I'm starting to really enjoy this weekly mile repeat workout. I think I need to work more on fast running (400s, 800s, and more explosive things), but I really think these mile repeats are helping me get a little more comfortable with a faster pace. As I build my mileage, I plan on coming back to this workout to gauge my fitness. The times for the 3 1-mile repeats were 5:53, 5:51, and 5:52. I think the last one would have been faster if it weren't for some digestive issues (my last quarter was far off pace). I started with a 1-mile warmup and had 800 in between each mile. I finished with a .75 mile cooldown. I feel pretty good since it's been less than a month since St. George. As for spring marathons, Boston will have to wait, so I'm looking for some spring races. I'll be trying to keep a solid base through the winter and spring in hopes of running a fast fall marathon.
