I kinda got away from doing this for a bit. I do keep a really detailed log in an EXCEL spreadsheet with comments, etc. I have always enjoyed, for some strange reason, reading the running logs of others. I will update my previous dates as time permits. My fitness is improving and on July 3rd, I didn't go sub 19:00, but I ran tough in horrid conditions (88F w/70% humidity). I ended up running 19:10, but without any true VO2 Max workouts.
I am still continuing to do these Tinman CV workouts and am increasing the volume. Today was 5x1200m @ 6:26 pace w/2:00 rec. I lengthened the rec. due to it being 90F and sunny.
I "officially" begin my St. Jude Marathon training on July 30th, but along the way, I have set several races that I really want to run fast in. I have my sights set on an 8k and two 1/2 marathons. Usually, June and July are lower mileage months for me, but this year, they were me increasing my mileage to regain fitness. I am happy with my progess thus far. I am also doing more back to back med. distance runs, instead of runnning 10 miles one day and then 4 miles the next. I now catch myself doing 8 miles on Mon., 9 miles on Tue, etc. I am getting stronger.
The baby comes via c-section on August 8th, if not sooner. Marathon training will be fun. I also found out that I am eligible and will be taking a full 30 days off after the birth (Family Med. Leave). I should be able to really increase the mileage then! |
