4 mi It's good to reconnect and socialize, this was my first run since PB Marathon. Paul was kind with no mile sprint today, and the 43degree weather was a test enough for both. Thankfully no wind! Here are the details... 1 mi warmup jog. 800m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 400m w/200m recovery 400m … Continue reading Back to track

4 mi. No cooldown this week, time to dash home and get John ready for the school drive. I went way faster than I intended today, post race + 3 days. The workout favored short intervals and thankfully didn't have a timed mile, so I did well. I have to get through the breathing holds … Continue reading Put it down before I’m ready.
5 mi. I had all intentions of lying back and coasting thu the track workout today... and I did. I ran with Perry, who was off a good 1/2 Marathon the week prior. I remember thinking if Paul asks for a mile for time it will be my slowest mile ever recorded! I feel good, … Continue reading Socially showing up for a good one.
4 mi. No cooldown for me when John's waiting at home! Paul called for the timed mile today, I ran it concentrating on breathing deep. I finished with Erica at 5:55 a step behind. I could have gotten 5:50. Next time I will look to beat 5:50 because in November, unless it is after the … Continue reading Better miles and short intervals!
4 mi. I did the warmup, slower than most - I think people are training to see how fast they can do that jog mile! Our intervals today were mathematically figured out by Perry. He caught on to the ascending long intervals separated by the descending short 100s. 1 mi warmup 4 x 100m with … Continue reading Short runs and it was humid and still again…
4 mi. I was feeling the effects of a very long run Saturday when it came time to go fast. I think I was quick on maybe three of the intervals, the rest I stayed respectably behind Erica. LIke 100m behind her. The weather was 71 degrees and it was breezy, nice feeling when we … Continue reading Cooling off!
4 mi. This was a first, Paul sneaking in a mile for time days before most people were racing! I stayed back with Gary, thinking that would be 6:15 ish, but he ran a 6:02 and I was a step off that. I felt good after the mile which was in the middle of the … Continue reading Miles before a local race?
4 mi. Erica runs the workout for the second consecutive week with Paul at ITU Worlds in Budapest. I felt better than any track workout since April, I had good speed, ran some close to Atilla. I did well on 400ms and 1200m distances. I felt breathing was coming on well, I had extra to … Continue reading Erica 2
4 mi. Erica organized the track workout in Paul's absence. She said we'd do more longer things... and that's how it panned out. It was warm and no breeze - tough to breath. 1 mi warmup 1000m, 200m recovery 800, 200m recovery 400m, 200m recovery 400m, 200m recovery 600m, 200m recovery 800m, 200m recovery 600m, … Continue reading Longer and welcomed
