So, today was supposed to be the 3 hrs 15 min run. However, my feet are a mess. I think I'm going to make an appointment for the injury from the boot that's on the right side. The injury on the left foot that's on the top of the ankle is getting much better! The right foot is a little concerning because it was getting better then suddenly changed for the worse.

Anyway, I needed to go out for something a little longer and I feel like I've lost some fitness so I went out for the 10 miles today. I'm leaning towards not doing the 50 miler (in two weeks) unless something changes drastically... for the better.

I'd like to keep my long runs around 10 - 15 miles for right now, until I figure out this thing. I am consistently icing morning and night and that's definitely helping. I need to keep running, no doubt and once I warm up, it's fine. The weekday intervals are great and not a problem, so everything but long distance I'd like to keep doing and improving.

I did everything on the schedule except Run 3 for this week.

Here are my splits for today:

Mile 1: 10:56 m/m
Mile 2: 9:45 m/m
Mile 3: 9:23 m/m
Mile 4: 9:25 m/m
Mile 5: 10:12 m/m
Mile 6: 10:08 m/m
Mile 7: 10:17 m/m
Mile 8: 9:52 m/m
Mile 9: 10:13 m/m
Mile 10: 10:02 m/m
Mile 10.46: 10:02 m/m

Very hot run!! I think it was 90 or so, but it was a wonderful run!!

I love doing these intervals on a track!!

Warm up:

Mile 1: 10:31 m/m

Workout:

Run #2: Flat Cruise Intervals on treadmill or a flat smooth surface outside. After the normal 15:00 easy run warmup and a few flat strides, the workout is 4 x 1 mile @ threshold pace with just a 1 minute recovery (instead of usual 2:00) consisting of easy running between each. Try to go no slower than normal easy pace though you may have to between the last few. Cool-down with another 15:00 of easy running.

Here are the splits, but these include the 1 min cool down so I'm not sure how fast I did them. I went by feel, so I think I was around 7:40 m/m, a lot slower than I should have been according to your plan! :(

Mile 2: 8:54 m/m
Mile 3: 7:26 m/m
Mile 4: 7:47 m/m
Mile 5: 7:31 m/m
Mile 6: 7:43 m/m
Mile 7: 8:44 m/m
Mile 7.92: 10:08 m/m

Great run, but out of breath and tough!
