Sunday Run To The Pool
Felt pretty good after yesterday’s half marathon, so decided to run to the rec center for a swim. Wore the Newton Gravity training shoes and couldn’t help but run fast again! I started fairly conservatively with a 7:41 first mile and steadily got faster and faster for the remainder of the run: 7:02 6:54 6:51 [...]
Progressive Five Miler
Another character-building hot and humid run today; 5 progressively faster miles with a much needed cool down mile to finish. MotionBased hasn’t yet confirmed the temperature for my workout, but I would guess it was in the low 90′s. Humidity seemed high too and I was sweating uncontrollably before I’d covered half a mile. The [...]
Back Outside: Nice Tuesday Eight Miler
After yesterday’s treadmill run, it was great to get outside again for a late afternoon run in the sun. With the temperature in the mid-80′s I knew it could be a tough workout, but I planned on averaging seven minute miles for eight miles if I could last the pace. To err on the side [...]
Progressive 8 Miles: Coolest Run Of The Week
At 84°F, tonight’s run was the coolest of the week so far. I planned on an eight miler at around 7 minutes 30 seconds pace, but ended up racing the clock and having a great workout. The first mile was a steady 7:26 which felt really, really easy, which I followed up with a 7:08. [...]
Hot, Hot, Hot 6 Miler
Tough six miler tonight in hot and humid conditions. Luckily I was well hydrated otherwise it could have been a real struggle. I managed to run the first five miles progressively faster before finishing up with a slower last mile to “cool down”. Splits: 7:28 7:23 7:17 7:05 6:46 7:15 I’m looking forward to the [...]
Progressive Four Miler In The Sun
Headed out this afternoon for an easy four miler in the sun, and what an enjoyable run it was. To be honest, and it may come back to haunt me, I haven’t cut back on my mileage at all and even this week will be an increase on each of the last ten weeks. I’m [...]
