AM - 20x400m jogging the bend as recovery. Started off with 77's and 78's and worked it down to 72's and 73's, so nothing too hard, just a good aerobic effort. Took a two lap recovery after number 10. After 16 I realized people were probably going to be on the track soon so I decided to do 18 instead and try to crank the last 2 in spikes. Did 59 low and 59 high, and MAN it hurt! The lactic acid really started to pile up around #12, but I'm happy with that because it gives me practice for powering through when I'm getting tired and tightening up. Drove home and cooled down the long way to the canal and iced(I'm still in the creek while I type this).

PM - glad I did so much of the daily mileage this morning because I woke up at 9PM(work starts at 10) and 2 miles was all I had time for. I just woke up and immediately found some shorts and shoes and took off so I had a lot of stiffness to work out that first half mile or so.

*with some slight improvements. Like waiting until I'm fully mature to do 120 mile weeks lol.

Eva, Garek was a high school runner who quit the blog about a year ago(he still runs, for University of Texas). He, along with Conner Mantz(who gets back from his mission in Africa in a couple weeks to run at BYU) were the best high school bloggers to have ever been on the blog. They both won Nationals and they both represented the USA in XC. Conner was good as soon as he started running, he was going to nationals by the time he was a sophomore. But Garek, the summer before his senior year he trained like an absolute madman, and basically was unstoppable all XC and indoor season. He was known for doing more mileage than most marathoners on here, my 80 mile week would be about the lowest mileage he would do. He took a week off after winning indoor nationals in the 2 mile and started training back up again. The problem is, you can't just start doing 100 miles a week after not running for a week. So he got injured.

If you ever have some free time, go to Garekb.fastrunningblog.com and look at his training from July 2015-march 2016(when he stopped blogging). It's really something else.
