| | Rest day at the beach, I run a few miles on the shoreline just to enjoy the light breeze. | | Add Comment |
| | Nothing really special about tonight's run, just 7.5 miles in preparation of tomorrow night fast training. As added bonus I run with a guy who does only 800-1500m, he was doing his "long" run, it was really nice to share a completely different running perspective. | | Add Comment |
| | Great workout tonight 5 x 1600m with 3:00 jogging in between. These were my splits: 6:25, 6:18, 6:14 (at this point I was feeling really great and I was hoping I could keep lowering my time), 6:18 (still good but definitively a reality check) and final one in 6:21 (I really wanted to keep it under 6:20 but the final 200 m were slightly uphill and my legs were already done). I am very happy timewise about this training, I hit the same splits did last week but the feeling this time was great throughout the whole workout, I had no problem to maintain the pace.

| | 8 recovery miles in 1:13. Today I had the "after-a-big-training-run" blues. Yesterday I was on top of the world, today after the first 1600m in 11minutes I started doubting about my progresses. I know that yesterday training run was not fake, but it takes a while and more similar training runs to completely trust them, in order to go faster in a race.
Enough mental micromanaging, time to go to bed.

| | Busy day at work and at home. 8 miles in 1:12. My legs are recovering very well. | | Add Comment |
| | I didn't have enough time to run my usual 8, 6.2 in 59 minutes and change nothing fast in preparation for tomorrow long run. I am really tired right, time to go to bed (9pm).

| | Longish run with the following scheme: 4X5000m with 1k recovery. These were my splits: 1k 6:11/km 1X5000 4:30/km average 1k 5:25/km 1X5000 4:30/km average 1k 5:54/km 1X5000 4:27/km average 1k 5:52/km 1X5000 4:25/km average A few hundred meters of cooldown for a total of 15 miles in 1:53:00 4:42/km average. One of those training run when everything went as planned, especially because I was alone and even at 7:30am when I started it was already hot.
