Wow - I over did my easy day yesterday and I paid for it today.<br><br>
I was to do 16 miles with 6x4.5-5.0 minutes at I-Pace. After I finished the 3rd one I new I was in trouble - I still did the 4th and then had to slog 4 miles home. Too much Monday running - Not enough Monday eating - and slight dehydration -<br><br>
16 - 1:58:23 - Average I-Pace time (4 intervals) = 4:46 - Recovery average 4:43<br><br>
But it was an Ok work out and its in the books. The humidity is supposed to just keep ramping up this week - so I will really have to focus on my eating and drinking to make sure the humidity is the only thing I am fighting.<br><br>
Good running to all -

Last week was a blowup! I took a week off of work to be a support driver for my brother who rode RAGBRAI. I got only one run in and ate <i>and drank</i> way too much!<br><br>
Up this morning to start over. Temps were not bad, but air was wet with humidity. 2 miles slow and deliberate. I don't remember aching this much while running. My cardio is getting better, I just need to work the kinks out of the joints.<br><br>
New shoes too so now at least I can almost say I feel like a runner!<br><br><br>
Good Running all

 

[Moment's Notice]

9 miles, 75F and not too humid...it was a good run.

I am trying to cram all my quality workouts into the days before and after my trip. So today was supposed to be 30 min tempo. I ams till sore from last nights weight lifting, so I did a 20 minute tempo. All together, it was about 3 miles.

 

[Notey]

14 miles in the dense fog. I was soaked by the end. My pace was pretty slow due to tired legs and the humidity. The best thing about it? It's over.

My great-gramma lived in Bellvue...I loved going to visit there as a kid.<br>
I used to play (yes, dangerous thing to do) right near where the riders dipped their tires in the Mississippi!<br><br>
congrats to you for your support, and to your bro for doint the event

7.5 miles this morning. Last workout before vacation<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"> I have lots of aspirations of working out while I'm gone-but I'm not sure it's going to happen! Great workouts everyone

 

[aphigirl01]

Long story short, was only able to do 5.25 miles this morning. I will be doing another 7 after work.

 

[dg1]

5 @ lunch.

 

[rhody92]

10K this morning in the fog. Longest run I've done in almost 2 months. I'll try to do it again Thursday.

 

[toe jam on crusty feet]

1/2 mile warm-up, then 3 X 1 mile @ 7:50-8:00 min pace, 1.25 mile cooldown<br><br>
We wanted to do 4 X 1 mile but I got the chills and felt kinda shaky....it was weird! So, we just jogged the last one in order to get the mileage.....

 

[toe jam on crusty feet]

Man! YOu are really making a quick comeback now that you are running again.... although, it probably doesn't feel like it to you <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

 

[Flounder]

5 recovery miles at lunch

 

[Jensparks]

Dehydration maybe?<br><br>
Recovery + Speed for me today. 6 miles with 6x100 on the treadmill. Weird combination .... but I just do what Pfitz tells me to do. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

 

[rhody92]

Thanks! After 5 weeks of no running, it doesn't feel quick enough, but I'm trying to be smart. I'm not running more than 2 days in a row yet and I'm going slower than my normal pace (partly intentionally, partly due to lost fitness). I need to decide pretty quick if I can do a marathon in 11 weeks.

 

[Jensparks]

Baystate?

 

[Frankie71]

575 yards in the pool. Easy pace, mixture of breaststroke and freestyle.

 

[altoids]

Nearly 4 miles in the park with my friend. 85 and sunny.

Hi all!<br><br>
Great workouts all!<br><br><b>Sparky</b> - It is a weird mix recovery and speed, isn't it??? First time I read that I went <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Confused"> But like you, I just do (or try to do) what Pfitz is telling me.<br><br>

Plan tonight was 9 miles with 5x600m VO2max bursts. The plan called for a 2 minute jog between each burst. I actually did a 400m jog, which was just a little longer than 2 minutes.<br><br>
I did this with a 4 mile warmup, the bursts and recoveries, and then a 2.125 mile cooldown.<br><br>
I struggled with the speed stuff. I could not maintain a steady pace during the bursts. I had my moments when I was fast and moments where I felt like I was dogging it.<br><b>Run Segments<br>
