Week 6, Day 5
Phase: Pre-Marathon
Workout: 35 to 45 minute Easy Run
Purpose: Build Endurance
Legs felt pretty trashed tonight after yesterday’s fartlek workout. It actually hurt less to run faster (if that makes sense) - hence the two quicker miles in the middle of the 40 minute run.

Splits: 7:51 7:23 7:27 7:51 7:51

With tomorrow’s 8k Mud Run race in the back of my mind, I intentionally slowed right down for the final two miles and tried to take it easy.

I’m up to the 37 miles for the week with at least 5 tomorrow and 16-18 on Sunday - could be a 60 mile week!

Enjoy the weekend, whatever you’re doing….

Wow… 60 miles. I don’t even have that in my head. I would doubt I ever do that (unless I do two LSDs in the same 7 day span).

I feel the same about people who run 80 and 90 miles a week. I guess it’s all relative…

Cheers for the comment!
