Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
10.25	6.00	0.00	0.00	16.25

AM: Aerobic Builder - 12 miles, averaged 7:14 overall. 3 up/down w/ 6-mile tempo @ 6:35 pace: 6:37, 6:37, 6:36, 6:38, 6:36, 6:27. Did these on a partial loop of a longer tempo loop because I almost got hit last week by a car blindly turning right. A Garmin and a very flat .5 mile loop go a long way for the consistency above.

PM: Rest Haven Cemetery - 4.25 miles, averaged 8:03. DRY.

Newton Trainer 5 Miles: 4.25	Saucony Fastwitch Miles: 12.00

Solid. There's something to be said for not feeling like you're going to be hit by a car on a tempo run.

From Matt Schreiber on Wed, Sep 04, 2013 at 20:46:13 from 66.17.102.185

Joe's right. That couldn't have hurt the consistency either. Great workout.

What Joe and Matt said. Very Solid Jason. Those kinds of workouts will really pay off.

Yes, lately I have been running in circles (in cemeteries mostly, as in life :) ). The plan is to use these for strength and aerobic capacity, fat burning, keeping volume up, and so on. I'll do these all fall and throughout basebuilding for Boston to see just how much I can cut the pace down (patiently of course). I usually do them in my marathon buildups, but not weekly. That will change.
