Ken's Life On The Go

SCPW 7.63mi. I'm feeling really good right now. Legs strong, heart and lungs right on track. I wish the SGM was this week. I have to keep this fitness level without any injury.

This afternoon I ran over to the gym and put in 3 progressively faster miles/ Each mile started at 6:00 pace. Then every tenth of a mile I increased the speed one level, which is about 3-4 sec. per mile ave. By the last tenth I was running 5:26 pace. On the last mile I started at 5:57 and just kept increasing the pace down to 5:00. I ran a cool down mile in between each of those miles. The cool down was at 6:27 pace.

By the way, I went to bed at about 8:30 last night. I am going to have to do that a lot more often.

Ran pretty comfortably this morning. I ran over toward the finish line of SGM. Didn't sleep real good last night, but still felt pretty good. 6:41 ave.

Ran to Anytime Fitness then ran 5.25 on the treadmill. I ran pretty comfortably at around 7:00 pace.

SCPW out and back this evening. I ate too much dinner too close to the run. Coming home was ok. My feet are a little sore.

SCPW really easy run. I'm feeling kind of tired and over-all fatigued.

I ran at the gym today. I wanted to stay off of the SGM downhill and rest my knees. My splits were:

7:00

6:30

6:00

5:40

5:30

5:15 finishing at 4:50 pace.

I'm feeling encouraged about not losing any speed through all of the long miles this year.
