i hope its thursday thursdailies

4ish miles in the am


probably around 8 on some trails later.

the last fun run this week finally. we get pizza and soda after we run as a nice treat. today is a good day.

6 or 7 later
It just occurred to me that during xc season, I am not going to be running in 70 degree weather in the morning and at night; I'm going to be running at 3 in the afternoon when it's almost 90 outside. I decided I should probably start getting used to that:
1.7 mile hilly loop x 2
so 3.4 miles in 88 degree heat. Fun, fun, fun!!
but come xc season it will make things a little easier, I hope.

might do 6 or 7 on the treadmill later

yesterdays workout:

4-6 miles
strides and other stuff.

Just came back running 10 miles for my AM run

1.5 miles of it was from my apartment to school were I met up with a sophmore and freshman, since the freshman barely joined last week I thought it would be good for his long run to be 6 miles this week which is the farthest he's ever gone, LOL he was dying soo bad but he finished it, pretty porud of the guy, after that I ran back home 2.5 miles on a different route back

so 1.5 + 6 + 2.5 = 10 miles

For my PM run prob ganna do 7 miles (might be cut short to 5 miles if I feel not up to the 7 miles)

4x1200 today.

1.5 mile warmup
strides

1st- 5:10, just feelin it out, chillin
2nd- 4:48, a bit more seriouus, still felt good
3rd- 4:47, almost done, not really tired
4th- 4:33, last one.


the times look stupidly inconsistent but it was only supposed to be 85%, and they all felt easy enough.

1.5 mile cool down
6 miles total

15.5 long run. Got my momma biking with me so I can have water this time.

Mile warmup
16 800s (oww)
mile cooldown
Then my coach decided we didn't run enough, and she made us do 2 more miles. So today I set a new PR for most miles run when it wasn't a distance day.

It could've been tempo, but I still agree.

AM - 4.5

PM - 6 with 9 10 sec surges

10.5 altogether

What pace were the 800s run at? I can't see any pace being realisic..if there easy pace why not just run them straight as non-intervals (or less if not everyone can run that far), and if thats at tempo or faster there is no way you could keep it at that tempo pace after 8-10 of them.

Either your coach just fucked you over big time, or they were at an aerobic pace. Probably the second one. And if they were at an aerobic pace, you pretty much did an eight mile run with a break every half mile.

QFEXACTLYWHATISAIDBUT30SECONDSSOONER

4.5 miles,

Elevation:

Start, 700 feet
Middle, 1600 feet
End, 700 feet.
At the very top there was a clearing and I could see Lake Erie 4 miles away, and a church down the road from my house 5 miles away.

Sucked majorly. I think I was dehydrated.

did a 6 mile progression run.

easy 3 miles....
core work

6 miles on trails

Going on my PM run intend to do a 7 miler and if i'm not up to it i'll prob cut it short to 4.5 miles.

7.5 miles, easy

Was going to do more but figured I needed a somewhat rest day so I can do really well at the first day of practice tomorrow. I actually want to make varsity this year, though it's probably unlikely

Just got back from my PM run a little over 7 miles
ran it in 48 mins meaning 6:50 pace

hilly 8.5
