6:22, 6:22, 6:22, 6:22, 6:22 with 70 sec recovery. Slowed these down a tad after feeling rough from Monday workout. Did reps 2,4 in reverse clockwise direction.
6:21, 6:18, 6:19, 6:17, 6:18 with 60 sec recovery. Felt a little rough after yesterday’s return from Terre Haute, travel does that. Good session overall.
Easy Sunday morning. You know the iconic Coke bottle shape? Decades ago Coca Cola ran a national contest for a bottle design. The winning contoured bottle shape came out of Terre Haute.
@runliftrunlift #4 is where I'm at. The Achilles has been a chronic complainer for many years, but then will go through quiet periods. Currently expressing its displeasure with load, but returns to normal state after a couple days.
6:21, 6:21, 6:18, 6:19, 6:18 with 60 sec recovery. Went for it today, the full 8000 meters of sub threshold. Some heel tendon discomfort rep 2, but that passed.
Dave Wottle's 200m splits were 26.4, 27.1, 26.2 and 26.2 in his gold medal Olympics performance.
Reminder that even pacing won't feel like even effort. Holding that same pace gets ever tougher, whatever the race.

The culture needs a pivot to some sort of resilience culture instead, where people learn to succeed in less than ideal circumstances.
Wottleheads know.

If firms don't hire entry level, who exactly will be the experienced professionals for them in 10 years?
