Saturday Apr 14 |
 | Running long 3:10:00 [1]24.0 mi (7:54 / mi) | |
| |
| ran with a group for the first half going over the Pike's Peek course up and back. Ran the rest alone. Ended up running around 7:40-7:45 miles in reality loosing time in interstections and for commentary about the course. Ran the second half alone which was much smoother since I did not have traffic to deal with. After thinking our team was DQed in the marathon received the heart rate monitor today in the mail- it is really nice! |
Friday Apr 13 |
| Running 48:00 [1]6.0 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| |
| easy run before the long on Saturday. The O meet on Sunday will be interesting with the nasty weather forecasted for the area. |
| Note | |
| |
| After thinking that are team had won the National marathon it looks like we were DQed. We were DQed when one person on the team, whose time did not count toward the win, did not run the race. Another person who had his number gave it to someone else that ran the entire race going across the finish line never bothering to tell anyone he/she was not the person on the bib and associated with the chip. |
Thursday Apr 12 |
| Running 1:12:00 [1]9.43 mi (7:38 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran on the C & O canal with a group. Ended up being two of us that could run together. Ran until it was almost dark. Pretty good pace considering it was slightly wet packed sand. I had no problem talking at this pace plus I was carrying water that I really did not need. time includes a bathroom stop. |

| Running 48:00 [1]6.0 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| |
| Recovery day. |
| Weightlifting 1:10:00 [2] | |
| |
| This session seemed to be productive. Have to modify/figure out how to do it in my gym versus the other place. Someone actually asked me if I was an ultrarunner. Most people before were completely clueless that I even ran- maybe this workout is really working. That started a conversation with someone else who was running a half marathon that asked me for advice. Almost did the entire workout skipped a couple things due to the time. Still need to make it a list which is easier to follow. |
Tuesday Apr 10 |
| Running warm up/down 24:00 [1]3.0 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| |
| |
| Running intervals 28:00 [4]4.5 mi (6:13 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran four set of 4 X 300 with 500 m rest between the sets and 100 m rest in between each one. Managed to run fairly well with times of 63 and 64 with a couple at 65. Only two of us in the group and he is somewhat faster so ran them alone. |
Monday Apr 9 |
| Running 32:00 [1]4.0 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran to the gym and back. |
| Weightlifting 20:00 [2] | |
| |
| Wanted to get some training in with my new routine. Only did part of it plus not enough time to do all the sets I want. My legs felt better once I was done rather stiff from yesterday's run due to the cold weather plus need more flexibility which this workout gives. |
Sunday Apr 8 |
| Running long 3:20:00 [1]25.0 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| |
| ran easy even with the cold weather. Took the metro back and ran part of the way back to the house. Did not add this mileage at this point just junk mileage after 25. Did not run smoothly until after two hours probably because of how cold it was. Planned to go to the gym just the offer of food far outweighed wanting to lift weights. |
