Mile repeats in 5:30 average
16 mile long in 6:50 average
7 runs
2 lift sessions
After coming out of last week feeling a little tired, I opted to make this week a medium down week so that my legs could recover a bit from the past three solid weeks of training. This week, I had 2 runs of 6 miles or less, which seems to be exactly what I needed to get some spring back into my step. I felt much more energized in two solid workouts with Laurie as we continue to get into PR shape for the USA half champs. There's just 7 more weeks until the big June race, and I'm excited to increase my mileage a bit to get that strength and endurance up.
Next week, I'm hoping to take a nice down week, featuring a day off and a 10k race in Raleigh. After that, it's basically smooth sailing to the half as I only have one more race - the China Grove 5k. While I wish that I had been able to find a fast 5k course in early April to achieve a road PR, a 5k just two weeks before the half will have to suffice. I trust that I'll still have enough speed within me to break the 17:00 mark for the first time since college.
