I'm racing next weekend so this week it will be important to make sure I'm getting proper rest and recovery. The heat and humidity have been pretty unbearable--so I've had to cut both hard sessions thus far this week a bit short. I know I'm in great shape so I'm not worried about getting in hard work so much as making sure I'm fresh for this weekend's race.
Sunday I set out for 16, my longest run since doing 20 with Anthony in September of 2008. After an easy to moderate first five miles I planned for the next nine to be at 40%. I got through seven in 41:08 after some poorly paced sections and decided to jog it home from there--my legs had just about had it. Still not a bad run, and I felt great afterward.
This morning I went to Towers for a very easy and relaxed workout. With the heat and running an unexpected ten miler yesterday, I wanted to keep my legs fresh with some faster running without tiring out my body any further. I did 2 x 1.5 miles @ 40% and that was it. I had planned to do some 400s slightly faster after that but the heat was getting to me so I just cooled down and called it a day. Thursday will be on the track so I'll get in some faster running then--no need to kill it today.
