July 31 - August 6 Training

Monday: 3 miles (9:20), 3 miles (8:57).  Legs felt stiff after yesterday's long run.  Ran an easy 3 on the Station Camp Greenway followed by a 3 mile Brixx run.
Tuesday: 7 miles (9:09).  Easy miles on the treadmill.
Wednesday: 2 miles (9:09), 6.25 miles (8:00), 1 mile (9:31).  2 mile warmup.  5 x (1 mile @ sub 7:40 + 1/4 mile jog), 1 mile cooldown.  Ran this on the treadmill. The 5 miles went from 7.9 mph to 8.3 mph for splits of 7:35, 7:30, 7:25, 7:19, 7:14.
Thursday: 5 miles (9:17), 3 miles (9:13).  Two treadmill runs.  Legs pretty sore from Wednesdays tempo run.
Friday: 7 miles (9:24).  Library to DCP.  Still sore from Wednesday!
Saturday: 2 miles (9:20, 4 miles (7:49), 1.5 miles (9:36).  2 mile warmup, 8 x (.15 on/.35 off), 1.5 mile cooldown.  Mile splits on the intervals: 8:01, 7:52, 7:45, 7:39.  It felt good to keep getting faster.
Sunday: 18 miles (9:16).   Ran the first 17 with Alison Kanaby.  4@Easy, 10@sub 9:15, 3@Easy, 1@Cooldown.  We ran the 10 sub 9:15 miles at 9:05 average, so that was pretty good.  It was a great morning, nice and cool for this time of year.

Total Miles: 62.8 miles. Just over a mile less than last week, but I didn't get in all of the maximum distances that this week's plan offered.  But a solid week with 8 miles sub 8:00. That's a lot for me in a week.
