Up and Down

While Monday's workout left me pumped and feeling invincible, today's trials at the track were the complete antithesis of that. Monday was 4x4' w/400m recovery jog. Kind of a 5k race pace workout. 79 second quarters were feeling too easy, I'm not supposed to feel this good at this pace right? The last set I went through 1200m in 3:49, running hard but feeling smooth and strong. Thats like 76sec quarters.

Today was 6x800m w/400m recovery jog. I was just going to try for 77sec quarters, or 2:34 800's. Nothing crazy after Monday, should be no sweat right? I mean come on, my last rep Monday I went through the 800m in 2:32 running strong. Not so much. It was rough. I felt sluggish, tired and anything but spry. I ran my 2:34's 2:35's. But why did it have to hurt so much?
