I hate running on a track.  I mean I really hate it.  Which is probably the reason I have never shown up to Hustle before.  It’s not the running, it’s just the boredom of running around the track that bothers me.  That said, I made a commitment to the Chicago Marathon and to properly train for a blazing fast time, evidently you have to do some speed work.  I always preach getting comfortable being uncomfortable, and therefore, I found myself at Hustle.  5 others joined me.

Some PAX have their own plans they are working from (which is great), but those who didn’t signed up for the following.

1/2 mile warm-up

1/2 mile at 10k pace

2 mins at recovery pace

8 rounds of 1/4 mile at 5k pace with 90 secs at recovery pace

1/2 mile at 10k pace

1/2 mile cool down

• Only 17 more weeks to go.
• Great work by all.
• Tweeter was especially impressive.  I thought for sure I would leave him, but he stayed right there the entire 45 mins.
