I ran a good 16 miles at Daniels Park today. I covered the first half in 50 mins (pretty fast for a long run), but somehow I ran the second half in 48:30. Not only was this pretty good pace for a long run, but it was also negative splits (something pretty rare for me). I felt good with the effort. I can't wait to sharpen up a bit and get racing!

I ran slow and easy today, and threw in 8x150 meter strides at the end. I am going to do some core strength excercises later today, too.

Today was a scheduled threshold workout. I began with a three mile warmup, then did a bit of moving stretches. The plan was to do 5x1 mile repeats at 5:32/mile with a one minute rest between intervals. I started out conservative, as to not destroy the full workout in the first mile. My mile splits were as follows: 5:20, 5:20, 5:12, 5:18, 5:23. Overall, I felt pretty good and this pace felt very manageable (It also helped that I stayed conservative at the beginning). To finish, I did 4x200 meter repeats at 32-33 second pace. I was happy with the effort today, and I feel that with a few more of these types of workouts with some occasional speedwork, I should be ready to roll come time trials!

Nice run today out to the Chatfield dam and back. Today was the medium-long run for the week, comprising about 75% of my long run. In all, I felt really good. It was hot out, so that slowed me down a bit, but besides that today was most excellent!

Easy run today with some strides at the end. It was way too hot for running.

Today was a fartlek workout, consisting of 12x1min at just sub-max pace with equal rest after intervals. It felt pretty good to hit some fast pace. I did a three mile cooldown afterwards. My right IT band seems tight; I'll have to use the roller for a while today.

Really easy today to rest for tommorrow, and to let my IT band loosen up a bit. It was cool and rainy today, a great change!
