Final running day in Eastern Oregon before heading home tomorrow. I love running in Bend. There are so many paths and trails and places to run along the river. Lots of diverse terrain and plenty of elevations.
Workout today was 3 sets of 5x200m at :34/:33/:32/:33/:34 with about 40 seconds rest between 200s and 2:30 rest between sets. After a 5-mile warmup I hit the track.
Set 1--:33/:34/:32/:33/:34
Set 2 -- :33/:33/:32/:33/:33
Set 3 -- :34/:33/:32/:34/:32
This is a great workout because it's short but for a guy with no foot speed like me, it is still quite challenging. I felt the effects of altitude for the first time mostly in a shortness of breath. No biggie, but it was noticeable for the first time.
So another really good week of training. I crossed the 90-mile threshold for the first time since September of last year. I followed that week up with 102 miles and then went injured and missed my fall marathon. So 91 will be it for me. I have a race next weekend so next week will be lighter anyway.
I feel really good. Hope to stay injury free. |
