Blake Bennions running

Really nice run today. Just ran up and along pleasent view drive. Turning into my route for every Sunday.

4x1000, 4x600. 2 minutes rest between them all. Went 3:12, 3:15, 3:17, 3:19, 1:58, 1:56, 1:55, 1:54. The original purpose of the workout was to cut down from 40 second 200m to 39, 38, 37, 36.. by rep 3 or so I was just trying to hang on.

Good to get the workout done, but not exactly confidence inspiring in terms of going sub 16. To be fair my legs and lungs felt pretty wrecked today going into it. A good taper will do me a lot of good, and if I can go sub 16:30 at the u invite I'll order the endorphin pros early, between those and a good taper anything is possible. Well maybe sub 16 is possible, probably not "anything".

Little over half with Jake, had a Reuben and a bunch of cabbage immediately before running. Homemade Reuben turned out surprisingly well, like I'd rather make that again than have probably 80% of the Reubens I've had at restaurants... I've had too many Reubens over the last few years, there's only so many unique things about Columbus though, and Germantown was one of them.

I need a good tempo run on Thursday to restore my confidence after yesterdays workout. Not so much the pace as the feel. If I can average sub 5:50 for 5 miles and feel good doing it on Thursday that will be huge.

Easy stroller run

2 mile warm up and then 5 mile tempo and 6 30 second strides. Didn't feel amazing but got through it. Phone also died so I'm unsure of pace. I stuck with Jake the first 3 miles average mid 5:50s and then he pulled away with the last two miles in 5:35 and 5:13. I'd estimate I stayed around 5:50s.

Feeling the mileage and heavy workload in my legs.

Little shake out. Legs have been awfully beat up this month, and honestly last month too. Next week will be easier. I probably was a little ambitious jumping up to a goal of 250 miles in March, but I am on pace and there's only 10 days left. I'm am feeling pretty run down on days where I'm supposed to be running fast. But I think I'll get a big fitness boost after the next couple weeks have a little less intensity and mileage.

Long run with Jake. I am am definitely feeling the mileage. In some ways this was the hardest long run in a while. Somewhat considering pulling back from my goal of 250 miles since it seems like I'm overtraining, but I'm also so close and I don't really have to push to finish out. I just need 50 this week and then my normal days next Sunday and Monday.

I think I'm starting to get a little overtrained, leaning towards taking tomorrow off.
