5 at 7:50AM. slept in. slightly faster last mile trying to catch the marine trainees that started running about 300m ahead of me, caught all but one.

 

10 at 11:10AM. would have gone earlier if i had woken up earlier/hadn’t done laundry. picked it up to about 5-flat pace for the last half mile. felt natural. i think to ease into fast running when i’ve been at full mileage for a bit(probably late september) i should introduce fast running by doing faster closes on my second runs for a couple weeks before real workouts cross my mind, since i’ve already been running for a while it’s hard to go fast enough to break down muscles.

 

5 at 6:30PM. a bit earlier than usual; i’m trying to move all my runs earlier in the day to account for school and i figured i can’t wake up at 5AM until i finish my third run before 9PM. first triple with all three runs 7-minute pace. not trying for it, just been feeling good today. listened to droptopwop by gucci mane and metro boomin, that tape was basically all i listened to fall 2017. still thumps, would recommend

Good thinking. Too much stress with that kind of mileage can be dangerous. Doing longer strides (35-45 seconds) in sets can help you bridge mileage with more traditional, involved workouts.

Smart thinking Eugene, to let your body feel itself out on the faster pace runs. I am just starting to feel like my old self again, so I am trying to train smart as well.

thanks guys. Jason, i totally agree. while the mileage makes me feel better doing aerobic work, with that much stress from the easy running alone it feels like that fine line between “not enough” and “too much” has gotten much finer. Kenny, good to hear old pal!! you’re doing great on the yearly mileage board. i think the highest i’ve ever gotten was somewhere between 15-20 at the end of 2016.
