Fitness Statement | My goal is to run 6 days each week with one day rest (core work). I try to run a different course with different shoes each morning with a different purpose in this sequence: rest, hard tempo, easy, hard intervals, easy, long, then medium long (on tired legs). Ultimate goal is to get under 3 hour marathon and break 40minutes in 10K. |
Quote | “The marathon is a trail, a door, that the runner must pass.” |

Long Run
Longest run in 3 months...over-dressed with sweats, jacket, hat, gloves...shed them all over 10 miles. Miles 16-18 were hardest. Had 1 GU, 2 magic beans, and one caffeine pill, as my legs were dragging with sore upper hamstring/glutes. Finished with 2 faster miles.
Tempo
Warm up for 2 miles (very sore and cold today)
Intervals - 2x2miles with 4x0.3mi with jog between sets
Easy Hills of Winchester
Perfect morning with lull in rain. Focus on form with Newtons.
Long run
Longest run in over 5 weeks.
Kept pace in very comfortable range to get time on legs and see how body feels at end... hamstrings start aching...caffeinated GU helped for last 5 miles.
Warm up - very stiff in hamstrings....after 5 miles started to push limit of where pain begins to increase (not sharp/good pain). Focus on relaxing and good form. Shorter stride and neutral landing feels better. Last two miles felt good.

Still sore in hamstring but after warm up...dull ache only...
