01.20.14 - 9.11m - 8:30 avg pace - Can't believe I am in my 5th week of training for Ocean Drive. This cycle is just flying by. Very easy 9+ miles to kick-off the week.
01.21.14 - 10.75m w/ 400/800/1200/1600/1200/800 Ladder w/400 rec - Snow early in the am headed to Y for another speed day of intervals. Par for the course this cycle. I have not done ladders all that much and probably one of the tougher speed workouts imo. Felt pretty good today for a speed day. really slowed down the rest intervals and cooldown as well. if nothing else that is one of the major advantages of treadmil running not running paces faster than you should.
01.22.14 - SRD - I love Wednesday Rest Days!!!:)
01.23.14 - 10.29m w/8M@MP -7:29 avg pace - another wintery day and cold temps took MP run inside. I wanted to change it up a bit on this MP run and did first 6m as a wave tempo alt between 7:35/7:08 pace. last 2m was a progressive LT type run from 7:35 down to 6:58. Tough run on the mill, but got a good workout in.
01.24.14 - 8.0m - 8:52 avg pace - Slowed it down a bit today as my legs were feeling it from MP run yesterday. Another run on the mill. Lot of snow on ground after getting dumped for 4-5" yesterday. Weather has been unbearable this week.
01.25.14 - 11.01m - 8:39 avg pace - another mill run as status quo goes this week. Too cold for my liking. Maybe I am just being a wuss with all these mill runs or just being smart. Depends on your perspective I guess. Played with incline today and did some incline ladders from 0-8% incline. Good to mix it up and get a decent workout in at same time.
01.26.14 - 14.1m - 13.1m LR w/ another mile as a cooldown - 8:06 avg pace for 13.1 - really debated about running outside or not today. Another morning of chilly temps. Decided a mill LR would be way to go as much as the prospect of running 13-15 miles on a mill really did not appeal to me. Just about getting it done some days and today was one of those days. Solid run even with cutting it a mile short ftom my planned 15. Leaving Y it was 27 and sunny so I probably should of sucked it up early and ran outside.:)
Hard to believe 5 weeks are in the books now. Probably ran way more on mill than I would have liked this week. The joys of winter I guess and me just being a wuss on some of those days where I probably could of ran outside though. Lot of people don't like the mill but I am starting to at least tolerate it. I much rather get my run in safely & as intended instead of slipping on some ice and be out of commission with injury. Not about being a badass all the time to see what Mother Nature can throw at you and being tolerant of that. On bright side winter will be done in 5 more weeks so gotta look at the silver lining.
Bottomline line had a solid week with 63.3 miles after a cutback week the week before. 9 more weeks till Ocean Drive. #BQin14
