Age is just a number.

Olympic Oval tonight for a 6 mile LT run at 5:12-5:20/mi. last 800m in 2:34 at 164 bpm. Light stretching and cooldown aferwards.

AM-Easy recovery jog at 7:30-8 min/mi pace for 4 miles. HR a little high , however it was expected considering last nights Oval workout less than 12 hrs ago. Legs a little stiff but fine otherwise. THR- 60-70% mhr. 4 miles total.

PM-Decided to split up this mornings workout and run this evening also for better recovery. It always works better for me this way after doing a quality workout from the previous evening. 6 miles total in 41:36. 70-75% mhr. I ran a bit faster than I ought to have for a recovery day, but I chose not to run slower because I get really uncomfortable biomechanically running slower than 7min pace. I like to run to release stress and not just to train for the sake of training I suppose. To each his own right? 

Time for only one quick workout today. Went for a run in the shoebox track tonight and it went pretty well with pacing in the mid 5:20s to low 5:30 range. 10 miles total tonight.

10 miles easy at 6-6:30ish pace tonight. Not much to say.

Easy 5 mile run at 7-7:30 pace to be fresh for tomorrows VO2 workout.

AM-VO2 workout with a long 2 mile rep in the middle in 9:56. 2 miles of slower AT work around the 5:20/mi range and 2x1200m at the beginning in the 70-73 sec range in order to get the mind and body ready for the longer rep. 2 lap rest in between sets. Met up with Tony and a guy from Judge named Luke, I chatted with both for a while about various things. Luke looks like a stallion out there the way he runs. Dark Horse out.

PM- 4 miles easy jogging. 60-65% mhr on the treadmill.
