Trainer Workout: 12/3s x 4 with 2.5 mile run

"Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." -  James 1:22.  One of my favorite bible verses.  I love it! Just don't sit and listen to Gods word, you have act upon it.

After last nights 1/2 mile repeats it probably wasn't the best workout.  In fact I called it about 15 minutes early or one repeats.  I was suppose to do 5 of them.  I pulled this workout from the Triathlete magazine this month.  The main set was suppose to be 12 minutes at race speed and 3 minutes one step faster.  So I chose to ride at slightly slower than my HIM speed (19 mph) and then do the 3 minutes at my olympic distance pace (21-22 mph) and then repeat.  If I would have done all 5 repeats I would have spent 1:15 at HIM speed or faster.  My legs just were not having it at less than 10 hours after doing my speed work on the track.  I then went for an easy 2.5 mile run.
