AM 8.6

First workout for about a week. Hamstring feeling better but decided to go with an aerobic builder instead of something faster. Had some minor issues from low salt during the workout (pain in arms, nausea and some hearing loss), so I was happy with the time.

Long run with Allie. My first run over 12 miles in several months. I stay away from long runs in the summer now, but the weather was cool. I definitely got tired at the end.

I'm thinking about doing some XC races this fall so I went to Woodland park to scope out some good spots to do some training. Found a big loop around that is 1.75 miles that might be good for tempo run style workouts. Also found a 1000m loop with some wicked (but runnable) hills.

Decided to do some hill repeats on the big grass field. Allie and I decided to call this the marble hill for reasons that I have legit already forgotten.

Anyway I did 4 marble hills in 28.7, 27.1, 25.7, and 24.9. I will have to figure out how far that hill is. (136m, equivalent to 156m on a track).

AM 8.7 "1000" loop workout at Woodland Park. I say "1000" because the course is actually 890m, however it is very hilly. There is 110 feet of climbing and about 100feet of descent (start and end in different spots), meaning that on average there is an 8% grade either up or down. All of that means that the course tool say it is equivalent to about 990m flat.

I did 6 loops with 1 minute recovery.

3:17.6, 3:18.9, 3:12.5, 3:17.5, 3:17.7, 3:09.7

It's tough.

AM 8.6 (but a different 8.6 miles than yesterday!)

7 mile aerobic builder in 42:49. Wasn't that hot but very sticky. Probably should have gone with a singlet. Ran a little faster than last week and felt a little better too, although there was still some nausea at the end. Will be interesting to see what I can do when we return to optimal fiddy weather.

Splits of 5:29, 5:40, 5:40, and :31

Basically identical to the earth day run on the same course in April. I had no one to run with this time, but the lead pace bike guy helped a little. Definitely pushed myself very hard in this one.

AM 4.34 mile tempo run in 25:13, a 23 second improvement from my run prior to Seattle RNR, with 22 of those 23 seconds opening up in the last 1.34 miles. Could I have another PR in me? All I know is my gut says "maybe".
