| 50-63F. 7:42 AP. Yeah, finished up this run at 2pm and I actually felt hot out there, wow. I'll look back on this in July when it's 80 in the morning and laugh at myself. Good run, still need to work on keeping the easy runs even easier so I can nail my workouts. |

AM: 24F, 10 miles @ 8:03 AP. Last day of slogging today, then 16 x 400 tomorrow @ 3k-5k pace. That'll be quite a shock to the system...

34F. Down to the track for the dreaded 16 x 400. My only real guideline for pace was to keep it faster than 17:59/5k pace which is 86.3/lap. I did 200m active recoveries between repeats.
Average 84.6 (83.7, 85.6, 84.9, 83.6, 86.1, 87.0, 83.7, 84.9, 84.2, 84.9, 83.2, 84.6, 86.2, 83.9, 84.2, 83.3)
Standard deviation 1.1 sec, so kinda bounced around a little. For the 5th and 6th repeats, I changed my technique and relaxed the first 200 and tried to finish hard. But that actually produced the slowest splits. My best ones were when I ran the first 100 hard and held on for dear life, even though it meant tying up a bit at the end.
Back in June I did 12 x 400 and averaged 84.5, so this was probably a bit of improvement from that, since I'm sure I could have gone faster if I only had to do 12. My legs were also a bit heavy from the recent mileage today, so overall a decent session. No way I could have done 20 though...no way! | |

AM: 40F, NNE 18 mph. 6 @ 8:35 AP. Legs are less mushy than expected, so that's good. In the past, 400's have seemed to crush me worse than other workouts, as far as recovery goes. Hopefully will be good to go for some MP work on Sunday.
PM: 38F, 4 @ 8:44 AP. |

| 27F, N 14 mph. 7:44 AP. Filler miles. Felt pretty decent, should be ready to go for a tough MP run on Sunday. |

41F, 8:25 AP. Waited until it warmed up a bit, then headed out for a recovery run.
Last night I bought the airline tickets for Boston. The whole family is going and we'll stay with my aunt in Providence...making a little vacation out of it, Friday to Wednesday, since our Hawaii vacation was kinda ruined with me and Keira getting sick. After this it'll be local races only for awhile! | |
