The date is August 24th, 2013. 3 minutes past 9 p.m. My second fall semester of college will commence next week, and if there is anything I learned these past couple of years doing school, work, and being a self-coached runner is that penning running plans almost two weeks ahead of time can directly lessen the daily stresses of life.
I find this act of juggling life fun.
The week of 8/18 through 8/24 started off horrible. The hill workout I did Friday had me feeling fatigue all the way up to Monday. On Tuesday I had a great speed workout. 5 x 1600m all in around 5:36-5:46. But other than that, it's been a bad week overall.
Onwards to the next 2 weeks folks:
Week 8/25-8/31
Sunday
14 miles (1:39:52-1:53:52)
*1 hour and 33 minutes of running Sunday morning. This is my first long run that I had to run in the morning due to work. Got in about 12 miles. Actually felt pretty good, considering I hate running in the mornings.
Monday
7 miles (49:56-53:19) + 6 x 200m in 38 sec.
*Awesome run this afternoon. I felt so so so light today! Completed the run in 49:57. Also, I had my first day of school today, and it turns out my psychology professor was a marathon runner. I'm looking forward to my MWF classes now.
Tuesday
4 x 2000m (7:49) w/ 3 minute recovery between rep
*Another great workout today. Might have underestimated my fitness level because those runs were easy. All reps were in 7:16-7:19.
Wednesday
12 miles (Not sure if I'm going to split the mileage up yet)
Thursday
7 miles (49:56-53:19) + 6 x 200m in 38 sec
Friday
45 min. of hills
Saturday
6 miles (42:48-45:48) + 10 x 100m strides
The 2nd week will pretty much be the same except Tuesday.
Tuesday will be 5 miles in 30:40-31:30 followed by 4 x 400m w/ 1 min. 30 sec. recovery
