Mon 9/15: 2x2.2mi tempo going with 2 min rest (aka going every 15). Ran 13 (split 6:30) then 12:40 (split 6:20), second one in spikes, goal was to stay in control while maintaining a fast (near race) pace. Put a lot of focus on form, especially since it was my first time wearing spikes since track. The first one felt really good/pretty easy. It was pretty shocking being in spikes at the start of the second one, felt really fast in comparison and definitely sped up a bit. Still felt in control in the second one, but had to push the last half mile a lot harder to keep pace. Felt really bad afterwards, probably because I had such a long (30min) warm up and had to rush to dinner (12min cool down). Legs were really really sore at night, stomach was uncomfortable, and was a bit nauseated. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow, definitely going to take an easy recovery day. ~9.5mi total.
Tue 9/16: Went really easy since legs were sore from yesterday's workout, ~5mi.
Wed 9/17: Off, left my shorts at home.
Thu 9/18: AM: ~5mi, legs were feeling pretty bad. Was gonna do a fartlek, but just wasn't feeling it, so only did a few speed-ups.
PM: Did some stationary bike/core/upper body
Fri 9/19: AM: Easy 20min with a few strides, 2.5mi.
PM: Drove 6 hours... back at Caltech!
Sat 9/20: Alumni Race! Turns out the current athletes were doing a 5on/2off fartlek instead of the race, so pretty much had to race alone. Was still fun though, went out way too hard the first lap (shouldn't have kept up with Gus). Splits ~8:47, 9:30, 9:30. 27:47 is decent, but 2 sec off from my pr. Eric and I passed each other a few times throughout, but didn't manage to catch him on his final rest. Ane and Jared were decently close (probably were going a bit faster than me during the on), and went fast through their final rest trying to catch me haha. ~10mi.
Sun 9/21: Lifted with the team. Then drove back up to the bay area.
