Day 38 of the streak #twit2fit

May 5
2009

I’ve run 27 miles in 5 days, and today’s run truly felt like miles 23 – Finish of a marathon that I had not properly prepared for.  I guess part of the lesson here is that I’ve run most of the last week too fast.

3.25 miles in 31:57 (9:50 / mile).  This should have been a recovery run, but I looked down at my GPS.  Otherwise, I probably would have been lucky to stay below 11 minute miles.

  • 10k "PR" on a tempo run - 45:14 #running #twit2fit My 10k PR is 46:26, which is a 7:29 pace, and my target tempo pace for today was a 7:21 pace.  I had tossed around the idea of running a 10k race this weekend, but decided that I didn't want to reduce my miles enough to make a strong showing......
  • Almost a perfect 12-mile loop through Fern Creek/J-Town #twit2fit 12 miles, 1:55:06 (9:36/mile), 10 straight weeks running. This was my longest run in almost 5 months.  I didn't get to start bright and early when the day is the coolest.  I didn't run in a public park today (not even through Vettiner).  I didn't run across anyone else who......
  • Hard to get going this morning Slow start. Sore knee, ankle felt iffy to start. Had trouble breaking 9:30 pace for first 1/2 mile.Decent run after that... stayed along Bardstown Road for 3 miles of the run. Even at < 6 am, that's pretty annoying--but I didn't want to do the hill in Vettiner Park this......
  • Progressive Long Run (16 miles) while watching the game #twit2fit #running One of the things that's great about football season is that you can easily do a long run on the treadmill while watching the game.  I did mine today at home on my Sole F80 at a 1% incline (watching the UofL-UK game). I've been doing my long runs at......
  • Nice progressive pace run on a double-run day #twit2fit #running One pitfall that I've fallen into is not being able to push the pace as necessary on my runs.  The beauty of this run is that it was both the second run of the day and got me to 25 miles in two days: The first mile went off at......
