I just realized... there's less than 3 weeks until the alumni race. That's super exciting, but on the other hand, it seems like just a while back I had 9 weeks. Time flies when you're running fast ;P.
Mon 9/1: Ran with Stan to Menlo park and back. 75min, ~10mi. At least I think we were going 7:30 pace. Felt fast.
Tue 9/2: 20 minute tempo, splits were around 6:20, 12:50, 18, around 5:50 pace. Apparently these were like 5sec slower than Diddy and Eric's splits on their previous tempo. Good to know my 20 minute pace is almost as fast as their 28 minute pace... Felt like I was going pretty fast, and definitely was pushing it the whole time. Stomach felt a bit funny, maybe my abs are a bit sore. ~7mi total.
Wed 9/3: ~7mi, 50min, a bit faster than usual but felt pretty good.
Thu 9/4: 1on 1off fartlek by 12. 19 minute warm up, 15 minute cool down. Legs were really tired even before the workout (maybe shouldn't have pushed yesterday as much). Felt pretty bad, but stuck with it and managed to run decently fast. Pretty sore afterwards. Definitely going to take the next few days a little easier. I'm really happy with my quality of training the last two weeks, been making some really good improvements. Gotta be careful though because after today's workout, both knees were hurting a bit and my soleus sometimes hurts a bit while running too. 60min, ~8mi.
Also, got new shoes! I feel like both my shoes have 300+ miles on them so definitely time to get a new on in the rotation. Unfortunately, there are no more Ravenna 4's in my size, so I had to get a more expensive Ravenna 5.
Fri 9/5: 45min, ~6mi. Felt way harder than it should have. Legs are not happy, right hip was hurting a bit. Most likely crosstraining over the weekend.
Sat 9/6: Off.
Sun 9/7: Ran really easy 52min, ~6.5mi on Coyote Creek trail. For some reasons achilles were hurting a lot.
Total: 44.5mi.
