A tempo run on the treadmill. Warm-up and cooldown with a 5K at 6:49. Felt good on the legs, but always tedious indoors.

Used the treamill for some hill repeats. Warmed up with 1.5 miles at 8:30, then cranked up the incline to 6.5% for 4 x 400m with 400m recovery interval at same pace, zero incline. Sweaty but strong.

Flat and easy on the bike path to finish up the weekly mileage and recover from hill intervals.

Nice start to the week with warm temperatures (65) and sun. Ran out and back on Glendale Road with nine miles at long run pace (8:15) and finished with two miles at "hard" effort, which ended up being about tempo/lactate threshold pace. Hamstrings seemed a little tight during the run, but no problems afterward.

Treadmill tempo run. Set at 6:49/mile pace for the middle 3.25 miles. Very strong and relaxed for the final 1.5 miles of the tempo part.

All I could get in on the treadmill at 7:50 pace. Looking to be consistent at 40 mpw for about three weeks before I build to 50-60 mpw in 2010.

Hilly loop around school for six miles and finished with 1.5 miles on the treadmill. Overall averaged about eight-minute miles. The 5 x 15 second hill sprints. Quads a bit sore afterward.

First 10 at about 8:12/mile out and back on Glendale Road, then pushed the last two miles at hard pace which ended up being 6:40 miles (right around 10K goal pace). Hamstrings a bit tight/sore to start but loosened up. Pushing the last two miles felt good.

Progression run on a beautiful late fall day. Sunny around 50 degrees. Ran the first seven a little over eight-minute miles. Picked it up to 6:44 pace for a mile, then 6:26 (right at 5K pace) for a mile and finished with a strong 6:22 pace for the final mile. Definitely a tough workout and mentally challenging. Trying to translate this type of fast finish run into a stronger final mile in my 5K Saturday.
