8 AM

Running 1:48:30 [3] 25.82 km (4:12 / km) +92m 4:08 / km
shoes: NB 880v11 (Blue)

Capping off the 62mile/100km week. This will be the biggest I’ll go for the rest of track season, don’t want to risk running any more and doing the same intensity. Longest run since October, felt pretty decent. A crisp -4 out, weather all over the gaff atm. Shin was worryingly niggly before but pleasantly surprised as it didn’t bother me much. Got a 5k in 2 weeks and then another in 5 weeks, will do another hard week next week then maybe taper down a little bit.

Running 1:00:00 [2] 12.94 km (4:38 / km) +76m 4:30 / km
shoes: NB 880v11 (Blue)

Easy hour with the lads. Was going to go solo round the golf course but decided a bit of tarmac pounding wouldn’t hurt. Felt reasonable enough post race. Shin pretty niggly by the end.

Running 15:05 [2] 3.37 km (4:29 / km)
shoes: NB 880v11 (Blue)

Morning shake.
4 PM

Running 4:07 [5] 1.5 km (2:45 / km)
shoes: Dragondos

SLU 1500m

Back racing again. Really enjoyed this and unlike monument mile, I actually was in the race. Really windy down the home straight meant race was pretty slow, not sure how much this affected the time but everyone was 8-10 seconds of their PBs. Regardless of the time, raced it well. Sat at the back for the first 800m then just moved up through the pack all the way to the finish. Was honestly hurting quite a lot at 400m in. Scalped a couple of actual middle distance lads on the team which was encouraging.
7 PM

Running 5:31 [4] 1.84 km (3:00 / km)
shoes: Dragondos

5k pacing

Told to go 71s. Went 70,70,73,73. At that point the other 2 pacers had already dropped and I felt like I couldn’t pick it up. Took another headwind straight but felt the guys bunching behind me so pulled off as didn’t want to fuck the race. Bit annoyed as they slowed massively and basically dropped it to 75/76s for the rest of the race due to the wind. Definitely had a couple more 73s in me, but guess job of the pacer is to hit the pace (which in hindsight was very ambitious for the weather). Also annoyed as wanted a bit more of a run out but there you go, can’t win ‘em all.
8 PM

Running 55:11 [2] 11.95 km (4:37 / km)
shoes: NB 880v11 (Blue)

Various pieces of warm up and warm down.

2 PM

Running 44:07 [2] 10.21 km (4:19 / km) +40m 4:14 / km
shoes: NB 880v11 (Blue)

Some pre-race stuf. Jog + 800m threshold + 4x200 in 30,30,29,28. Strides felt decent enough in spikes. 30s felt especially comfy. Hopefully a good sign that I’ll make it further than monument mile before popping tomorrow.

Running 22:34 [2] 4.98 km (4:32 / km)
shoes: NB 880v11 (Blue)

Up, with the usual 800m pick-up.

Running 32:41 [4] 7.27 km (4:30 / km)
shoes: Saucony Endorphin Pro 2

8x800m (2’)

2:21, 19, 19, 16, 15, 17, 18, 19

Good little number thismorning. Thrown in with the sharks starting with the top group (all 14:00-14:20ish type guys) so knew would be a bit of a grind but also they weren’t sending it too hard. Kept up for 5 reps then next 2 fell off a little bit but splits still decent, then last one was completely solo because others called it at 7, completely died in the wind down the home strait (37 last 200m lol). Good shift anyway and moving forward at a fair old rate. Didn’t start to feel grindy until 5/6th rep so all good.

1500m confirmed for Friday, just aiming to race it smart, start conservative and hopefully have a close. No real time expectations. Will also be pacing a 5k on the same day going through 3k in around 8:50-55, so fingers crossed should be a good rust buster day.

Running 1:19 [5] 0.5 km (2:38 / km)
shoes: Dragondos

2x200 in 28.4 and 28.6. Pretty solid with not much rest after the session. Whipped on the dragons.

Running 15:36 [2] 3.24 km (4:49 / km)
shoes: NB 880v11 (Blue)

Down.

Easy aquajog with Matt. First time in the pool in a couple of weeks.
