daily mileage would be at 10 but it just wasn't happening today. I iced after my run so hopefully my legs feel better tomorrow.
