Fuel SMART,Train HARD, Run FAST.

I need to start documenting my training again.. Every year I come back to my blog to read how I felt or how fast I ran a workout but now the data is getting old and I need to document again, for posterity. ;)

Boston training starts today! 

2 mi warm up @8:30

Alternate hill 400 workout

12x400 @ -3% @6:10ap (6:00-6:18) 83%HR

12x400@ 3% incline @9:40 175HR

Incline 400’s felt harder but they weren’t supposed to be. Interesting my HR was similar. I definitely looked forward to the fast intervals, my weakness is clearly running hills. 

The ground was still moving during the workout (from my cruise) but mostly happens when I run or walk for a long time. Getting better but so nauseated  through most of it. Blah!

Easy recovery run, 7:57ap

Progression run. Started at 8:00 then worked down 10 secs per mile to 7:10. This workout felt much harder today than I thought it would be on paper. My legs felt heavy and tired. I’m on the Brooks Hanson plan that especially emphasizes  cumulative fatigue more than other plans I’ve done, and makes mundane workouts feel horrible. Can’t remember why I picked the plan. I didn’t expect to feel it yet in the first week, that’s probably not supposed to happen yet. 😂Def could have used some caffeine today.

LPT snow and ice edition. 8:20ap w/ trax 

Granduer with a fun group, Brent, Craig, Scott and Erik for part. I’ve agreed to trail runs about once a week during training. Such a nice way to break up the pounding lately.
