I had a solid streak of 24 days of running in a row, and an even better streak of five 50+ mile weeks in a row...two reluctant days off seems to have helped though, and a tough lesson learned to start the year will lead me to continue making the smart decisions so that I miss two days at the sign of injury instead of two months.
| Sunday | 29-Sep | Nahant 30k | 0:07:17 | 19.75 | Nahant 30k in 2:17:03. Meh. | |||||
| Monday | 30-Sep | Easy | 0:08:14 | 6.00 | Three hill route at lunch. Oof. | |||||
| Tuesday | 1-Oct | Intervals | 0:07:51 | 10.17 | 800x3/1000x3: 800's at 5k pace, 1000 at 8k/3k/8k pace - the 3k is a 200 meter surge in the middle. Left shin felt fine, but still feels like a bruise when I press on it. | |||||
| Wednesday | 2-Oct | Easy + Strides | 0:08:32 | 3.03 | Easy lap around Fresh Pond w/Eli and Raleigh then 10 barefoot strides. Left shin still in monitor mode. | |||||
| Thursday | 3-Oct | Moderate | 0:07:23 | 4.18 | Started easy around the Charles then inadvertently picked it up. Left shin didn’t bother me until the last quarter mile. Iced it up afterward. | |||||
| Friday | 4-Oct | Rest | 0.00 | Shin was sore enough that I reluctantly took a stupid pointless day off. Days off suck. | ||||||
| Saturday | 5-Oct | Rest | 0:09:07 | 1.20 | Very easy with Raleigh. Shin was OK, so I didn't go back out. Basically a day off. | |||||
Tuesday Splits:
800-2:50.7
800-2:48.4
800-2:45.9
1000-3:38.9
1000-3:35.5
1000-3:27.5
The track workout was probably my strongest workout ever. The normal folks that usually lead the intervals were either recovering from the 30k (or a 50-miler), or an injury - so I led each rep, which is something I'm not sure I have ever done. Apparently this works for me?
Total Miles: 44.33
