So the week has gone by fast it seems to me. of course maybe hard to remember. im hot right now since it has become pretty steamy again. as we were saying today though now anything under 100 seems unimpressive. just keep drinking water i guess. although i looked at the forecast for san diego and it was like highs of 70 which will prob feel like 50. hmph. better pack some long sleeve stuff.
anyway running has been good this week. i have 50 miles in 6 days on hm 8? or 9? runs id have to go up and look. Sweet air run- the time/effort was possibly better than expected btw greg lang ran 4418 if i hadnt gone the wrong way i feel like i would have at least come in at that time since i was far ahead of him. i did 4447 two years ago with a more moderate start so that seems good.
Monday and tuesday were distance recovery days- i ran a mile in flats on tuesday and it wasnt too bad at all. the T6 more substantial brooks obv.those will prob be the racing shoes of choice for the forseeable future(hopefully)
Wednesday was steady run with jamie and anna on the course and woods. 4 miles at approx 6:55 pace. this is good- it should go down to 6:30-6:40 pace once the weather gets better- and i get more used to running this amount.
Thursday wsa the main workout of the week- it was planned to be 4x1600 w 1:00 rest. I actually did a good job again of hitting the prescribed times- will miracles never cease lol. I wanted to start at 6:06 and go down 4 sec per run. So it was 6:06,6:02,5:56, then i broke the last one into 2 800s which was smart- i could have done the last one but it would have made the wo a tiny bit too difficult with a race two days later. so i did 256 and 251 which were fine obv. It mainly felt quite hot even though i guess it was only upper 80s to 90 during the wo. it was humid. it will be interesting to see A if i can get to a track while im in cali and B what the wo will be like in drier cooler conditions. it is supposed to be 2x3200 next week.
Today i ran with jamie my knee was sore for the first half and i was tired but by the end i felt better esp after we got in the sprinkler. then 10 min later my heel was sore lol. it was mostly better after nap.
Tomorrow should be interesting. I am running at an introductory level of fitness- better than no fitness obv. I dont think the wo from yesterday should cause problems but we will see. This week the mileage will be about 5 miles less than i did 2 weeks ago but the intensity is somewhat higher. Im not really worried about tiredness etc but rather my health- heel/PF,knee,hip. Everything seems fairly under control not ideal of course but im adjusting i think. COntinue to be patient and consistent hopefully things will progress.
At least the sweet air run was fairly productive so well see how tomorrow night goes.
Btw some very good runs in Paris today!
