Of Mice and Marathons

West Lafayette High School track - 9.09 miles, averaged 7:58

 6 x 1000m (5k-10k pace) with 2:30 recovery jog. 2 mile warm up and cool down. 

1. (4:09.7), 2. (4:08.5), 3. (4:08.3), 4. (4:04.1), 5. (4:02.8), 6. (3:52.1)

First few repeats were right on, but still felt a bit slow. Good progression throughout, however, so this session was successful. First shorter interval session in a little while, and first official track session of the season. Glad to be running faster sessions off the road.

Jefferson High School loop, extended version - 8.25 miles, averaged 8:19

Union to Creasy to Rome/Courtland - 8.5 miles averaged, 7:38

2 mile warm up, 4 mile tempo (6:58, 6:55, 6:55, 6:45) , 2.5 mile cool down

Lower 70s but the humidity was pretty high. Much warmer than when I did the Hanson Brother's workout in this area a few weeks ago when it was in the upper 40s.

Old Standby - 6.6 miles, no watch

Union to Rome to Courtland area to Creasy to Greenbush/Munger Park through the Vinton woods and picked up the final 2-3 miles of Old Standby - 11 miles, averaged 8:39

High humidity, but a good breeze and occasional cloud cover. Avoided the thunderstorms, thankfully. Stopped for a bit of water at Munger Park. 

Old Standby - 6.6 miles, no watch. Beautiful day. Another 50 mile week.
