Pretty good day for a Monday. Got plenty of rest after an early crash, work was not too bad, the weather's decent and the run went pretty well. Schedule for Sunday was an 8-miler followed by 10-mile GA with strides. Since I did 18 on Sunday, I decided to ditch the 8-miler entirely and do the 10 on Monday as per the original schedule. If I then do 13-8-11-rest-20 for the rest of the week, that would be 80 miles -- my biggest week ever, and what I had planned to max out with on this plan. I may still max out at 80, but now I'll do at least two 80 weeks.
As for tonight, I ran most of it at 8:30ish pace with 10 strides at the end at 6:40 pace. Legs felt really good considering I ran 18 yesterday. After a fairly bad week last week, I feel like I've moved up a level and am in better condition. Maybe it's just because I've gotten a couple of good nights' sleep recently; adequate rest seems to be the weak link in my training. |
