31F, 7:36 AP. Early-morning jaunt to/around Apache and back. Squeezed it in before 8:30 mass, which cost me a bit of sleep, but I have a somewhat busy day so this was the solution.
I made sure the pace was slower than 7:30, and most miles were in the 7:30-7:50 sweet spot of easy running - fast enough to get a good aerobic stimulus, but slow enough so I won't pay for it recovery-wise. I have an MP wave run Wednesday which I'm kinda looking forward to in a sick way. |

AM: 51F, foggy. 15 @ 7:12 AP. Today I did my MP wave run. The workout was an 8-mile tempo, alternating 15 sec faster, then 15 sec slower than MP. To ensure I met the intent of the workout, I did this at the track so I wouldn't get lopsided efforts on the hills and could control my pace more precisely.
So 7.95 mile (12,800m) tempo in 52:34 which is 6:36/mile. 1600m splits were 6:21, 6:52, 6:18, 6:49, 6:18, 6:48, 6:17, 6:51.
I was initially shooting for something like 6:25/6:55 for the fast/slow 1600s, but it was obvious that was not quite providing the stimulus so I dropped down a bit and ended up averaging 6:18.5/6:50. Even at those paces, it was honestly pretty easy for a "workout." I guess I shouldn't be that surprised since I just did 10 @ 6:31. So this is the second MP-type workout in a row that is coaxing me under 6:40 for a GMP. I am trying to be conservative about this little improvement spurt though, so I don't run myself into the ground and erase the gains. It's a good dilemma to have, at least.
PM: 57F, SE 17 mph. 4 @ 9:10 AP. |

AM: 57F, S 14 mph. 6 @ 8:50 AP. These recovery runs are the only thing keeping my legs alive. I've got another week of tough stuff after this one, then a recovery week which I will welcome.
PM: 44F, N 13 mph. 4 @ 8:46 AP. Keira turned 5 today! For this run I had a belly full of birthday cake and other stuff. I think I could feek it swaying back and forth in my stomach as I plodded along. |
