Post  KBFitz Sun Aug 07, 2011 10:56 am

So finally a normal healthy week of training. Contrary to the last three weeks, I had no brutally hot twilighter race on Saturday evening. Contrary to the past two weeks I had no hot steamy second run on Tuesday with chums. No. Just straight-up training. Yeah, I moved some stuff around to deal with a head cold, but it felt very good to get back in the groove. It's August in DC. It's the time of year the city reminds us that it was built in a swamp. We just suck it up. That's what I did.

Here's a big shout out to Dave Bussard who absolutely obliterated the masters competition and most of the rest of the field too at Steve's Run in Dowagiac, MI last weekend. Superb!

Week 10 of 26. Training for Memphis St. Jude. Goal 3:15 to 3:19:59.

M. 5+ Recovery. 84/75dp

T. 8. GA. 81/71dp

W. 15. Long. 84/75dp

T. 5+. Recovery. 85/76dp

Week 3 of fall marathon training. In keeping with my slow build-up after my post-Boston layoff, this week was roughly a 10% increase from the week prior. In addition to 5 days of running, I also did 4 days of core and upper body strength training, so several of the days involved two workouts. I'll probably make the coming week my first step back week.

Tuesday: 6 easy miles (8:58/mile)
Wednesday: 8.5 miles total with 2 x 1 mile and 2 x 5 min intervals at about 7:30/pace (between HM and 10K)
Thursday: 5 miles easy/recovery (9:12/mile)
Saturday: 12 miles LSD (9:00/mile)
Sunday: 4 miles recovery running in the soup (9:30/mile)

Total for the week: 35.5 miles

So much humidity here too. Although this week is looking good so far.

I measure my weeks from Sunday to Saturday, just to be different and difficult. Here's what I did last week. The increase in doubles is due to training for the Ragnar Relay race. I'm on an ultra team and race weekend is fast approaching (8/19-8/20).

Su - 18 @ 7:36
M 10 @ 7:30
Tu 10 in the am @ 7:05 & 10 in the pm @ 7:08
W 12 in the am @ 6:36 & 10 in the pm @ 6:56
Th 10 in the am @ 7:47 & 10 in the pm @ 7:16 (w/ hill repeats)
F Run to work and run home 13.5 in the am @ 7:47 & 13.5 in the pm @ 7:25
Sa Easy 8 @ 7:28
Total Miles = 125
