AM - 8 miles easy (64 minutes). First mile was 9:42, so it was actually quite a negative split run! PM - 10 miles. Tempo reps on the track - 2 x 5K in 16:25 (5:18, 5:15, 5:14, :38), 16:19 (5:16, 5:14, 5:11, :38). Jogged a lap in-between. Had a harder workout on the schedule for today, but since I had a good workout on Tuesday, then a big mileage day yesterday, I thought it would be wiser to not push the envelope too much. 5K reps @ MP were a good substitute - quality miles, but not overly taxing... doing these on the track is excellent practice for the monotony of the marathon.You just zone out. ---------------------------------
One of my favorite blogs, Sweat Science, has moved to Runner's World. This is from Alex's first post at the new location, on a topic very relevant to those of us who live in the SLC valley: If you have the choice between running alongside a river or running alongside a four-lane highway, choose the former every time. But if you're choosing between running on a polluted day or not exercising at all, this study should tilt you in favor of lacing up the shoes.
