If I had to choose a singlet design for race day, it would be inspired from something like this:
Anyway,
Week 18-till began with brutality:
Sunday:
1 mile easy + 6 miles @ marathon pace + 1 mile easy + 5 x 2km with 2/min. rest + 1.5 mile easy.
Total: 16 miles.
First marathon workout of a 3-week cycle accompanied by El Chaparro & El Guero. To have people just excited for an ass-beating like you is a privilege. Lost contact with Guero around mile 5 of the workout so from there to the finish was solo effort. Properly fueled this time so I didn't crash like the week prior. Thankful for the cloudy weather. Overall felt good!
Monday:
AM: Easy 5
Legs were so sore. Through the Lakewood hills with Abigail.
PM: Strength workout
Tuesday:
7 miles + strides
More Lakewood hills with Abigail.
Wednesday
AM: 5 miles
Dark humid morning. Abigail joined me on the latter part of the run.
PM: 2 miles easy + 4 x 1 mile w/ 1 min. rest. + 1 mile easy
First time doing a workout with morning miles under the engine. Wasn't sure what to expect, but did notice legs were completely dead at the warm-up. Surprisingly, once I got the workout started it was just a matter of controlling the threshold effort to the finish. Originally planned for 5 x 1 mile, but had to cut it do 4 =(
