Lots of laps, mostly solo. Did some drills and lots of accelerations. Felt great when I was done. It was nice to shed the Hokas and run in some lighter shoes, and also to do some nice uptempo stuff.

Mostly easy at home with some pickups near the end. Horrible air quality with the fire, so indoors was the only viable option.

Another smoky day outside and I had some time, so I worked out at Axiom Park Center. After some stretching and light core and weights, I did a progression run of 9:12, 8:16, 7:47, 7:24, 6:37 and 3:12 (half mile) followed by a short cool down. Felt pretty strong but didn't want to push it too much further. Will add more time as I get more consistent.

Ran from the rental. Mostly easy pace but felt pretty good. Achilles sore even with Hokas (maybe more than with regular trainers) so I may give the other shoes a shot for a while.

From downtown. Ave pace of 7:48/mile. Achilles really sore in the Asics - need to use orthotics or retire the shoes.

Did a little work at the track to practice running sub 6:00/mile pace again. Started real easy with 4 x 200 at 43 and 1 x 400 at 1:29. Speedwork and Hokas do not really mesh.
0.4 miles later in the evening.
15 minutes weights, core and stretching
