15 miles in the morning.
I woke up early to get some miles in before the indoor track meet at Weber State. I did the first 10 miles at 6:00/mile pace and then hit the next 2 and a half miles at 5:19/mile pace and then did a half mile at around 5:00/mile pace. Afterwards I did a 2 mile cooldown. It was nice to push the pace for a couple miles this morning. The indoor track meet went well today considering it was the first meet of the season. Many of the boys hadn't broken 6:00 min. for the mile but many of them went low 5:30's or faster which was nice to see. Also, the girls 4x 800m relay took second behind Davis. I think with the base right now and then getting on the track to do interval work with help the runners get that much faster.
I got home and was a touch tired but the legs were needing a few easy miles to loosen up. I did 5 miles and then called it a day. I was happy with this week because it was the week after a half marathon and I had some big workouts without any continual soreness in my legs. Glad to be done for the week though. |
