AM: Ran 14 nice relaxed miles, did a slightly modified version of the Krishna Temple loop with a stop in the middle at the ball fields for a drink. Don't remember a lot since I guess I was doing the sleep-running thing most of the time. Legs feeling pretty good after the Saturday 5K (thanks Kim for the awesome Father's Day massage last night!!!). Ave pace 8:26.
With WBR this weekend the plan is for mostly easy miles the rest of the week. I've gradually worked up my long run the last few weeks to where I'm used to getting a 20-mile day in at least every other week so today with a 2nd run at noon it will probably be a 20-mile day unless my body says to do otherwise. Seems like when my mileage gets much above 70 mpw my body starts to rebel so I think I'll keep most weeks in the 60-70 range for now, with possibly a couple of 70-80 mile weeks at the peak of the marathon training cycle.
Noon: Let the heat training begin! Ran Lakeview 10K loop with Paul and Nate. Also another guy I didn't know whose name I can't remember joined us for the first 2.5 miles. We were all a little tired so didn't want to push too hard, but I was surprised considering the heat that we ran as fast as we did. Ave pace 8:05. |
