I was going to title this blog post "2 Mile Repeats Suck A$$". Because after we ran 3 x 2 miles (at all out; goal MP for 1/2 mile then progressively faster; and at goal MP for 1 mile then fast) this morning, that was my reaction. They were HARD. I didn't feel good about …

Don’t Out Run Yourself
This week - the past couple weeks actually - I've been constantly questioning MB, my running coach. I've been asking about the point of various workouts. Asking for more miles.

Trying to get my speed back!
Did random intervals this morning, just to try to get my body used to doing semi-speedy stuff again. Finished 5 miles with 400m (6:49 pace), 800m (7:13 pace), 1 mile (7:49), 800m (7:30 pace). It felt ok. Not horrible, but not great. I am SO ready to begin Lansing training so that I can be …

Except I only did 5 of them (1:40, 1:48, 1:45, 1:48, 147) and these paces seemed awkward and HARD! Ugggggg, definitely lost my speed. I'm …
Believe!
Today was interval workout. The training group is doing it tomorrow, but I'm going to DC, so I got it done bright and early today, by myself. Old school (for me) - around the neighborhood on the roads instead of on a track. The workout was supposed to be 3 x (4 x400m). With 1 …
