Weights 30:00 [0]

Running (Easy run w/ team) 45:00 [1] 4.5 mi (10:00 / mi)

Super easy run w/ team - don't even know if it counts as training! The heat got to some of the athletes, so the pace was extremely slow.

Monday Aug 30, 2010 #

Running (Easy run w/ team) 45:00 [1] 4.0 mi (11:15 / mi)

Easy run around Elms XC course w/ team. Super easy pace - almost shuffling!

Running (Easy run) 28:00 [1] 3.5 mi (8:00 / mi)

After practice, I needed to get in a few quality miles so I ran a lap around Holyoke Reservoirs w/ Abby. Felt good to stretch the legs out, but could feel the fatigue from GLER50k.

Sunday Aug 29, 2010 #

Running race (Ultra Race) 4:20:00 [4] 31.0 mi (8:23 / mi)

Green Lakes 50k. Felt great - 4 laps around rolling course, heat got to me in the later laps, but did 1:01 (~7:55/mile), 1:02 (~8:00/mile), 1:07 (8:39/mile) and 1:09 (8:54/mile) for my laps. Felt strong, aggressive for first few laps, then settled into my comfy pace for the last two laps. Dropped the hammer and finished off with 2 miles @ 7:00/mile pace which felt great.

Saturday Aug 28, 2010 #

Note

Took the day off. Had Green Lakes 50k the next day, and the calf was still super tight. Rested, foam rolled, and self-massaged the calf.

Friday Aug 27, 2010 #

Running (Easy run) 1:45:00 [1] 10.5 mi (10:00 / mi)

No idea on distance - ran @ Mt. Tom w/ Nick, Brian, Chris and Amanda. Cut my run a bit short due to super tight/painful right calf, but otherwise felt great.

Thursday Aug 26, 2010 #

Running (Tempo) 1:21:00 [3] 10.6 mi (7:38 / mi)

Tempo run w/ Kim and Laura in Noho. Did ~4 mile warmup to Look Park, then did 6 x 4 min on, 1 min off at tempo (guessing 6:30-6:45) pace. Intervals were done during two loops of Look Park then down the bike path. Cooldown the rest of the way down the bike path. Felt a bit sluggish, but am hoping that it was only because Kim and Laura were kicking my butt! Right calf still super tight.

Wednesday Aug 25, 2010 #

Running (Easy run) 1:03:00 [1] 7.8 mi (8:05 / mi)

Easy run w/ Abby and Kim in Northampton - loop from Kim's house up Rt. 9 to Look Park and back on bike path. Felt good but right calf and left hammy tight.

Running (Easy run) 1:20:00 [1] 7.0 mi (11:26 / mi)

Super easy run w/ Nick and Chris - did loop at Mt. Tom. We were so relaxed, we walked the long uphills.

Tuesday Aug 24, 2010 #

Running (Track workout) 1:20:00 [4] 10.5 mi (7:37 / mi)

Track workout with Abby - from her house to Holyoke Track, then 8x800s @ ~3:15 w/ 400 recovery. Cool down to her house. Felt ok, but had to push hard for the last few intervals. Calf tightened up in last few intervals.

Saturday Aug 21, 2010 #

Running (Speed Hiking) 13:50:00 [3] 32.0 mi (25:56 / mi)

MMD 50k - 'nuff said! Felt great, even with the hiking portion. Was lucky to have my trail running legs on and be able to cruise through some of the rocky sections. Did the route up Imp Trail, over Carters and Wildcats, then down ski slope, up Tucks to Huntington, and over Washington, Clay, Jefferson, Adams and Madison before returning. Crazy!

Friday Aug 20, 2010 #

Note

Day off - just couldn't find the time to train, especially with MMD starting at midnight.

Track workout w/ Abby. Warmed up to track (2.5 mi) then 10 x 400 repeats at ~1:32 each. Cooled down back. Felt good but had to push the tempo pretty good to keep that pace up. Feel like I don't have speed in my legs right now!

Sunday Aug 15, 2010 #

Running (Trail race) 1:47:00 [3] 11.0 mi (9:44 / mi)

Savoy - felt like I still had '100-mile legs', but survived the race. Contemplated doing the 22 miler, but the prickers on the course chewed up my freshly torn up knees, and it jsut wasn't worth it!

Saturday Aug 14, 2010 #

Running (Easy run) 35:00 [1] 4.5 mi (7:47 / mi)

Ran at Earl's trails - felt really great, but fell three times and tore up my legs. Ended up hiking back out for fear that I would fall again and cause serious damage.

Walking 30:00 [1] 3.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

Walked back out on Earl's trails after face planting several times. Blah!

Friday Aug 13, 2010 #
