AM: 3.65 because my workout later is going to be longish.
PM: 6x1mile at threshold pace with 200m recovery. Was meaning to do cutdown starting at 6:16 but my first mile was 6:02 but felt easy so I continued with 5:58, 5:54, 5:46 shiit meant to hit 5:50 so I tried once more for that time and managed 5:48 oh well, then ran 5:36 last mile because I could without too too much difficulty. It was raining and between fatigue and not wanting water in my eyes I was closing them a lot and in the last lap I had one of those, "oh shit, I have to drive this boat" feelings as I went in the grass on the straight lol. Very solid workout. Especially since im a bit sore from monday's workout still. Luckily the 3rd workout this week is easy just getting a feel for the pace of vo2max. Seems like I should be able to do continuous 5 mile tempo at 6 min pace or just below given this workout. That seems very promising.

Pshhhh, maybe too hard, but it's not like i'm doing 6 miles a day or something lol. the mileage will build up. this week'll be 45 again prolly, but then 50 next week, 55 the week after, etc. The long runs will get longer, too. whatevaaaa lol

i might think about doubling up a little. it'd be like run with jake, then run again after he left, though. no time in the morning to wake up and get in a run..

My morning run today was at 5:30am. You do have time to run in the morning. But you can tell yourself whatever you want. What you should do is convince jake to slow down on easy days, you run extra those days. Then by running actually easy on easy days you will do better workouts one workouts days and recover from them which is where you actually improve.

I guess so. He's pretty set on doing what his coach says (which for some reason is for them to go no slower than 7:10 pace on easy days... what.). Anyway, nice workout! 3 workouts this week? Dang. Today's another one of those tempos for me.
