Progression run at Ben Geren today, with the last 1.4 at MP. Overall average just a smidge over 9:00. Legs are not bad for a week out from a hard marathon. I'm pretty pleased.
Starting to analyze my training, not my tactics, to see what was lacking. I have some ideas I'll expound upon in my next entry. |

Eight miles at the track tonight, around the outside lanes this time. Worked out to 29 laps for 8 miles. A young woman was walking her dog around the inside and remarked that she wished she had my energy. She was maybe 24, maybe not that old. I told her I was 50; I also told her I ran 26.2 10 days ago, and that four years ago, I couldn't get around the block without stopping. Within a few minutes, she and the dog were both running, and I was encouraging them. She asked if I had any tips. I said do what you're doing, start slow and build up slow.
As I mentioned in the last entry, before tornado warnings and all sorts of climatic fun, I was analyzing my training. I think I need more lower body strengthening to protect against cramps. I also think I needed more MP miles. I tweaked Hudson just a bit too much. So the goal from Sacramento is to correct that. I'm gonna have to get in some health club this summer, to have access to good weights as well as treadmill and/or indoor track for summer running. |

| Warmed up at the track tonight with 5K at 8:40ish. Then 11 laps at MP. Then hammer down, two laps at sub-7 pace. Felt really comfortable. Legs are mostly back, I think. Finished April with 135 miles, with about 20% of that on one memorable day. We'll see how much the legs are back at Bentonville next Saturday. |
