Mon 2/24:
Lower Arroyo,
7.8mi. Soleus started feeling better after resting over the weekend, but lower really made it hurt a lot. Ran really fast for some reason, around 7min pace. Doing easy exercises after practice every day b/c don't want to irritate it before the workout.
Tue 2/25: 1600 at 3k pace, then 8, 4, 3 by 2. Ran 5:14 (I think), then 2:24, 70, 50, 2:28, 70, 52. Pretty much died on the last set, especially on the 800. ~7mi. Soleus doesn't feel as bad for track stuff.
Wed 2/26:
Crazy Tree,
6mi. Took it a bit easier, but soleus still hurting. Theory: going downhill makes it hurt the most. Uneven terrain (like rocks in the arroyo) also makes it hurt.
Thu 2/27: 4on, 1off by 4. Scott wanted it at 3k pace, no way that was gonna happy. Ran 2:43, 2:45, 2:45, 2:45 for the 800 splits. Ran with Will pretty much the whole time. Had a 1mi (2lap) bonus. Came through at 2:40, finished 5:20. Was supposed to be negative splits... ohh well. ~8.5mi.
Fri 2/28: Lacy long way, 4mi. Had lots of fun running in the rain, splashing Will and Mark the whole time.
Sat 3/1: Had not lots of fun running in the rain, doing a 15min tempo at the arroyo and then 12 45sec strides. Tempo was horrible, came through 1.5mi at 9:40. Did the first two strides in the Arroyo, the next 4 on the way back, and the last 6 on the track. Pace was around 36 sec for the 200 splits. ~11.5mi.
PM: Played a decent amount of easy DDR.
Total: 44.8mi + easy DDR.
46mi equivalent.
