24 mile long run, including 15 at MP. Pretty great weather for a run like this; 40 degrees, clear, still some wind but not nearly as bad as yesterday. Glad I decided to wait until today to do this run, probably would've been a mess if I attempted it yesterday. Anyways, started with an easy 8, averaging around 7:30 pace, then got started on the MP part. Legs felt a little flat today, but very little aerobic stress throughout, which is good to see. Ran pretty consistent splits hitting mostly 5:46s, with a few faster and a few slower. Pretty good run. Obviously would've been more of a confidence booster if I averaged 5:43, but really wasn't all that far off. Great way to cap off peak week.

Splits: 5:53, 5:48, 5:46, 5:49, 5:46, 5:46, 5:45, 5:51, 5:46, 5:46, 5:46, 5:43, 5:45, 5:41, 5:39 (~5:46 average)

1 mile cooldown to get to 24

Workout fail. Had 6x1K, 4x400 on the schedule. Warmed up for 3 miles and everything from the lower back down just felt tight, but stayed hopeful that it would loosen up once I got going. Nope, only seemed to tighten up more throughout the workout. Made it through 4 1K reps going 3:12, 3:12, 3:13, 3:14. Started the 5th one but called it after 400m as I was only managing 5:15 pace at this point, legs just couldn't go, so it was easy jogging for the rest of the run to at least get in the mileage for the day. Failed workouts happen, and this was the first one in this training cycle, so I'm not too worried about it, though it still never feels good mentally when they do happen. I'm probably still recovering from Sunday. Maybe would've been fine if I waited until tomorrow to try this.

AM: 12 miles, 7:28 pace. Sometime during the day yesterday a pain in the outside bottom part of my right foot started. Feel it walking around and notice it while running but it at least doesn't seem to get worse from running. Will need to keep an eye on this.

PM: 7 miles, 7:45 pace. Foot... Wasn't all that enjoyable.

AM: 12 miles + strides, 7:33 pace. Still feeling the foot. Probably taking tomorrow's workout off and just run easy instead.

16 easy, 7:29 pace. Foot about the same - pain but can manage through it. Just making running not very enjoyable right now.

Think I figured out the cause. I might've landed the wrong way while hopping the fence to the track on Wednesday, as there is now a giant bruise visible in the area of pain. Don't know for certain though. Hopefully that's what it is and not training related, so then it will just need time to heal and I should be good to go.
