On the verge of injury

Mon 4/14: Lower, 7.8mi. Felt really bad so ran really slow, around 61min.

Tue 4/15: 4 x 2 x 400m at 800m race pace. I seem this an impossible workout if you go every 2 minutes within each set. Ran 66, 68, 68, 73, 72, 76, 73, 74. Yes, I know it's slower than 1500 pace. I feel horrible. And my hamstrings which were only sore before are feeling like they're being injured. ~6mi.

Wed 4/16: Tu madre but turned back early the street after San Gabriel. ~4.5mi, 39min. Ran really really slow bc legs were feeling really bad. Felt like I couldn't go faster without hurting myself... Got a really strong massage with this metal thing on my hamstrings and calves afterwards, I think it helped.

Thu 4/17: 3 x 300, 300, 200 going every 2min with 5 between sets. Ran 51, 50, 31, 49, 50, 32, 49, 49, 31, which adds up to 2:12, 2:11, 2:09 for the 800s. Goal was 1500 to (hopefully) 800 pace, so I think I did ok. Hamstrings were pretty uncomfortable but manageable. ~6.5mi.

Fri 4/18: Prerace, 3.4mi. Prefrosh ran with us!

Sat 4/19: Just ran the 800 since Scott wanted to be a bit conservative with me. Pretty decent, split 63 high for a 2:09 high final time. Pretty far off the pr, but it's my best time at Caltech! A lap in, it felt like I wouldn't be able to hold the pace, but I  pushed it and thankfully managed to hold it until the end. ~5mi total.

Sat 4/20: Lifted, did all three presses and probably went a bit hard in the beginning. Flat was fine, but then I was really tired for incline and decline was pretty horrible too.

Total: 33.2mi.
