It’s been way too long since I’ve posted. Things have been super crazy busy so I will try to recap the last week.
Monday:
7 Miles – 2 W/U @ 8:20, 4 @ 6:53, 2 C/D @ 8:20 (Treadmill, 1% Incline, 1:00:57, 7:37 Pace)
Tuesday:
It was time for more track work with Ryan. We ended up doing half of our workout in the pouring rain.
1.5 Mile Warm Up
Then time for 16 X 200s:
LAP 1 – 45
LAP 2 – 45
LAP 3 – 49
LAP 4 – 48
LAP 5 – 45
LAP 6 – 44
LAP 7 – 44
LAP 8 – 43
LAP 9 – 43
LAP 10 – 42
LAP 11 – 39
LAP 12 – 43
LAP 13 – 39
LAP 14 – 40
LAP 15 – 40
LAP 16 – 38
Ryan didn’t run each lap with me this time and instead circled the track as Rob and I got to work. Ryan had Rob running 400s and he gave us tips and critiques along the way. This wasa new challenge for me because I had to hit the pacing for each set on my own, it was hard to get the feel. My brain started to melt at Lap 13, a familiar feeling from last weekend.
1.5 Mile Cool Down
Wednesday:
My first official two-a-day! Woo hoo! About time!!
AM – 6 Miles Recovery @ 8:15 (‘Hood, 47:31, 7:55 Pace)
I was supposed to stay at 8:15, but went a little fast.
MILE 1 – 8:24
MILE 2 – 7:56
MILE 3 – 7:42
MILE 4 – 7:48
MILE 5 – 7:43
MILE 6 – 7:56
PM – 4 Miles Recovery @ 8:15 (St. Louis Gateway Arch, 33:59, 8:30 Pace)
We traveled to St. Louis to Dave Matthews Band!! Once Rob and I got to St. Louis we took our run to the Gateway Arch, which was a lot of fun for some new scenery.
This time my legs were tired and I was slower than the pace I was supposed to hit.
MILE 1 – 8:44
MILE 2 – 8:16
MILE 3 – 8:17
MILE 4 – 8:38
And for fun, here is a picture of Dave.
