Note
So... last week wasn't a down week either! I thought it was only 28 miles, but it turns out I forgot to log my distance on a few things:/ I did feel fantastic today and during the long, though, so I might keep going one more week. My main goal is just to make sure I don't have any *accumulated* fatigue.
This week:
Mon: rest
Tues: threshold work with Alex's skiers
Wed: easy run
Thurs: Park-O! Might do hills or something after.
Fri: pre-meet
Sat: 3k TIME TRIAL!!! First track race since Winter 2012!!!
Sun: Long run? Alex and I were talking about doing more of our long runs in terrain.
Running (terrain) 35:00 [4] 4.24 mi (8:15 / mi)
shoes: New Mizuno wave riders
Day 1 of my don't get beaten by Spike plan.
Joined Alex and her skiers for some threshold trail stuff at Hammond Pond. Should've brought a map, but I couldn't find a good one as I was headed out the door. It was on trails, but there was lots of jumping over stuff and lots of rocks, so I'm just calling it a terrain run.
3 x 1.4 mi, ~3 min jogging rest.
11:34
11:46
11:40
I followed Alex for the first 2, and it was good practice since she's less timid on the rocky stuff than I am. I was on my own for the last one, and it was hard. I was stumbling a whole lot more than I was on the rest of it.
Running (mostly trails/soft surfaces) 1:09:10 [2] 6.29 mi (11:00 / mi)

The warmup and cooldown added up!
