11/3 to 11/9: First 80 Mile Week

Can I get a 'hell yeah'!?

(Thanks Mike. Thanks AC. You guys didn't have to do that out loud, now everyone is staring at you.)


This week wasn't totally unexpected, but I'm in uncharted territory so I didn't know what to expect. And finishing the week feeling totally healthy is pretty much the best result I could hope for. Based on how the week went, I can foresee this becoming a pretty standard looking week during marathon training. I could also see the mileage increase...we shall see.

Data! 


Sunday 3-Nov Long Run 0:07:39 14.19 Battle Road. Pizza + fish&chips + beer + poker = ImDumb
Monday 4-Nov Moderate/Moderate 0:07:35 11.09 Moderately paced 4/7 double. Some pickups at the end of the evening run felt great. Left toe took awhile to loosen up. Right achilles/ankle/foot is an annoyance to keep an eye on.
Tuesday 5-Nov Intervals 13.76 800/1000/1200/1600/600/400 - Eight and up at 5k pace, six and four at 3k or faster. Really couldn't hold a strong pace on the 1600, and didn't feel comfortable on the 400 despite respectable splits. An eight mile warm up and lots of miles are the likely cause.
Wednesday 6-Nov Easy/Easy 10.58 Commute to work, commute home, and 5 strides. Legs were really tired and stiff. I think the strides helped out.
Thursday 7-Nov Moderate/Hills 12.42 Commute to and from work, then 10 repeats on Appleton.
Friday 8-Nov Easy 0:08:00 4.03 Commute to work.
Saturday 9-Nov Long Run 0:07:58 14.27 Battle Road. Easy & relaxed pace.
Splits: 
800 - 2:48.7
1000 - 3:30.9
1200 - 4:14.3
1600 - 5:42.8
600 - 2:00.3
400 - 1:09.7

Total: 80.34
