Training Log Archive: Nadim

From Greenbelt Park, through the apartments and across Kennilworth Ave to Pontiac Street. Down to Berwyn and across the RR tracks to College Park. Right on Rt. 1, and left to the Paint Branch Trail, to Lake Artemesia and back up Pontiac Street to Greenbelt Park. I started with Tim F. from PGRC. We started easier than last time (early July) but slowed again at Lake Artemesia. It was hotter this time. We were running at 6:45/mi on the Paint Branch Trail. I slowed considerably returning up the hill to the park.

From Quill Point Dr., Prospect Hill to Rte. 193, to Soil Conservation Rd. to Beaverdam Rd. to Edmonston Rd. to Odell Rd., to Springfield Rd. to Powder Mill Rd. to Rte. 197, to Prospect Hill Rd. to Quill Point Dr. 19.7mph going out into a headwind but faster on the hills coming back for an average of 20.2mph. Felt stiff starting and weak on hills. Crank is bad so I need to get a new road bike too.

Fran Uhler map on the northern section. Warm out with the flies biting but not biting as bad as last time.

In Bowie, Quill Point Dr. to Fletchertown Rd. to Hillmeade Rd. to the WB&A Trail, to Bell Station Rd., to Prospect Hill to Quill Point Dr., then once around the block. Mid eighties, humid and breezy at night. Tight from fartlek workout yesterday and slow running after dinner.

Warm-up of 3,200m on the UMD Track. Fartlek of 3,200m (16 x 100m sprints w/100m jog). Warm-down of 3,350m. Most 100m sprints were in 16 seconds. It was hot out.

Bowie to New Carrollton. Cooler this morning w/calm winds. I felt a little slower on hills but okay overall. 15 sec. for TL's.

New Carrollton to Bowie. Slow going due to carrying a laptop and projector back along with my clothes. It was hot too. 10 sec. for TL's.

From Quill Point Dr, to Highbridge Rd, to WB&A Trail to Rte 450, u-turn back to Rte. 193, to Prospect Hill Rd, to Quill Point Dr. This was a nice way to loosen-up after the rogaine. I was moving out down the hills and steady going up. I timed a 2:45 (graded uphill) and 2:30 (rolling w/bumpy wooden bridge) half mile along the way. It'd been over a year since last I skated and I was a little nervous.
