12/20/17

Week of 12/11-12/17

Mon 12/11 - PM 55 minutes easy.

Tue 12/12 - PM 50 minutes incl. 6x400. For once, discretion was the better part of valor and I chose the low end of the suggested range of reps for this session. Slightly longer recoveries (just under 2 minutes) than what I would normally do but of course this allowed me to do them faster as well. Splits of 73.6, 73.1, 73.6, 72.8, 72.4, 72.7.

Wed 12/13 - PM 60 minutes easy.

Thu 12/14 - PM 50 minutes easy. Wanted to do some pickups near the end but the hamstrings weren't feeling up to it. Cold and windy.

Fri 12/15 - PM 60 mimutes incl. 5x1200. Short rest of just under a minute made for a broken tempo type effort. Not much of a sense of what pace was appropriate but figured it out fairly quickly. Overall felt quite controlled, other than the last one when I got a bit ahead of myself esp. the last lap.

4:19.7 (56)
4:16.9 (56)
4:15.3 (57)
4:13.5 (57)
4:10.3

Sat 12/16 - off. I had planned to do a run in the evening but after spending the entire day in the city with a good chunk of it walking around outside I was too pooped and it was too late by the time we got home.

Sun 12/17 - AM 50 minutes easy, TJ run. Legs stiff, quite cold but thankfully not very windy. PM 40 minutes, quicker than the morning run but not terribly fast.
