Not super pleased with the paces, but it was a solid effort and a long workout. Glad that the 5 min pieces were a little quicker, pretty flat throughout this workout though

Treadmill 1:55:00 [3] 16.0 mi (7:11 / mi)

10 min warmup
10 miles (5:52, 5:52, :52, :52, :52, :49, :49, :49, :46, :46 = 5:49 ave/2:32:30 marathon pace)
3 min recovery
5 x 1k @ 5:33/mile, :30, :27, :24, :19 = 34:30/10k down to 33:00/10k
*** each with 2 min recovery jog ***
10 min cooldown

Followed by 15 min shake out DWR in the pool.

I know that I am supposed to be doing all my workouts outside and just working through the conditions and accepting that the effort is right, even though the paces are not... however, every once in a while it's nice to just hit some paces and remind myself that I am fit and that I can. That being said, I opted to do this workout on the treadmill rather than in the cold and wind because I really wanted to be able to focus on the right paces for this work out. I promise that I will stay off the treadmill, but I would like to make an effort to do occasional workouts either in Medford or in McMinnville where it is a lot flatter and there isn't the constant wind.

The workout felt good though and I felt pretty strong throughout.

Trail 1:27:00 [3] 12.0 mi (7:15 / mi)

Great run on trails from Shevlin park to Phils Trail and back... one of those runs were I actually felt like I wanted to keep going through the middle so added on a little, just kept the pace casual. Very enjoyable run with the sun out.

10 min warm-up
40 min Tempo (5:48, 6:00, 5:56, 5:57, 5:56, 6:10, 5:57 = 5:57 average)

3 x 6 min (5:34/mile, 5:37, 5:34) w/ 2-3 min recovery
15 min cool-down

*** To pool for 20 min shake out DWR ***

Did not feel super perky out there for the tempo. It was a solid effort though and accomplished what it was meant to. After switching into flats for the 6 min pieces I felt a lot better and was able to have much better quality for those efforts. All in all felt like it was a solid effort on less than primed legs.

Road 1:13:00 [3] 10.5 mi (6:57 / mi)

Was a little lethargic from yesterdays workout and not quite enough sleep, Ran at 5a because working all day. Foot felt fine the whole run until the last five to ten minutes and then all of a sudden it really started hurting again... I don't really know what set it off.

Road 2:00:00 [3] 19.0 mi (6:19 / mi)

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/7491605...

Route was actually 17.66 miles but I effed up on my watch when I stopped it to use a porta-john.... so there are a couple of weird miles in the middle that aren't accurate... The origianal plan was to do the first 6 @ 6:20/mile, next 6 @ 6:10/mile, last 6 at 6:00/mile.... ended up being kind of all over the place with some wind, elevation gain and loss, some gravel sections... but was at a comfortably hard pace, so didn't feel like I was really getting after it until probably the last 10k. Didn't notice any foot pain.

5:57, 6:00, :601, 6:01, 6:17, 6:16, 6:19, 6:08, 6:11, 6:13, 6:21, ?:??, 6:03, 5:58, 6:08, 6:08, 6:05, 5:49 = 6:06/mile average

Treadmill 55:00 [3] 7.86 mi (7:00 / mi)

Ran on treadmill to avoid turning and for a softer surface to see how my foot felt, originally intended to only go 30 mins to test it out, but the foot felt fine so went longer

25 degrees, clear, 10 mph wind

- 30 min tempo run (6:13, 5:53, 5:47, 6:07, 5:49 = 5:57 average) over some hills and combo of pavement and gravel
- 4 x 5 min (5:42/mile pace, 5:45, 5:34, 5:41)
*** 2 min recovery jog btw all***

Felt a little sore and lethargic still, but not bad. My arch was sore, especially by the end of the workout. Had a hard time getting into a groove for some reason.

Road 1:25:00 [3] 12.2 mi (6:58 / mi)

Run around Bend, a little more lethargic than the "long run" yesterday in Phoenix. Funny how your legs will do that some times and get a little more sore progressively for a few days rather than less.... nothing terrible, just a little general soreness

Road 29:00 [3] 4.0 mi (7:15 / mi)

Left foot felt like my sock was bunched up on the inside of my foot and it became very painful by the end of the run. I am not sure if I just bruised my foot or if I actually did some kind of damage to by arch during this run but this is the first time I noticed it... The only other thing I could think of was that my arches and feet were cramping up a ton once I finished pear... which is very unusual for me. Knock on wood, but my feet don't cramp hardly ever.

Race (Pear Blossom) 1:25:00 [3] 14.0 mi (6:04 / mi)

Ran Pear Blossom 10 miler in 57:07 (5:42/mile average). Very little wind on the way out, very calm about 45 to 50 degree, pretty much perfect for racing. Only used Garmin for first two miles due to pack of 4 to 5 gentlemen running around the goal pace. 5:36/mile 1, 5:40/mile 2, 17:01 thru three miles, back and forth with the guys in the pack until it start to spread out with about three to go, lead biker let me know I was at 51:30ish with a mile to go, so knew that I would need around 5:3x to run the 57:00. This was the most controlled I have felt at the ten mile distance, felt like I did hold back at times during the middle of the race, but was able to get after is especially in the last 2.5 to 3 miles.

I did take TWO days pretty easy prior to the race rather than just the one, and didn't double friday or thursday... I think that made a huge difference as well.

Was really frustrated with this workout initially, I didn't realize until I went back and looked at it that I had actually cut down at the end, a lot of it just felt like a grind, not really strong or fast.... but I shuffle for an hour and half, but was encouraged when I look at the consistency (other than the 15 minute piece that for some reason was falling apart????) Hard to figure out if/when these workouts are successful or not

25 min tempo with :30 hard every 5th min (5:45/1st mile, 6:06/2nd mile, 5:50/3rd mile, 5:37/4th mile + .25 mile = 5:50/mile average)

3 min recover

8 x 3 min hard (5:27/mile average, :57, :35, :33, :28, :40, :32, :40)

This week has been very challenging. I feel that both these workouts had the right effort level, but that things outside of training were accumulating... Lot's of extra hours, extra stress, less sleep... all of this related to being understaffed at work... and it's frustrating. I also know that it's not easy to hit paces when it's 25 degrees with a 20 mph wind chill that feels like 18 degree... but these are all distractions that can be managed, or at least their effect can be minimized. I need to streamline and simplify my life, it's hard to care less about your performance in any area of life... be it work, relationships, or running. However, I guess part of this stuff is prioritizing what is MOST important to you (even though it is all important) and accepting that you can't do and be everything to everyone... and being ok with areas of your life being less that perfect in order to make the more important areas better.

I have such a hard time quantifying efforts when their are uncontrolled things to try to factor in, I can't help but feel bad about efforts that aren't at the paces that I really want or are not the max number of reps. I know that I am still getting good things out of the workout, but I don't know if I am getting every thing I could have out of the effort. I want to maximize every effort.
