Why was this not the best run?

Looks like this week was much better than the last one - 55 vs. 39. Sustained 55 carries you over into a different domain in all long distances, even the 5 K, compared to 39.
Can you enter as much as you remember of your workouts since the beginning of the year so we can see some patterns?
Sasha, I only started training again 3 weeks ago. I stopped at the first of Nov because I coach wrestling at Dixie High School. Then I started back up at the end of Feb. My weeks prior to last were 35-39 miles for those weeks. I went into Nov training and weighing 165. I came back in Feb weighing 175. I am now about 167 would like to be about 162 for prim running weight. I think that this week I'll cut back a little. I will try and ride a bike on days I don't run as much. I felt like I went a little too far last week. I was just dead at the end of the run on Sat. Legs felt like noodles. There is a 10k this Sat and I'd like to have some gas in the tank to run that race.

I think the way you felt on Sat. just has to do with your increase of miles so quickly. I feel listening to your body is #1 priority and cutting back, taking it slower and adding some cross training will help out more than trying to push up the miles again this week. Look at Allen, he only runs 3 days a week at 48 and he kept with us the whole way on Sat. There's something to be said for cross training.
That's why I'm going sledding today!
