Tempo day back in the real world at the gym at home. 10 miles on the treadmill at 5:42 pace (10.5mph) with the last mile at 12mph.

After lunch went back to the gym with the kids and they played in the pool while I ran the identical workout again. Good to get some miles in at close to half and full marathon pace. I fel pretty strong for Des News even with leaving the running for the last week

That's quite a double workout day!

That's what Renato Canova refers to as the "special block" - it works for his guys! :-)

Thanks, there is a big crunch of races coming up and I took a needed mental break. It was good for me to put in some pace time.

Very solid run. I thought I had a good run today but yours is far more impressive. Your strength is awesome. Good luck at Des News.

Thanks, but I don't do it often. You guys crank these out weekly.

That was a monster workout! Impressive double! I would have been patting myself on the back after just one of those for the day.
