Am: slept in a bit, hard to avoid the gloom and rain today so got it going and met up with Matt for a long run. Started by Trinity U and ran around alamo heights neighborhoods into the zoo. Around 6-7 miles we picked it up to 6 flat and for the next 10-12 miles we worked down to 5:20s and then gradually came back up to high 5:50s-6 flat until mile 20. Got technical and a bit slippery on the river walk, the time we were rolling 5:20-5:30 but we made do. Hammys and butt muscles sore from last nights 8x200m effort hard. But felt like this was good to focus on effort since I need to get use to running on tired legs/muscles. Woulda liked 25-26 but was a bit hashed and figured next weekend with 3 weeks out it can give the 26-27 mile day a go. Maybe the weather will cooperate. Overall feeling good about this week. Making strides forward as I focus on speed and turnover. Race weight is starting to head in the right direction. Total time for the run was around 2:25. So good overall split with the slower warm up and hills towards the end of the run.
