Got a little down time at the office so I wanted to go over last weeks training. 31.7 miles for last week.
Monday - 5.1 Miles total, 3 mile repeats, ave pace 7:43. Recovery paces 9:20 - 10:00 ish pace.
Tuesday - 3 Miles easy around 9 min pace
Wednesday - 6.1 miles. Recovery pace 9:25, tempo pace 7:52
Thursday - Rest
Friday - 4 miles around 8:45 pace
Saturday - 13.5 mile LR at 9 min pace
It was a good week of training! I need to have a bit more difference in mile repeats and tempo runs paces, so I set out this week to do so.
So far this week I have done the following:
Monday - 6 Miles total, 4 mi repeats, ave pace 7:26. Recovery paces 9:00-9:30
Tuesday - 4 miles around 9 min pace
Wednesday - 6 miles total, 5 tempo miles at 7:50 pace recovery around 9:30 - 9:45 pace
Thursday - I will go ahead and just put rest here since thats the plan.
I am happy with the runs I have done this week. I have 3 on Friday and 15 Saturday. The temps around here are getting in the lower to mid 60's at 6:00 AM. Not really loving that, but it has not been to bad yet. I am also noticing the recover paces are all over the map, but not really sure if thats something to be overly concerned about. Also down another pound since my last post to bring me to 215. Going to have make sure a pay a little more attention to staying hydrated this week with the warmer temps and higher RH%.
This Friday is pizza night at our home. So it looks like pizza for carb loading... not sure how thats going to go. I do make my own dough and sauce (mostly), so maybe thats better than the big chain places for me... Who knows lol. Saturday post long run, I am taking my son to his friends b-day party and when we get home we are going to cook up some lasagna and bake it with the leftover heat of the brick oven. Will also cook some meal prep stuff for the week. Saturdays are big cooking days for us at the house, which is something I really enjoy doing.
Thanks for reading along and I hope to post again next week with running updates!
