"Lucked out" meaning of course changing the timing to ensure you hit the right weather.

I love this workout. Great job Jake.

I tried to say it was good planning on my part but Andrea said I got lucky again, so I can't argue w/ that! If the storm was moving in a few hours earlier, let's face it, I wouldn't have woken up at 3am to do this :-)

Rachelle, this is essentially a 4-3-2-1 x Kilometer workout... just a little short of that. Great way to get in 30 minutes of fast running.

Pretty cool idea for an LT workout. Each subsequent rep would be like a gift as they got shorter and shorter. Although I see you (Magness?) ruined the "gift factor" by dropping the pace. Great run.

Yeah it seems easier on paper, but then you realize every (shorter) rep needs to be a bit faster, so mentally it isn't bad, but physically it can be deceptive. Run the first segment too hard and you're toast :-)

Good workout Jake, would this be considered a wave type workout? Good luck at the 15k coming up. I'm thinking you could possibly close the gap on this race.

A wave style workout would be alternating faster (~LT) segments with "slower" segments around marathon pace. So this wouldn't be that type of workout, because I was running the recovery portions much easier than that. I did a few of the wave runs in early January to usher in some faster paces, but I've shelved those for the time being until I get faster. This was more of a classic breakdown workout... sort of a progression run w/ full recovery b/w the segments to allow me to hit faster paces.

I'm not sure what will come of this 15K... I sort of need to blend it into a long run... but I'm definitely feeling like I'll be able to run a solid half-marathon next weekend in Phoenix.
