Weather - 88 degrees, sunny, humid. Hottest day of the year so far, with high humidity. I ran to the arboretum with the intent of doing 10 hill repeats. However, my warm-up run indicated I was feeling much better than I thought I would be, so I hoped to do more than 10 repeats. I did my usual routine, 100m at 5k pace to the base of the hill, 100m hard up the hill (regular form on even repeats, bounding on odd), and 250m downhill sprint. In previous hill sessions I sprinted 200m downhill, but today my body was ready for a longer effort, so I increased it by 50m, which also shortened the recovery by the same amount. I was doing well, felt strong and energetic, but I had trouble keeping my body temperature low. I had 1 water bottle, but by the 10th repeat it was empty, most of it having gone on my head. Because I had no means of cooling myself I had to stop at 12 repeats. #205 z.m. - #118

Weather - 80 degrees, sunny, humid. A little cooler today, which made a big difference. I have noticed that after running hard several days in heavy humidity, when the air finally clears my running ability seems to increase. Today I felt about 5 pounds lighter because of the lower humidity, and I ran like it - loose, at ease, and faster than normal with easy breathing. Running in humidity should be considered a form of resistance training because the body feels heavier than normal.
I ran 1.75 miles barefoot on the 7th and 8th fairways, 1 mile of which was run at about 5:30 pace. It was an "easy" 5:30 pace, not out of breath, legs moving with control, it felt good. Afterward 3 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 35 minute walk home. #206 z.m. - #119

Weather - 80 degrees, sunny. The humidity has vanished, and that means running seemed a lot easier today. I ran 5 miles around the arboretum and then to Cardinal. The last 2 miles I picked up the pace and was running a relaxed 6:30. When I got to Cardinal I immediately jumped on the bike and began intervals. I usually do 10 intervals, but I felt strong so extended it to 12, all on maximum tension, which is also a first. After the intervals I did 5 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 10 minute walk home. I have had a good 2 weeks of training, and the mantra for the next 3 days will be "short and easy". Time to freshen up for the Mingo race this Saturday. The course will most likely be flooded and muddy in spots, so it should be challenging and fun. #207 z.m - #120

Weather - 89 degrees, sunny, humid. A hot day, but no problem because I had a short run planned. Ran 1 mile easy, then 2 miles at about 6:30 pace. My legs are starting to get fresh, a bit of soreness from the hill and bike sessions, but they should be fine by Saturday. #209 z.m. - #122 | | Comments(1) |
