Feeling Stronger every day

A few day's ago I finished a ten mile run in an hour flat. The first 7 miles were uncomfortable, but the last 3 miles were so easy I did not even feel them at all. Personally, a month ago I was straining with 6:30's for 6-7 miles so I am feeling ready to move into a whole new level of training, feeling stronger than ever.

Cruise Intervals, 6am tommorow morning! need to get some sleep, just going to get in one more post and be off.

Anyone else seeing improvements in there training?

No, I've been out for a month because of injury, but congrats!! That's amazing!!!
I will watch you in the olympics some day.

definetly my 5K dropped by about 3 minutes in a month.

that great, for someone who can actually run, unlike me.

I've been running all my miles around 7:30 which was faster than I used to.

I'm down to low - mid 7s for my easy runs, and my mileage last week was the second highest I have done.

Well, my summer 5K time is down by 3 minutes, and my mileage is way up. Don't know if it feels "easy" though

not me, i feel slow, tired, weaker, anythin u can think of.

That is what happens when you run more miles than you can handle. scale back the mileage and you will feel better.

I dropped my mileage down from 35 to 25 mpw because I was having some knee issues, and not only are the knee issues gone, I'm training about 1:00/mile faster on ALL my runs. I just took on more mileage than I could handle, and needed to drop down and add mileage slowly.

i dropped my mileage the past 2 weeks because ive been so busy but ive felt great on my runs. on my 4th of july road race (which was 1.7 miles) i ran like 25 sec/mile faster than my 2 mile PR (although ive only run the 2 mile two times lol).

And when you race three times in less than a month.

Anyway, I guess I've been improving because my pace and HR have been dropping.

I don't think I'm going to see the type of improvements I saw from 7th to 8th grade though....5:54 1600 to 5:04 1600.

i only run 30 miles a week. lol
i am planning on moving it up slowly though.
and training smarter. not so many hard days.

I'm still going to beat you at districts and states
Its going to be funny when i get owned at districts again and you get a medal.

eh im just starting my third week back from track so im still getting back into it..im a lot more happy with my running though than i was before i enjoy it a lot more. like i don't have to force myself out the door and stuff.

i have to force myself outside A LOT!
i wanna take a few days and just relax, w/ out the stress of training. but i have a camp coming up. and another race in 2 weeks.

thats how i was in track i absolutely hated it i didn't care about races and i just hated it so much and wanted to do soccer lol. and then i took three weeks off after track and realized that i do really love running and stuff and i wouldn't ever be able to completely stop. it was just like i was mentally burnout or something i never felt like that before. but now im so happy and ready to run and its soo great lol.

yeah i have to wait until late fall to take my break, or early spring before track, cause right after track i have a big 10k race, and then another one 2 weeks later. that i do every year. and w/ my camp i cant get out of shape for that.

yeah its hard.

If you are forcing yourself out the door A LOT then whats the point of running?

because i do love it and enjoy it, just the roads around here are getting boring. and i love running around people or @ least in new places. i have been running in the same roads for years, and it gets to me maybe more than it does to others.
i would really love to run w/ someone or @ least around people like in town.

there wasn't a point i just needed a break lol. when that happened to me...

nice, tracko. i'm feeling good too. only have my mileage up to 65, hoping for 70+ next week. i dropped my 3 mile time on a really hard course by 1:20. so i'm expecting good things this season.

That was one of the best posts I have ever read on this site.
