Track workout. Workout was a ladder up and down: 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 1200, 800, 400 with a 600m recovery jog after the 1600 and a 400m jog after everything else.

Splits: 70, 2:30, 3:49, 5:09, 3:51, 2:32, 67

Tough but good workout. Last time I did this workout I hit 5:15 on the 1600 and ended up holding that pace for 5K a week later. Hopefully that means I'm right around 16:00 5K shape right now given I hit 5:09 this time.

10 miles, 7:37 pace. Started slow, stayed slow... Felt like I never really warmed into it. Seems typical the morning after a double. Finished with some strides after.

13 miles with a tempo workout: 3x3 miles with a half mile recovery jog in between.

17:17 (5:53-5:46-5:38)

16:53 (5:39-5:36-5:38)

16:48 (5:39-5:36-5:33)

Couldn't seem to get up to speed on the first rep, felt like I was still warming up. The other two were good though. Kept the recovery jogs around 7:30-7:40 pace.

Not the greatest workout this morning. Plan was to do two sets of (1600, 4x400) with a 600m jog after the 1600s and a 400m jog after the 400s. Started out pretty good with a 5:05, 70, 70, 69, 70. Started the 1600 of the second set but my form just felt powerless. Decided to split it to 2x800. So finished in 2:35, took a 400m jog, then did the other 800 in 2:35. Did the last 4x400 in 71, 71, 71, 68, felt like I couldn't quite match the first four. Didn't feel like I passed my limit aerobically; didn't even hit 95% max HR during the workout. Felt more like it was the legs, just couldn't get them going on the second set. Not a bad workout just not what I wanted it to be.

Was planning on doing this race as more of a long run workout, originally planning on running the first 10 at marathon pace and then cutting down on the last three. Obviously that planned changed when the race started. Got into the first mile a little under 6:00 pace, but by mile 3 I was running low 5:40s and it felt easy. That's when I figured I could run under 1:15 without having to dig too deep. Pace held a little under or a little over 5:40 for the rest of the race. Felt very controlled up until the last mile when the effort increased some, closing in sub-5:30 pace for that mile. Overall pretty happy with how this went. Looks like I'm in better shape than I thought I was. This helped build some confidence of running under 2:30 for a marathon someday.

Workout today was 2x4 miles with a mile steady in between. Pacewise, wasn't the greatest but it was still decent in terms of volume and effort.

1st tempo: 5:50-5:47-5:46-5:41

steady mile in 6:40

2nd tempo: 5:44-5:45-5:43-5:40

Would've liked to have been in the 5:30s and wanted to keep the steady mile around 6:30, so overall about 10 seconds/mile slower on everything. Aerobically it felt pretty manageable for most of the workout, just couldn't get my legs up to speed today - they felt kind of stiff and not very bouncy today. Still good to get another workout checked off.

Workout at the track: 4x2K at CV/10K pace with a 400m jog recovery between + 4x200 after.

Splits: 6:42, 6:43, 6:41, 6:41 and then 32s for the 200s. Came through the 1600 in 5:21ish for each one.

Good workout. Didn't feel too hard.

8 mile tempo at half marathon-marathon effort this morning. 1st mile was a 5:54 and cut down a little each mile with the last one at 5:38. Overall average for the tempo was 5:45. Felt pretty controlled, but once again, it felt like my legs were more of a limiting factor than my aerobic fitness was. Especially at the beginning of the tempo, I'm sometimes just stuck at a certain pace no matter how much it feels like I try accelerating. Should try to make an effort to warm up better to see if that makes it easier to get into a faster pace early on.
