Sweaty Sundailies

ZOMGZ, I DID IT!!!
Lol, I came on at 12:01 just to do this.

Probably resting today. This week has made me feel like a national elite as everything has been effortless yet fast. Like 4 minutes on 5% grade at 12 mph

I also did a practice duathlon like a mad man. Life is good this week.

So basically you went 5:00 mile pace for 4 minutes?

Anyway I finished my first weak of training at 23 miles, I'm hoping to be around 30 next week. Today I ran 4.6 miles at 7:45 pace.

Elite athletes easily hold that pace for like an hour. And that might be the stupidest workout I've ever heard.

What that was a workout? That's like barely breaking 3:40 for a 1200m.

Rest..maybe a football or bball game with some friends later

8 miles very slow 7:52 pace
felt bad AGAIN the first 5 miles or so.

Strides

plyos

corework

weightlifting

Prolly rest; the hammy is acting up

Went out for 5.5 miles of tempo (That means fast, right? Like, as fast as you can go?) with a couple of kids from the neighborhood. We got a little bit of a late start so it was hotter than usual but not as bad as it's been. Definitely felt good--getting ready for some speed work this upcoming week to prep for a 5k!

no it is not as fast as you can go

a tempo pace is usually just a hard, EVEN pace the whole way. not all out. but a harder run.

So not tempo then.

Now I don't have a word for what it was! ( )

speedwork is the closest thing i can think of

I'm doing an easy 9 miles today, 8 strides, core work, and pushups.

welcome back

14.44 mile long run. Overall pace, 7:05, although I epically negative splitted it (first half 7:34 pace, second half 6:38 ) and the last 5k was sub 20 pace on very hilly territory, so the last 3 miles were almost tempo. I'm on cloud nine right now

Why's everyone doing such fast runs this early in base???


Anyway, 4 miles at 150 bpm.
Everyone told me heart training takes patience and then you see huuuuge results, but this might take a little long than I thought.

we did a "race" for xc camp. (just got back)
about 3ish miles pretty fast, we didn't time it or anything.

and I burned like crazy.
