Monday: 6 miles (9:15), 3 miles (8:51).
Tuesday: 5 miles (8:59), 4 miles (9:42). It was so hot and miserable at 4 PM for the second run that I died after 4 miles and had the walk of shame back to the car. It was supposed to be 7 miles with hill sprints.
Wednesday: 14.5 miles (8:34). Longest midweek run in a long time, maybe ever. Storms outside, so ran on treadmill. 2 mile warm up, 3 miles @ 8:05, 1/2 mile slow, 3 miles @ 7:55, 1/2 mile slow, 3 miles @ 7:45, 1/2 mile slow, 2 mile cool down. The first 3 mile tempo interval felt tough at first and it had me worried about this workout. By the second 3 mile interval I was feeling better. It felt like I was running down the highway at Grandma's marathon because that was the BQ pace. The 3rd interval felt like I was moving pretty fast and hopefully that will be the Berlin pace. Legs felt pretty tired after this run.
Thursday: 4 miles (9:23), 4 miles (9:34).
Friday: 2 miles (8:58), 3 miles (8:08), 1 mile (10:26), 4 miles (9:12). Track workout at HHS started with a 2 mile warmup, then 4 x (800m@3:30ish + 400m easy), 1 mile cool down.
Saturday: 5 miles (9:13), 5 miles (9:26). Stayed at the Omni Hotel Friday night and ran to the E S Rose Park track on Saturday morning to meet some of the Harriers. Did 3 x (5 minute temp + 5 minutes core exercises). Paid the price for doing squats, lunges and more when I had not been doing that type of work. Sore the next few days.
Sunday: 10 miles (9:32), 5 miles (9:15), 4.5 miles (9:18). Struggled on the attempt to do a 20 miler on Sunday morning, no doubt from going crazy on Saturday morning, so stopped at 10 miles and ran a couple more times during the day to get my first ever back to back 80 mile weeks.
Total miles: 80.05 miles. Back to back 80 mile weeks for the first time ever.
