So if the title isn't obvious enough, I'm thinking about switching to middle distance. Now I know that I'm really lacking speed, but hey there's still a month to work on that. All I know is that my 5ks have all been going really badly, and despite doing very little speed work, my 1500s have been (relatively) better. Also, I don't think I could possibly get much better at the 5k this season having run at most 40 miles a week. In general, Scott's program is really suited much better towards middle distance, and I'm not sure if just throwing tempo miles in the beginning / end of a workout really helps for the 5k that much. Most likely running 1500 at PP, 800 and something else at next SCIAC, and 1500 and 5k at SCIAC champs.
Mon 3/31: Lower, 7.8mi. Taking it easy. Biceps / pecs a bit sore from yesterday.
Tue 4/1: 3 x (4 x 400), at around 1500 pace again. 73, 72, 72, 72, 71, 72, 73, 72, 72, 71, 73, 74. Totally thought I was gonna finish strong, and then just totally died at the end. I can never actually hit 1500 pace on these workouts, I blame lack of speed. 6.5mi.
Wed 4/2: Crazy tree! For once, the weather matched the run. 6mi.
Thu 4/3: 2 on 1 off x 7, plus 6 Pattons. ~8.5mi.
PM: DDR with Ayu in the sac.
Fri 4/4: 40 min, ~5mi.
Sat 4/5: 2 x 4 x 300m every 3 min. 49, 49, 50, 49, 48, 48, 47, 48. Fabian really killed it at the end. ~7mi.
Sun 4/6: Lifted with Will again!
Total: 40.8mi + DDR.
