Tuesday: 2 miles (8:56), 5 miles (8:11), 1 Mile (8:57). 2 Mile warmup and then over to the HHS Track. 4 x (1 mile @ 7:40 + 400m jog), 1 Mile Cooldown. Mile splits were 7:40, 7:38, 7:33, 7:33. They were tougher than I expected. Originally scheduled for Wednesday, but I moved it up since I will be traveling this weekend and want to move up the workouts. I could be feeling the effects of running everything sub 9 this past week making it harder to hit the workouts.
Wednesday: 8 miles (9:07). After pushing a bit on the first mile to get sub 9, I decided to not keep up the streak of having every mile sub 9. The body needed some easier running, which wasn't sub 9, but was pretty close. I was also into a pretty stiff wind on some of those miles.
Thursday: 2 miles (9:33), 5 miles (9:47), 1 mile (9:29), 3 miles (9:13). 2 mile warmup at Drakes Creek Park followed by 16 x (400m@sub 1:50 + 100m slow walk) at the HHS Track with a 1 mile cooldown. Added a 3 mile shakeout run on the treadmill after a leg session with the Normatec. I felt pretty weak on the warmup, so I wasn't expecting to do well at the track. Most of the 400m's were in the 1:40-1:45 range with a few above it and the last one at 1:38. So I did better than I was expecting.
Friday: 6 miles (9:08). Easy miles at Drakes Creek Park. New heart rate monitor. First time I ran with a HR monitor in a long time. Avg. HR was 143, max 151. Garmin gave me an initial VO2 max of 44 and predicts a 3:45 marathon for me. We'll see how that improves now that I am exactly 100 days to the London Marathon.
Saturday: 3 miles (9:13). Short treadmill run before driving to Kingsport, TN, to visit family.
Sunday: 4 miles (9:21). Ran on the golf course golf cart path at the Kingsport Marriott resort. Pushing the long run to Monday to due the family visit this weekend. Drove back late Sunday afternoon.
Total Miles: 48 miles. Low mileage due to travelling and no long run. But on Sunday, my run streak reached 2 years. Time to start year 3 on Monday.
