Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
6.00	8.00	14.00

AM: 71F, 84%. 14 @ 7:13 AP. 6-mile warmup, followed by 8 @ AT. Averaged 6:40/mile (6:41, 6:39, 6:44, 6:40, 6:33, 6:41, 6:42, 6:36). Always tough to feel out the correct effort this time of year, but I think I was right on this morning, given that the last couple miles felt pretty rough.

Right now, I'm targeting 1 workout a week from a rotation of 4 different paces (5k, 10k, LT, AT) to try stay in good general shape.

PM: no time

Saucony A5 Red Miles: 14.00

Weight: 144.40

Good workout and good plan for the workouts. You'll stay sharp but won't kill yourself with the higher miles.

From Tom K on Wed, Jun 10, 2015 at 17:35:45 from 174.58.54.215

6:40 sounds good for December! I like the generalized plan strategy. You still have 5 months until the first of the "Races I'm thinking about", so why beat yourself up - trying to stick to some rigid plan? There's plenty of time for that later.

You are doing high miles on the non-workout days, right? I think that is a great long-term plan, because you can adjust the speed on non-workout days to achieve the right sustainability and recovery rates.
