AM - 5 mile shakeout

AM2 - 8 mile w/u, 8x100m w/ 100m walking rec, mile cd. timed #2 and #7, 13.99 and 13.02.

felt so much easier and smoother than the 200's last week. felt like i was able to tweak my form a little bit on every one until i was cruising those last couple. hopefully i'm not too tired next tuesday from the tempo run because that 3x300 could be really fun if i'm feeling good. my PR for that workout is something like 40.2, 40.3, 40.2 which i don't think i'll beat, but still. ran the easiest 6:30 of my life that first mile of the warmup, felt like pure jogging.

PM - 5 easy + gym. kept the running extra easy to keep the legs feeling good for the next 3 days

Very interesting those 2 AM runs and you are consistent with them too. I hope this is not too personal of a question about the rice and beans issues lol are you on plant based diet because it took me a very long time (one year) to run without trouble eating beans and lentil before running? I just love to learn from others experiences.

for the most part, yes it is plant-based. if i give myself about 6 hours after eating the rice and beans to run i’m usually fine, but more of the reason for it being a staple in my diet is being a poor college student than anything else.

back when i hit my first big mileage jump around last july/august i did 2 AM runs, but that was more of a shakeout to warmup for a longer easy run; i only gave myself about 45 minutes between the two runs. now that i’m doing workouts i give myself about 3 hours of space which is nice but it also means waking up at 4:00AM every morning. not as fun. easier than 45 mile, 4-run days though.
