Mon 9/8: Easy 56min, ~7.5mi. Ran into Eric's roommate on Steven's creek trail. Amazingly, achilles were feeling a lot better. Maybe it's the shoes.
New shoes arrived!
Tue 9/9: 4x1.1mi repeats again on Steven's Creek trail, going every 10 min. Killed it running 6:05, 6:10, 6:06, 6:00. Yes that's 20 sec per interval faster than 4 weeks ago, suck it. Eric averaged 10 sec faster per interval, so not that far behind. Felt pretty amazing. Definitely hurt, but what else are you supposed to expect. ~20min warmup and ~12min cooldown so 8.5mi total. My L hip flexor felt really funny during the warmup, but luckily that went away.
Wed 9/10: Legs really tired in general, and hamstrings sore. Kind of hurt in the beginning, but thankfully loosened up. ~6.5mi. First run in the new shoes! So awesome and pretty :D.
Thu 9/11: Amphitheatre hills again! 68, 67, 66, 65, 66, 65. Last time averaged 68, so this time was a lot better, plus it was windier so probably a harder workout. (For context, Eric averaged barely slower this time than last.) Really solid effort, legs were dying at the end of the last 3. Especially on the last one, felt like my legs were giving out at the end. ~6.5mi.
Fri 9/12: Extended lake loop again, pretty much the same run as Wed, legs pretty tired. ~48min, ~6.5mi.
Sat 9/13: For some reason, legs weren't particularly tired, but they didn't feel great either for the first half. Kept trying to slow down the pace at first because it was gonna be a long run and I didn't think I could hold the pace, but after half way through felt way better and definitely sped up a bit. Ran down Bernardo/Mary to Steven's Creek Blvd and then back up Mary. 69min, ~9.7mi. Really was hoping it was 10 miles, but not quite...
Sun 9/14: A bit of easy lifting.
Total: 45.2mi.
