| 76F, 87%. 7:28 AP. Standard Sunday run, with a progression to MP effort at the very end. In a couple weeks I'll start my HM block of training - a few extra miles/week, longer "long runs" and a slightly different mix of workouts.

| AM: 78F, 82%. 6 @ 8:46 AP. Followed up the feel-good Sunday run with the standard feel-bad Monday run.
PM: 4 on the TM with several strides @ 3k pace. I had to do my recoveries faster than usual bc the guy next to me was going 8:00 pace.
I must say, the last few days have really showed what a competitive jerk I can be....huh.

| AM: 76F, 77%. 7 mi total. Track day - 5 x 800 @ 3k pace, 2 min rest. Not so good today, but I stuck with it. Average rep was 2:47.7, a bit slower than usual. Splits were all over the place too - 2:47.9, 2:48.6, 2:45.5, 2:50.3, 2:46.1. I almost quit in each of the last 3 reps...on my good days the track feels like a springboard; today it felt like quicksand. Combination of the legs feeling cruddy and lack of focus/effort, but went through the motions anyway, and it still turned out ok.
PM - somehow made it happen today...4 more

| AM: 72F, 82%. 6 @ 8:17 AP. Finally got some rain yesterday, and it cooled everything off. Felt very good outside and I think tomorrow will be the same, so my Friday treadmill workout just turned into a Thursday track workout.
PM - did my minimum - 30 min plod on the TM. Hoping the legs will be ready for another workout tomorrow with only 1 easy day between this time. Weather looks too good not to try.

| AM: 70F, 65%. 11 mi total. Basically fall weather, so unusual and awesome. So I pushed up LT day to today, and did my old favorite, 4 x 2400m, w/400m active recoveries. Today was a good one, averaged 9:11/rep (~6:09/mile). I hit the lap button at the 1600m point during each rep; splits were:
9:21 (6:14, 3:07)
9:16 (6:10, 3:06)
9:12 (6:08, 3:04)
8:55 (5:57, 2:58)
Recovery laps were all in the 2:10-2:15 range.
Here's my workout history on this one:
| 5/24 |
69F |
92% |
9:27 |
| 7/4 |
72F |
81% |
9:20 |

9:11 |
Good, solid improvement, though today was probably the superior weather day of the 3, thanks to a sub-60 dewpoint. I'd LIKE to think I could go maybe 5 sec/mile faster with cold temps -- that would indicate I'm really threatening a sub-1:20 half, with just a little more work still yet to do. Not sure though; didn't feel slowed down at all by weather today. Either way, I'm in a really good spot, considering I haven't started my HM block of training yet.
PM: 4 mi shakeout on the mill.

PM: 4 on the TM. Legs were still pooped from yesterday so I made them do some pretty vicious TM strides.
