Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
6.50	0.00	1.00	3.00	10.50

2 mile very easy warmup. 4 x 800. 2:37, 2:35, 2:36, 2:37 with 600 recoveries @ 8:00 pace. 1 mile float then 4 x 400. 75, 74, 75, 75 with 400 recoveries @ 8:00 pace. 1/2 mile float then 1 mile in 5:55. Easy cooldown. Wasn't as springy as I wanted to be, probably from the double yesterday but it was still a good workout. 6:38

Sometimes it's hard not to be a little frustrated. On one hand I am so thankful to finally be healthy and training and I'm having fun, but on the other it's these workouts that show me how much I lost over the injury time period this winter and spring. I need to keep reminding myself to just keep at it and the rest will take care of itself..

Don't force it. You can run "unimpressive" workouts for weeks... But if you aren't pressing / forcing it, and stay consistent, it will click eventually. Just stay at it and train to where you are right now, not where you think you should be. It takes patience but you'll stay healthy and it will pay off.

Brandon your consistency and dedication will pay off. Just keep at it and don't worry too much about paces. It truly is the effort that counts on the track and honestly just putting in the work. Also I for one am incredibly impressed with how you have returned from injury. Keep in mind that SGM is still a long ways away and you have plenty of time to get to where you want to be.

Dude you are already getting awesome. Keep it up and you can drag my butt to a 2:32 at SG :)
