Today I did  6 x 400s, 2 x 800s and 2 x100s.  The two 800s and 100s I didn't time because I forgot (don't you hate that).

The wind was blowing really hard today and it made the speed work difficult more than I ever remember.  But no excuses,  I'm not seeing any increase performance on my speed work.  I was basically around the same times as last week.

 400s

1. 82 (400 rest)

2. 88 (400 rest)

3. 88 (400 rest)

4. 81 (200 rest)

5. 86 (200 rest)

6. 86 (400 rest)

 I ran most of the miles today hard, but cut the volume of the run for the taper.  I'm a little disappointed in my speed work performances, but I'll keep trying.

Totals 8.6 miles  overall pace 6:35 in 57.01 minutes.

 No run this afternoon and want to keep my miles down to feel fresh.

Kory, as you continue your long term running and long term improvement, I assume you have seen the type of advice that Sasha gave to Lulu, but in case you haven't seen it in his words, I'll copy/paste them below.

-------------------------------

Lulu - appropriate daily mileage is critical to improvement in longer distances, and especially the marathon. Running twice a day is a good idea, if you can find the time. Increasing the length of the runs is a good idea if your body can handle it. What you should do is increase the mileage a tiny bit at a time, and then wait a few weeks to see how you adapt to it. It may take years to get used to the kind of mileage that will allow you to reach your potential in the marathon. You are focused on Chicago right now, perhaps even too focused. What I recommend to all runners regardless of their current level is to never train for a race, but rather for long-term fitness. There will always be a race to prove it once that is achieved. This view allows you to train more consistently throughout the whole year, and overtime reach the point where you are not getting injured while training at much higher volume and intensity than you could not even think of in the past.
