My Running Log

5x800 at 3:30, 3:18, 3:14, 3:00, and 3:00.

On the treadmill.

These were hard but good. I realized that my breathing was much different than when I ran my time trial. So I think that's something that will help me next time is to be more relaxed in my breathing.

Played basketball and vowed to retire.

Then ran 4 miles on the treadmill with a slight incline (my new thing) at 7:30-8:00 pace.

I'm really tired. I need to get more sleep and maybe take it easy on the next workout.

Hill workout on the treadmill. 8 minute pace, level 7. This was a challenge, but fortunately I survived. I think this is a good level to build on. Also, I am thinking that it would be hard to get as good of a hill workout outside (unless I did a canyon run) as I do inside because it really pushes me. Especially because I usually am running by myself.

Nice easy workout on the elliptical machine. It felt nice to take it easy. 40 minutes. Level 10.

Feels good to take a day off.

Ran 0.5 mile warmup, 5 miles at 8:30 pace, 3.5 miles at 8:00 pace, and 1.5 miles faster on the treadmill. The first 2/3 of this run felt really easy. Toward the end I started to feel a little tired but not too bad.

This is my longest run of the year and my week with the most miles. So I feel good about that. My average weight has gone down about 2 pounds since last week. More than I thought.

So things are going well.
