3/30 - 4/4 Workout Summary
Monday, March 30 - Cross Train/Weights
Since it was the day after the race I hit the elliptical trainer for 45 minutes and lifted weights. I felt good, but tired after a hard effort yesterday.
Tuesday, March 31 - Easy Run
My legs felt worse today so I just ran a couple of easy loops in the park with Wish.
Stats - 6.04 miles
Wednesday, April 1 - 800s at Arbor Trail
I went back to speed work today and did 6x800 at Arbor trail. I wasn't as fast as I ran a couple of weeks ago, but still decent times for this time of year. Splits - 3:31, 3:35, 3:31, 3:34, 3:35, 3:27 - 3:32 average.
Stats - 6.52 miles
Thursday, April 2 - Recovery Run in SW Austin
I ran my usual 8 mile route with Wish today. We ran at a nice clip for a recovery run.
Stats - 8.2 mils/1:10:24/8:35 pace
Friday, April 3 - Crosstrain/Weights
I hit the gym for 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer plus weights.
Saturday, April 4 - Long Run
Today we ran part of the Austin marathon course and then hit Pecos on the return. I wanted to start testing my theory of running long runs closer to my 8:00 MGP pace and did it during today's run. We tend to start out really slow and then finish fast, but the marathon is about even splits and negative splits are really difficult...especially large ones. The first mile was at almost 10:00 so I pushed it after that. By mile 4 I was in the low 8:40 range and still ended up running the last 3 miles in 8:15, 8:06, 7:52. It was a great run!
Stats - 12.68 miles/1:48:57/8:35 pace
