25 minutes weights/abs
8 treadmill miles with 6 hill climbs for .25 mile at 3.5%. 62 minutes. Sprinted out the last 800 at 6:40 pace. I have no idea how I held that pace for the entire half because it felt hard.
PM: 2 miles easy. |

I slept in this morning (yes 5:50am is considered sleeping in to me) and decided to dedicate my morning to a real "workout" instead of just running easy miles. This was my first attempt at speedwork since way before SGM. I have a 5k coming up on Thanksgiving and decided I need to try a few speed workouts before the race. I hate 5ks so I have to mentally prepare myself.
1.5 mile warm up 8:34 pace
5x800's at about 3:09, 6:20 pace
800 rest in between at 8:34 pace
2x400's in 90 seconds, 6:00 pace
cooldown 8:34 pace.
Total= 8.5 miles, 65 minutes. As a side note I was on the treadmill at the gym that I swear has an automatic incline. Maybe it is just in my head but I had it set at .5 for the workout and it felt like it was way more inclined. I finished as a sweaty beast but it was a good workout. |

10 miles on the treadmill. 8 at 8:04 pace and last 2 at 7:28. overall time was 79 minutes.
I did shoulders at the gym as well.
After I ran to a baptism I saw my friend Julia out doing her LR for the week so I ran the last 8 miles with her. 8 miles at 9:26 AP. It was a fun run and the weather was actually perfect except the last 2 miles when we were fighting wind. Always fun to run with a friend. |

ran a few miles at the track while I waited for Julia. I felt like I was running really easy but ended up with a 7:40 pace. It is always hard for me to slow my pace at the track.
We walked for an hour and then watched the NYCM on TV. Always so inspiring to watch the elites. Crazy fast! |

| weights & abs first for 25 minutes. chatted with Susan and Merri a bit. They are both getting completely ripped and look amazing. I am jealous but way to stubborn to give up my running.
Treadmill run: My legs felt really fresh so I decided to try some mile repeats. I have a couple of friends that have been doing this and it has really improved their speed.
Slow miles were 8:06 pace
Fast miles averaged 6:22 pace.
Overall = 9 miles, 1% incline, 68 minutes.

Weights - shoulders.
8 miles on the treadmill/64 minutes. I kept a fairly consistent pace but upped the incline to 4% for every last quarter of a mile. This helped to keep the run interesting and not completely boring. |

planks, push-ups, and sit-up.
Speed workout on treadmill. 11x400's all at about 6min AP. 90 seconds.
400 meter rest in between at 8:34 pace.
I kept the incline at 1% for the most part but dropped down to .5% for the last couple. This was a tough workout but felt really good to complete.
Total: 8.1 miles, 60 minutes.

Ran outside 9 miles, 7:53 pace. A little too fast for a recovery run but in my defense I was freezing and picked it up in an attempt to stay warm. :)
PM: Went to the gym to lift weights. Ran an easy 3 mile warmup on the treadmill. |

weights first.
1 mile repeats on the treadmill. Holy crud this workout kicked my butt. Slow miles were 8:27 pace and fast miles were 6:31-6:18 pace. I wanted to die and ended up dropping the incline down to 0 by the last 2 repeats. Not sure why these felt so hard (legs just did not want to move fast) but I pushed through it and got it done.
8.6 miles, 64 minutes.

upper body weights.
8 miles on the treadmill with 7 hill sprints.
first .75 of each mile @7:48 pace, 1%
.25 hill climbs @8:00 pace, 4%
Legs felt pretty fatigued this morning and my right shin is bothering me a bit so I think its a sign that I better skip speedwork this week. We will see how I feel in the morning. |

Abs & pushups. 80 pushups this morning, new personnal record. woo hoo!
21 minutes elliptical
6 treadmill miles, 1% incline.
1 mile warmup, 8:06 pace
4 miles at some sort of tempo pace, 6:58
1 mile cooldown, 8:06 pace
The tempo pace felt much harder than it should have. I'm not sure whats going on with me lately but I just have no running mo-jo and am way content with running slow. Oh well I'm not really training for anything so I guess its okay to back off the speed for a while.
PM: easy run watching the sunset. It was way to gorgeous of a night to not be outside. 2.5 miles. |

I wanted to get my LR out of the way today since I have family coming into town tomorrow and it is suppose to snow. I 100% anticipated to run this outside but as the wind kept me up half the night and nearly blew me over when I took the dog to the bathroom in the morning I decided I didn't want to fight it. Checked the weather first before I left just incase and it confirmed 30-40mph winds. (what the hell payson?) When I got to SF there was no wind at all and I was mad! I should have brought my garmin and figured out a place to run there.
Anyway to the treadmill I dreadfully went. It wasn't too bad of a run really once I changed my attitude. 15 miles in 2 hours. First 13 @8:06 pace and last 2 at goal marathon tempo pace 7:35.
Weight pre run 117.8
post run 115.0
I did eat some chomp blocks halfway through the run but obviously did not hydrate very well. I really need to work on this. |

Let me preface this by saying I had a terrible attitude going into this race. I cursed the whole way home after I picked up my packet last night. Why was I torturing myself with a 5k? None of my friends were running it, the hoodie they gave me was 5 sizes to small, it was 30 minutes away from my house. blah, blah, blah.
I woke up this morning and decided I needed to change my attitude. I had already paid and I knew it would be good for me to push myself outside of my comfort zone. I really needed this race to gage how to train for Boston and knew that without a doubt I was capable of PR'ing.
Got to the race early and decided to run the course as a warmup. I met a guy (Randal) and we decided to warm up together. It was nice to run the course as a warmup because it gave me an idea of what I was up against. Very glad that I did this because there was about 20 turns throughout the course and it was good to know where they were. The race started as soon as we got done with the warm up.
Mile 1: 6:16 - Got a little too caught up in the hype and went out to fast. (typical Rachelle).
Mile 2: 6:38 - I knew I needed to slow this mile down if I wanted any chance of setting a PR. focused on getting me breathing under control and figuring out a way to round all of the turns without loosing my form. I thought I was having an asthma attack (I don't even have asthma) in the first half of this mile but was able to get it under control.
Mile 3: 6:42 - Just keep pushing, just keep pushing. Fading but able to hang on.
.10: 5:51 - kicked it and finished strong.
Overall I am happy with my time but it is disheartening to come that close to sub-20. I feel that if I would have paced this smarter I would have been capable of sub-20. With that said I beat my time from last year on this course by 2 minutes 38 seconds and it is a 45 second 5k PR for me so I cannot be dissapointed in that.
Sorry for the long report on a 5k. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! |

Did a progressive run at the track. My legs were way fatigued from running up Payson canyon yesterday so I figured it would be good to push myself and stimulate the last 6 miles of a marathon on fatigued legs.
Mile 1: 8:18
Mile 2: 7:35
Mile 3: 7:32
Mile 4: 7:29
Mile 5: 7:15
Average: 7:35 (right where I hope to be for Boston in April.)
East runs for the rest of the week as I am running Las Vegas RnR marathon next Sunday. I will be running with my friend Julia the entire way and pacing her for sub-4. Any words of advice on pacing? |
