Today marked the completion of easily the best training week this year. I went from high 70s mileage to low 90s and nailed both speed workouts....and....I'm healthy.
Today I did 3x1.5M with 3.5 mins rest between each. My coach had me do them in 7:37 (5:05 pace) but I felt really good and wound up doing them in 7:28, 7:31, 7:29.
From there I ran about 12 miles along the Snoqualmie Valley Trail to Remlinger Farms in Carnation where I met up with the family to pick 38 pounds of raspberries. The weather was gorgeous and the raspberries are tasty. We now have a ridiculous amount of raspberry freezer jam. We also got some blueberries. Very tasty.
Anyway. I'm very happy with how the week went. It's the first time I've been in the 90s for weekly mileage since late February. Next week I will back off to the high 70s to give myself some time to recover and because i have a pretty important 8k race on Saturday.
Hard to believe I've almost pur 100 miles on my Supernovas since getting them last Saturday. I so love them. The Trance 7s are now retired.
