Last Week’s Training Notes
Monday’s Morning Run plus 4 x 15 second strides
Mileage- 8
Pace-7:55/mile
Took awhile for my legs to wake up this morning.
Tuesday’s Cold, Wet, and Windy Hill Repeats
Mileage- 7
Pace- 8:52/mile
Elevation- 713 ft
I went very slow going down the hills. They were very slick. I pushed it going uphill. Flagpole Hill x 10 There was no one else in sight. The rain felt like pins and needles by the end of this run.
Wednesday Morning Run
Mileage- 12
Pace- 7:56/mile
Easy run. Not too sore from the hills. I saw a coyote today.
Thursday Morning’s “Couldn’t Wake Up” Run
Mileage- 8
Pace- 8:03/mile
Major Off Day. I wore my non-running jacket, my around the house leg warmers, and forgot my inhaler. At least this was an easy run day.
Friday Track Workout
Mileage- 7
Average Pace- 7:00/mile
2 mile warm up, 2 x (5 x 200 m) (44,44,43,43,43,43,42,41,41,40) jog in between, 2 mile cool down
It took awhile to warm up, but it did not take much of a jog to recover in between the 200’s. I felt ready to go after about 100 meters.
Saturday’s Treadmill Run
Mileage- 8.4
Pace- 7:44/mile
Recovery run with music! I am a little nervous about tomorrow’s 16 mile run.
Sunday Long Run
Mileage- 16
Pace- 7:34/mile
Strong, solid run! I ran the last three miles faster, from marathon pace down to half marathon pace. The humidity was rough. So was the Northwest Highway Hill for mile 16. This was a strong, progressive run.
Total Mileage- 67
I’m ready for Race Week!
