Training 10/5 to 10/11

10/5 Monday: 8.1 miles in 60 minutes

10/6 Tuesday: 10 miles in 65 minutes

2.5 miles of warm up at the track. Then 2000m in 6:30 goal was alternating 75 sec and 85 sec laps. Took 1 lap rest then did 8 x 800m with a goal pace of 2:30 with 90 sec rest. All of the 800's were 2:28 to 2:30. Felt OK, the effort did not seem hard, but I felt sluggish.

10/7 Wednesday: 7.2 miles in 54 minutes

10/8 Thursday: 6 miles in 67 minutes

10/9 Friday: 7.1 miles in 54 minutes

10/10 Saturday: 12 miles in 82 minutes

Easy 5 miles, followed by 4 miles at 5:35 pace, three miles easy. Felt OK, but not easy.

10/11 Sunday: 7 miles in 53 minutes

Total: 57.4 miles

First week of bringing the mileage down a bit. I am feeling OK, but not rested or fresh. I hope the next week of taper really gets my legs feeling good. Onlt one week till Baystate!
