AM: 10 miles, 1.5 fast with two 1200s and finished with one 200. Felt easy.
Midday thoughts...
Grading myself:
Mileage (80%)- I think my mileage is decent and its time for some consistency from week to week.
Speed (60%)- I need to run more honest intervals and work up to 4-5 miles of effort per session. Similarly, my speed across this week should account for 12% of my total mileage.
Nutrition (20%)- Has been absolutely terrible. Meat every meal, useless sugar when I am not hungry, over-eating, and lack of vegetables have been the biggest offenders... This week I will focus on transitions in food choices.
Racing weight (20%)- This week I will focus a reduction in overall calories. Goal weight loss is 3 pounds healthily. Weight is about 16 pounds higher than ideal race weight but 4 pounds better than it was. I am a fatty magoo.
PM: Workout- 4x1600 with 800 recoveries, 9+ total miles. The recoveries were entirely too long, but the group wanted to have them longer so I conceded. I was happy with my final two miles, but again started too conservatively.
Splits- 5:29, 5:20, 5:13, 4:59
