Although I admittedly have been slacking on the training as of late...I still have a goal to run a decent road mile in mid-July on a relatively "slow" course. The course is flat enough but there is a gradual 180' turn followed by a 90' turn back to back that hinders a good personal time.

So with that, I have laid out a planned. It's based mainly on a plan on this.

Here it is, any comments?

Week of 3-31 to 4-6-08

Monday- 3m at lunch. 1.5mi tempo in 7:49 w/ 2:38 ½ mi split. Pace=5:13. Did 15 push ups.

Tuesday - 3m in Wilderness Park. Felt good on the trails. Did 4x1min just to speed it up a little.

Wednesday- 3.5m from home before dinner. Thru in 1x3’ and 1x1’. Did 20 pushups

Thursday- nada, zip, zilch

Friday- 4 x ½ mi in 2’30, 2’23, 2’27, 2’23 w/ rests of 3’22, 3’28, 3’30. Total time running 30min. Felt lot better than last ½ mi workout. Tried to relax thru ~ ¼ and then push. Did the workout up 48th rather than on bike path. Liked it better as less traffic concern. Probably one of the best single workouts I’ve had in a number of years.

Saturday- getting ready for post prom

Sunday- :50 min walk with Gannon and Miles. Later in the night did 6mi on the elliptical machine mixing up intensities to pass the time.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

Monday- :43 at the cemetery. Took Miles and he played in the dirt while I ran. Just an easy effort with some strides at the end. ~6 miles

Tuesday- :40 pushing Gannon in the jogger. Felt pretty good until the last couple steep hills then I could really feel the effort of pushing him. ~5 miles

Wednesday- :30 w/ 4x800 on the bike path. Splits of 2.26,29.36,31. I’m pretty much lost on what happened on the 3rd rep, didn’t feel like it was any slower than the other. Avg. of 2:30.5 which was about 2 seconds faster than last weeks avg.

Thursday - :30 on ET. Home with Miles. Weather really sucked and didn’t want to take him out in it. So just worked out indoors. Boring.

Friday- Home with Gannon…nothing.

Saturday- Suppose to race today, but stuck in STOP class, then guitar lessons, then to the school play. Nothing.

Sunday- 4mi around the section in the morning. Probably the earliest run of the year. Felt good…after two days off!

this week want to get in 6-7 runs.

Friday, March 21, 2008

cruised 4m at lunch today in 24:16 with a closing 2:49 (5:38) 1/2 split. pretty windy out today, but it was downwind towards the end so that was nice. felt fresh and had some pop in legs from the start.

i am officially out of the mopac 5k set for next saturday. i have the distinct pleasure of attending STOP class for a ticket received last weekend on the way back from the Kansas wedding! oh well, would have been nice to race, but i've done that race and i've never been to STOP. :-)

hopefully get a decent run in tomorrow, because I would assume Easter will end up being in a 0.

later

1/2 mile on the road

well did 4 x 1/2 mile repeats with ken (co-worker) over lunch today. weather was warm but really windy. the wind was a real issue on the last one, that, and i was worn out!

anyway did a short warm up and then 2:26, 30, 30, 41. like i said i was hurting on the last one. it was a solid start though. ken was about 1 minute behind on most, but still much better than being out their solo!

easy run manana, adios

3m recovery run at lunch. nothing to exciting, clocked a 1/2mi split a little north of 3min. felt pretty easy, little tightness in left calf, but that's been a pretty consistent "pain" over the last month or so. planning on some 1/2mi repeats with ken tomorrow
