Long Run:
15 miles in Boost4
Ran at 11 am with wingo and Paul. Started at Maymont, ran across nickel bridge, went right after the bridge into the neighborhood, worked our way all the way up to River Rd and crossed the bridge there, then ran all the way up through carytown and back to maymont which was 13.25ish so then I just added on a bit. Great run, good route idea for the summer. Good to run with wingo again. Weather was cloudy and in the low to mid 40s.
Training Run:
8 miles in Boost3
Chill run today. Actually was feeling it a little, wasn't sore but was tired. Had the dizziness stuff again on the beginning half. Hopefully that'll get better.
Workout:
11 miles total
6 in Boost4
Workout was 8x1000 with 3 min rest in between each. Goal was between 2:50-52, did not happen! Went 2:56,53,56,56,56,57,58,59. Stu and Flynn and Sharkey were usually about 2-5 seconds ahead. Very hard workout. I felt like I couldn't move, probably because it was like 40°. Struggled the whole time, not sure what exactly my problem was but didn't have a great work. Looking back it wasn't all that bad, fastest set of 1000s I've ever done, but not quite what I needed to get done unfortunately.
Medium Long Run + Strides:
13.5 miles total
12 in Boost4
Ran medium long on DOB with Stu and Adam. Felt dizzy and hungry til about 4.5 miles out when Stu took a pee break. I think that means something wasn't right with my blood pressure but I don't know. After the break I felt great. Strides were fine too. Ran 6x150 on outdoor track in takumis. Went straight into them, no drills.
Weather sucked, about 30 highs and very windy. Made the strides a little harder. Terrible compared to yesterday's low 60s.
Training Run:
9 miles in Boost3
Ran Lake Loop with the whole squad. Was feeling tired so chilled in the back a bit. Weight room and workout got to me a little I think. Gotta feel fresh for the Thursday workout.
Workout:
11 miles total
6 in Boost4
Workout was 8x1000 starting relaxed and then getting into it a bit if we felt good. Went 3:15, 3:10, 3:08, 3:07, 3:05, 3:03, 3:03, 3:01. Did a 3 mile warm up and 3 mile cool down.
Good workout. Wasn't killer like most of the first outdoor workouts (outdoor as in literally outside). First one felt a lot faster than it was. Good workout overall, didn't make it so that coach would have to go home and drink lol.
Easy Run:
5 miles in Boost3
Ran an easy 5 with Stu after watching the mile. Mason Last Chance Meet was today. Didn't race cause of conferences. Had a good run and talk with Stu.
