sorry, i forgot about you.
alright. i'll quit being lazy- i'll starting using caps in the right places.
Hey! I've been running. I've been putting in my time. I haven't slacked too much. I ran a marathon 6 weeks ago so whatever. But I did about a 25 mile backpacking trip two weeks later and started running again August 5th. F U if that isn't enough, fictional judgmental hardcore running audience, FU!
Here's what I ran between then and today:
8/5- 3.43 @ 9:43 pace run
8/13- 4 mi @ 9:14 pace run
8/15- 20 mins of speedwork- sprint treadmill intervals- 5 x :30
8/16- 5 mi @ 9:13 "long" run
8/20- 4 mi @ 8:37 pace run
8/22- 7 mi @ 9:37 long run
8/23- 22 mins of speedwork- 4 x 100 yard track intervals
So that's a good way to ease back into a fairly rough but flexible schedule. I could be more Nazi but why should I? This will work just fine and I'm having fun.
With that said, I have two more pace runs and 3 more speed workouts at the track before my 10k on 9/18 and just a few easy runs after that before the 10/2 1/2 marathon.
At this point, I'm going to need some adrenaline and optimism race day. Fortunately for me, I have that, and if I don't, at least I'm in good shape for ski season.
Here is my (flexible) running schedule through the Oct 1/2:
8/26- 5 mi pace @ 8:25
8/29- Speedwork- 6 x 100 yard intervals
8/31- 9 mi long run
9/1- 6 mi easy run
9/2-9/3- Backpacking/Hiking Trip
9/7- 8 mi long run
9/8- 5 mi pace @ 8:10
9/11- easy bike ride
9/12- Speedwork- 8 x 100 yard intervals
9/14- 10 mi long run
9/18- 10k race
9/20- 3 mi easy
9/21- 6 mi easy
9/22- 4 mi easy
9/27- 4 mi easy
9/28- 2 mi easy
10/2- 1/2 marathon
Goals again are:
10k: 50 min
1/2 Marathon: 1:50
"Probably won't get them?"
Watch me!
