Easy run. I figured a 12 mile 2x4 @ mp run followed by another 12 mile run and then an 18 mile run on Sunday might be a bit much. Better to prioritize a quality high mileage weekend and just accept I missed my Thursday workout- or at least downgraded it. That's okay though, my plan was to have this week be more about easing into my new solo grind anyways. Hopefully Jake regains the fire in the spring- but for now it's probably good I'll be doing marathon specific workouts instead of miler workouts. I also need to do 2 more hard weeks before my next down week in order to perfectly sync up my down weeks with tapering for the UVU 5k and the salt lake marathon, so this is good. Although my participation in the salt lake marathon in entirely dependent on whether they accept my elite athlete application... which is not that strong for the marathon at the moment given that I bombed the Huntsville half and my good races last year were trail races and a local 5k. |
