Monday: 6 miles (9:33). Brixx run. Trying to run the easy runs SLOWER!
Tuesday: 10 miles (9:34). With pickups.
Wednesday: 3 miles(9:25), 5.04 miles (8:50), 2 miles(10:20). 8 x Bison Way Hill Repeats, 6 up, 2 down. It's a deceiving 3/10 of a mile hill up Bison Way. I was hitting the uphills around 2:10 (7:15 pace) and ran the last one at 2:05 (7:00 pace) before doing the two downhills in 2:02 (6:50). I should be doing the downhills faster.
Thursday: 10 miles (9:22). Treadmill. Didn't feel like going out in the cold.
Friday: 3 miles (9:17), 4.4 miles (9:44).
Saturday: 2 miles (9:03), 13.11 miles (8:04), 2 miles (9:57). Originally I was going to run the Frostbite Half Marathon, but didn't sleep well Friday night downtown at the Omni and just decided to go home, rest more, and run it at DCP. Wanted to run a little faster, but just couldn't find the sub 8:00 gear. But 1:45:33 is not bad for a training run half marathon.
Sunday: 10 miles (9:31), 4.51 miles (9:15). Ran super easy. Added a second run to get the weekly volume over 75 miles.
Total Miles: 75.1 miles. As you can see, I ran the easy runs much slower this week. It's so easy to get caught up running the easy runs too close to marathon pace, but I put the brakes on the easy runs this week and my legs felt fresh all week. Even on Sunday after a decent half marathon on Saturday, legs felt really good. Run streak has reached 388 days.
Next Saturday I am running the Hot Chocolate 15K. This will be my first all out race in quite some time.
