Running
4 x 400m speed intervals

The intervals were pretty cool. I didn't fully recover between the repeats, which was good. I was more and more fatigued going into the next round. I feel like that type of running really helps you push through that pain barrier, when everything burns and you pray for rest...instead you take another stride, then one more, and another, and so on, until you reach the end of wherever you are trying to go.
Eventually you realize that the pain isn't that bad, that once you relax you could probably hold this pace for much longer. When I used to run 50-60 miles a week, making improvements wasn't necessarily about making myself better physically, because I had really good physical endurance. The problem came for me mentally. As soon as the run got uncomfortably hard, I would almost go into a panic, like something would happen if I continued to feel this pain. All mental. Once I could convince myself to relax and just keep putting one foot in front of the other, the rest was easy...
