Early PM treadmill run at the gym:

Started it off slow at 7mph and let the legs really loosen up at easy pace for a while (~4.5mi.), cranked it up to MP for the AT buildup run similar to the coaching that I saw old man Salazar give Rupp (the day after his 3:50 mile :))  4 mi. AeroThreshold BU start at MP: 9.3mph cut down to 10k pace @ 10.2mph.  25:35 for 4 mi. - Bad thing about treadmills is no splits or data to see afterward.  

30 min. legs&core - really working on the abs.

3 mi. easy shaking it out - 25:00

Long slow run today - neighborhood loop, house to Grandview, Grandview Loop with the group.  Running with the group helped to distract me in to running in the lower 7:00's for the last 10 or so, at least.  5 of us today in the 55 degree weather.  Long and painful today, otherwise.

20.57mi. - 2:41:04

To make myself feel better I weighed myself afterward :)  Amazingly, I weigh much less after long runs... :)

PM treadmill at the gym:

I'm really wanting to hone in on the difference between 5k pace and 10 k pace and finishing in each race with a strong last half mile.  The good news is that the 1 mile rep and 0.75mi. rep felt good after the 2 miles and short(ish) recovery.

WU,

2 mi. @ 10.5mph - 11:25, rec. 0.25@ 7.5mph (2min.),

1 mi. @ 10.7mph - 5:36 ,rec. 0.25@ 7.5mph (2min.),

0.75mi. @ 11mph - 4:05, rec. 0.25@ 7.5mph (2min.),

0.5 mi. @ 11.2mph - 2:40,

CD 

10 mi. total - 70:18

PM - easy 10 mi. on the treadmill at the gym.  Recovery pace - 7mph - the whole way.  Nice and easy with drills and a few short bursts afterward.  Wintry mix and 25 deg. tonight, 52 deg. tomorrow - welcome to Indiana...

AM: easy 2 mi. jog around the hood with my dawg - about 11 minute pace :)

PM: Time trial day with the group:

WU - 1.5 mi. w/ strides,

1mi. - 5:10 - Going out in 1:15 for first 400m didn't really help me much.  At around 600m, the legs felt very heavy and I began to struggle with the pace.  Full recovery - 800m jogging

800m - 2:26.  Again, 400m was 0:69, but I could not sustain.  Full recovery - 800m jogging

400m - 1:02.  Slower than last attempt - attribute this to the strenuous 1mi. and 800m.  Full rec.,

2x800m threshold - 2:46, 2:45

Cooldown a lap.  This is difficult with the group, didn't really get to do all I wanted to do, but it was good to have people there to run with.

PM2: slow 2.5mi. on the treadmill before the UK game - Go Cats
