This week was a planned light week due to the midnight race on Friday. It ended up being even ligher thanks to some car troubles and a whole lot of rain. Here’s how it went:
Monday AM: 2 treadmill miles at 8:19 pace + full body strength training
Monday PM: 4 miles with Alice at 10:19 pace
Tuesday AM: 6.27 miles with Richie at 8:14 pace
Tuesday PM: 4 miles with Alice at 10:15 pace
Wednesday AM: 6 treadmill miles at 8:19 pace
Thursday PM: 2 miles fartleks at 7:36 pace
Friday PM: 5K race at 6:25 pace
Sunday AM: 4 miles with Alice at 10:51 pace
Total: 31.37
Alice and I both had sandbag legs this morning for our 4 miler. Hopefully, the 4 miles cleared them out. Next week starts speed workouts. I’ve got a set of 400 m intervals and a tempo run on tap. I’m more worried about the tempo run than the intervals, but we’ll see what happens.
do you kinda dread speed days? i find myself doing that lately. really have to force myself to do it, but then i feel ‘accomplished’ after i at least attempt to run hard.
anyway, nice week. i don’t doubt the legs were heavy after the midnight race!
Ahh i love 400s! So much fun! Enjoy them!
