3 x 800M at the Track

Untitled by koonarse at Garmin Connect - Details

WOW is all that I can say about my track work.  I have never run this fast for 800s.  3:06 / 3:00 / 3:09.  Not sure if it is that I am lighter, been going to Boot Camp twice a week, or just because.  It is HOT and HUMID so I can imagine what I would run if it was not.  Training for the Louisiana Half will start next month...

Track Work Out 6 x 400m

I went to the track this morning.  It was nice and humid.  We completed 6 x 400m with a range 1:29 to 1:23.  It is amazing how 5 seconds feels like the difference between just making it around and really pushing it around.  Last week I ranged in the 1:27 ish rate with a 1:23 fast.  I hit 1:23 twice this week.

I need to establish a training plan for the Louisiana 1/2 Marathon.

Saturday Run

This is the first run on a Saturday in a while that was over 6 miles or better yet, a run on Saturday.  It was the first time I have run this way.  I was on my feet for close to 1:20 for 8.5 miles.  It was not too hot and a very nice day.  For the week I ran a total of 25 miles in four runs.  The best one was my Tuesday run for 7 miles.  I was able to keep up with the front of the group to the park and not feel bad.  I am going to attempt it again Tuesday.

Zero Day: I have not run since Saturday. Last week was about 20 total. I need to get there or greater this week.

Fail
So I hit my intervals on Wednesday I didnt run Thursday and only ran Friday with my wife. I think I have less than 10 for the week. Blows

Big Week
Looking back at last weeks mileage I ran about 23.5 miles. The mileage is was 5 days in a row. Let's see if I can beat it again.
