Monday: 10 miles (9:08). Treadmill run as it was raining all day. I think only Scott and Spencer braved the rains at Brixx.
Tuesday: 2 miles (9:09), 5 miles (8:00), 2 miles (9:35). 2 Mile warmup, 16 x (400m@9.0 mph + 100m@4.5 mph). 9.0 mph on the treadmill is a pace of 6:40. So those were some intense intervals. This workout was meant for the track, but rain and 40 degrees didn't sound fun.
Wednesday: 11 miles (9:30). Finally back outdoors! Legs felt pretty good and didn't show any signs of stress from yesterday's 6:40 paced intervals on the treadmill.
Thursday: 3 miles (9:18), 3.2 miles (9:30), 3 miles (9:35). 3 Mile Warmup, 8 x (.1 mile FAST + .3 miles SLOW), 3 Mile Cooldown. Averaged 5:40 pace on the fast .1 mile intervals with the last one at 5:16 pace. My fastest ever recorded interval.
Friday: 11.2 miles (9:27). Today my run streak reached 400 days. I ran 11.2 miles so the 400 day total would be exactly 3600 miles, which is exactly 9 miles per day. It was good to run into Dolan at the beginning of the run and we ran a couple loops together around Drakes Creek Park.
Saturday: 18 miles (8:42). The initial plan was to do a 2 mile warmup, then 14 miles from 8:15 to 8:00, and a 2 mile cool down. When I started the middle 14 miles, I was able to start at 8:16, but then felt myself slowing some and I didn't want to force it. By miles 5,6,7, I was able to get back under 8:15, but then at the halfway point, my legs just felt tired and heavy. So it was 8:30's for a while before slowing more on the 13th and 14th of the middle 14 miles. Not a bad long run on pretty tired legs.
Sunday: 6 miles (9:37), 6 miles (9:27). Two very easy 6 mile runs today to get my first 80 mile week for 2016.
Total Miles: 80.4. Solid week of training to get my first 80 mile week of the year. Had some tough workouts and some tough ones coming next week to get ready for Tom King Half and the Paris Marathon.
