I had an AWESOME week of running. I didn’t really try to get in the miles, they just happened. I didn’t do anything extra (okay, besides Sunday’s fun run, but we were SUPPOSED to get moving) and I followed the plan. The weather was gorgeous (or awesomely rainy) and I was able to run outside every day. In shorts! So let’s get to it, shall we?
Sun- 10 miles. 90 minutes with some beautiful ladies. It was gorgeous out so we ran down to the resevoir and it was SO MUCH FUN. I could have gone for 3 hours I think. It was just that perfect.
It was too good not to repost
Mon- 7 miles long run. Glorious. Plus weights!
Tues- 9.5 miles… dun dun dunnnnnn. Track workout. Ew. Hate these days. I ran with Christine and we found our groove but those 5x1000s plus the 200s all out after definitely didn’t feel good. It did help prepare me for Saturday though. Plus weights!
Wed- 5 miles. This is technically our cross-training day and it was pouring rain outside so naturally that meant I was going to beg to go out. Kidding, our coach was okay with the distance runners going out, but only for a half hour. We mayyyy have gone for 45 minutes but how can you resist puddle jumping? Plus weights! (I’m on a roll!)
Thurs- 6 miles “tempo”. Yea…. about that. I ran with Christine and our legs were shot. We went pretty easy at a slightly more difficult conversation pace but since the track workout was cancelled due to the 40mph winds, it wasn’t a planned workout by our coach anyways. We finished with 10x150m technique drills where we did an altered version of an Indian run to practice running the curve.
Fri- 5.75 miles pre-meet run. Practice was cancelled so we had independent runs which I actually kind of enjoyed. It wasn’t bad at all despite how long I put it off for and how cold it was.
Sat- 10.5 miles MEET DAY. 5K race recap coming atcha soon!
Total: 53.75 miles. I think this might be a new personal high mileage record!
Don’t quote me on that, but it’s pretty freaking close which makes me even more excited about this week! I love long runs 
Yep. This was a good week.
What was the highlight of your training week?
Mine was definitely Sunday’s long run.
