[Alex]

Well last night I thought I'd go for an easy 3 or 4 since we didn't do much more than striders at practice. I was running and after about 10 minutes my feet were hurting, I think my shoes are breaking down, the bottoms of my feet and definitely my heels were just plain sore. I stopped for a while and jogged 5 minutes back home. I ordered some new shoes last night so they should be coming in a few days.<br><br>
Well 3200 tonight at our little meet. It's only like 6-8 teams but it's an invite so medals for top 3 and ribbons for 4th and 5th...<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> I'm definitely hoping to nab some hardware of a different color tonight, but we'll see. I wanna shoot for about a 5:20 first mile and try for progressive last mile splits, ending around 1:10-1:12. I don't know how possible this is, but I wanna see what I have in me for Conference this Saturday.<br><br>
Have a great day everyone.<br><br>
Alex

You muscles should be plenty loose tonight - plenty warm. Enjoy the race.<br><br>
10 easy miles this am - 4 of them on trails.<br><br>
Good running to all -

 

[JackDuggan]

5 miles on the TM<br><br>
Happy running all

 

[Lofcaudio]

Despite the humid conditions, the weather was nice for a run (62°F). I just did four recovery miles around the neighborhood. I'm gearing up for a 5-mile race on Saturday. I probably won't cut back on my mileage this week though since this isn't really a goal race.

 

[merigayle]

40 mins on the stepper. Some arms today, girlie push ups.

 

[Hairy Trotter]

6.25 miles, easy pace, about 8 long and loose striders at the end. Most humid day of the year by far, though still great running conditions.

 

[jebba]

2.5 miles in 25:30 onthe 'mill. I meant to go longer, but Little Easy kept getting fussy. Of course as I write this, he is snoozing peacefully. I might pop in a yoga dvd.

 

[sistergoldenhair]

Taught pilates this morning -- it was fun to work with a new group, and in the health club setting not have to take attendance or scold people for being late to class.<br><br>
For cardio, I did an 1800 meter swim. I practiced 400m freestyle sets because that is the distance in the sprint tri I am looking at doing this summer. I did one "time trial" which I'm pretty sure was very slow, so there's lots of room for improvement.<br><br>
Alex, good luck in your meet! Do us proud and nab some hardware. It's fun to have a track athlete among us. I wish I'd done x-c and track in high school.

 

[dg1]

7 miles @ lunch. 3.5 w/the boys @ 7:20-7:25 pace. Then limped back in @ 8:20-8:25 pace.<br><br>
76 and bright sun.

 

[Liam3494]

After yesterdays time trial, it was an increase in distance and a reduction in pace today, with 4 Km in 20:47, around 8:21 pace. No problems and comfortable at this pace.<br><br>
((((Apologies for writing about Kilometres, and then giving my pace in minutes per mile, but the treadmill is set in Km's, but I have no idea how "fast or slow" 5:10 pace is per km - I went to school in good on minutes per mile!))))

 

[altoids]

1 hour trails.

[Amethyst]

Friday was my graduation from C25k, so today was my first day on the One Hour Runner program.<br><br>
2.5 miles in 30 minutes.

 

[Notey]

5.8 miles @ 7:40s without much effort. My legs are really starting to come back now. Perfect running conditions this morning, about 50F and sunny.

Hi all,<br><br>
Day 2, Week 2 of Pfitz/Douglas 18/70.<br><br>
Not quite as good as last week's performance, but it was 80 degrees tonight when I started. Last week it was in the 50s.<br><br>
Actually ran without a shirt tonight down at the track, it was that warm (sorry for the visual ladies...it's not a pleasant site).<br><br>
Anyway, here's the report:<br><br><b>Daily Run Report - Speed Work</b><br><br><b>Date:</b> 05/08/2007 <b>Time:</b> 17:45<br><b>Run Type:</b> Speed Work<br><b>Distance:</b> 8.0 miles<br><b>Total time:</b> 01:05:16.1 <b>Average Per Mile:</b> 00:07:31.8<br><b>Time at Speed:</b> 01:00:14.1 <b>Speed Miles:</b> 8.0 <b>Avg:</b> 00:07:31.8<br><b>Course:</b> Track<br><b>Max HR (for entire workout):</b> 182<br><b>Average HR:</b> 167<br><b>Shoes:</b> Mizuno Wave Rider 10 - 05/2007 <b>Date Entered Service:</b> 05/08/2007 <b>Ending Mileage:</b> 8.0<br><b>Weather:</b> Sunny and a bit breezy.<br><b>Temperature:</b> 80 <b>Temperature Type:</b> Ambient Air <b>Time:</b> Start<br><b>Temperature:</b> 76 <b>Temperature Type:</b> Ambient Air <b>Time:</b> End<br><b>Dew Point:</b> 25 <b>Time:</b> Start<br><b>Dew Point:</b> 23 <b>Time:</b> End<br><b>Wind speed:</b> 6 <b>Max Gust:</b> 18 <b>Direction:</b> SW<br><br>
Week 2 Day 2 of Pfitz/Douglas 18/70 program. Plan was 8 miles with 10x100m stride-outs.<br><br>
Again today I used the stride-outs as more of 100m speed burst.<br><br>
It was much warmer today than last week, and I felt the heat, but I also felt about as good as I did last week. Probably a good sign.<br><br>
A couple of the stride outs were run into the wind, and I really could feel the difference.<br><br>
First run in a pair of Mizuno Wave Rider 10. So far I like them.<br><b>Run Segments<br>

Hey EQ - What was the pace of the day? Your pace per mile is faster than 2/3 of my training miles. Just courious - when I did daniels plan - I did not run recovery and easy pace slow enough and over time it really took its toll.
