Much better week

This week has been a whole lot better than the past few. I've consistently felt very good all week and I'm very thankful for that!

So far this week I've managed:


Tuesday : Easy 5
Thursday : Easy 4.25miles (about 33 minutes)
Saturday: Easy 4 (fun rain run)
Sunday: Easy 4 Miles

Weekly Mileage: 17.25 (Track Base Time!!!)

wow...

Where to begin? I was on again off again sick this week. Managed 6.2 on Monday and NOTHING since. Road race tomorrow just for fun at this point. I'm going insane, I HATE being sick.

Update: Skipped the roadrace, did an easy 4 at night. Was sad too, found out the race was very small, I probably would've won.

Got 10.2mi in this week :(

Another Disappointing Week

I couldn't even tell you what I did this week, maybe nothing. Allergies are beating me up along with a lack of motivation and a yearning for track season.

Monday: Long run attempt on TM, stopped at 5 felt crappy.
Wednesday - About 3.1 miles
Thursday - Easy 6
Friday Off (Allergies)
Saturday(Skipped 8k)
Sunday(Baseball, we WON! I went 1-2 w/ two walks and a triple!)

Wow, looking back at this I didn't do anything. I'm very disappointed.

14.1Miles

Friday Off / Saturday 5k

Well I realized that training seems to be a week behind; last Saturday I PR'd at my 8k without training that week, so I anticipated feeling crappy today and skipped my collegiate meet.

Instead, I found a 5k about 45 minutes away, which on a good day I may have placed my AG / Top 10. Ended up running a 20:34 (About 6:37) and decided to count it as a tempo run.

It was unusually hot/humid after being very chilly all week (50's) and I'm taking that into account as well.

Double header for baseball tomorrow, and if I'm not too tired; maybe a long run!

Miles : About 4.1

Weekly Mileage: Lousy 17.1

Thursday - Hill Repeats

Decided to skip practice today and did 6 hill repeats of about 400 meters, was pretty cold out by the time I got out (About 9pm) so only did them until I started to not be able to take the cold.

1 Mile Warm up

6x400 Hills (Probably an 80 second climb)

1 Mile Cool down

3.5 Miles

Tuesday Recovery/Wednesday Off

Nothing special to note today, did a recovery four miles with Myra.

About 35 minutes.

Total Miles: 4

Took Wednesday off to ensure I'm not jumping back into training too quickly.

Monday Speedwork - 1200's

After a mile warmup, we proceeded to do 6x1200s on hilly terrain.

[1200] [Mile Avg]
1. 4:25.52 (Avg. 6:10)

2. 4:40.83 (Avg. 6:02)

3. 4:42.16 (Avg. 6:06)

4. 4:42.85 (Avg. 6:08)

5. 4:49.03 (Avg. 6:18)

6. 4:45.74 (Avg. 6:13)

Mile Cooldown

Nothing spectacular by any means, 800's were split around 3minutes. Definitely felt it during this workout having missed all of last week, but was still hitting pretty consistent times so I'm content for now.

Total Mileage: 6.2 Miles
