Weekly Training Summary 2/7-2/13

Monday 2/7:
6.53 miles in 56:24. 8:37/mile average. Great recovery run. I was able to keep my HR down (avg HR 138) even on the uphills, which was kind of the goal.

Tuesday 2/8:
AM: about 7 miles track workout. My splits are slower than I'd like; this is probably because I had not recovered completely from Sunday's long run. Either way, it was not a bad workout.
PM: 10.05 miles in 1:20:42. 8:01/mile average. Great run with the WUS crew. I'm psyched about running with everyone!

Wednesday 2/9:
I only made it less than a mile before something happened to my hip. I felt a very sharp pain and decided that it would be wise to turn around. I was bummed, but probably needed the break after running 17 miles on 2/8.

Thursday 2/10:
AM: Fartleks! About 6 miles on the track. Again, I wasn't running as fast as I'd like - my fast splits were around 6:00/mile and I know that I'm capable of sticking around 5:30 - 5:45 for longer than 30 minutes.
PM: 7 miles in 52:09. 7:27/mile average. I felt great for whatever reason. Not complaining.

Friday 2/11: 8.74 miles in 1:09:51. 7:59/mile average. Felt great, kept it nice and easy.

Saturday 2/12: 7.01 miles in 56:22. 8:02/mile average. Didn't feel so hot, my HR was much higher than it should be for a given pace. I was kind of concerned about how the long run would go...

Sunday 2/13: 21.53 miles in 2:52:56. 8:02/mile average. I felt alright, but my HR was still about 5-10bpm higher than normal for a given pace. Tomorrow will be super easy; I probably won't go much further than 4-5 miles.

Totals:

71.95 miles (a couple miles from the track are unaccounted for. Actual was more like 75 miles)

in 9:38:41

at an 8:00/mile average pace

with 3,781ft of elevation gain and an average HR of 145bpm.
