Morning- We did 5 miles. We started out slow and never really picked it up over the first 3 miles, I should have gotten everyone to pick up the pace more during miles 2 and 3. But the second time on the lower loop for the last 2 miles I picked it up to my threshold or maybe a little faster, it was a tough pace but it felt really good to run. Jacob also picked up the pace when I did, and he stayed within 30 seconds of me. I finished the run in 40 minutes and I realized how slow the first 3 miles were.
Afternoon- We did 6 and a half miles. We started out slow and gradually accelerated. I put the first mile as easy. We ran the rest of the run at threshold pace or so. I felt good on the run, the last mile was a little hard but we were pushing it. I think the entire team was working really hard on this run.
Summary: I really liked how today we got in a lot of mileage but neither run felt long, I really like 2 a days. I've been feeling really good all day, I think it helps me concentrate in school when I do 2 a days as well and just makes me better in general. I'm going to ask my coach about maybe coming by myself a couple days a week in the morning so I can run a few miles, I think it would benefit my school work and running. |
