| Ran 12 miles today, my longest run to date. It took me 1:15, but I sped up on the second half, running it in 36 mins. I feel that I need to run longer distances, mainly because I need get in better aerobic shape. How fast I run in 5k and 10k races is solely dependent on my heart and lungs, not my leg power. I think that if I get in better aerobic shape, I can greatly reduce my times. | | Comments(1) |

| Ran 8.0 miles today in in great weather (about 70 degrees F). The course I ran was a fairly abrupt series of dirt hills, meaning that I went up one side and down the other, up another hill and again, down the backside. This was tough, especially since some of the hills were very steep. Although half of the run was downhill, it seems that the long uphills completely eliminate any stamina I had going. I ran the 8 miles in 47 minutes, but am very happy with my time due to the extensive twisting, turning and ups/downs of the hills. I am also practicing a new type of strategy for racing. At the beginning I run fast, but not at threshold. As the run proceeds, I slowly pull down on the trigger, attempting to run the last mile in under 5:30 pace. I think that this can help build up stamina and aerobic threshold. | | Comments(1) |

| Ran 8 miles total today. I ran 7 miles at 6:45/7:00 pace and finished with one mile at 5:15 pace. In all, legs felt heavy and the run felt very forced. | | Comments(2) |

| Ran 8.5 miles today at 6:45/7:00 pace. Felt grueling at first, but after two miles or so I felt ok. | | Add Comment |

| Ran 3x1600 meters today with a 400 meter jog between intervals. I forgot my watch (of course you forget it when you need it), but my body clock told me that I was running in the neighborhood of a 5:15 mile. Although the workout did not last a particularly long time, it sucked all the strength out of me by the last 800 meters. I believe this occurs because of the rest time (slow jog between intervals). My heart rate slows down and body becomes more relaxed, so when I take off again, my body needs to work hard to get back up to high "rpm's". I ran a one mile warm up and a one mile cool down. | | Comments(1) |
