AM- hot and humid today. Expecting big storms later, but the heat is tough right now cuz its 20-25 degrees above normal for this time of year. Just 2 weeks ago, i was running in tights and hats and gloves. 7 miles in 51:11, 7:19 avg pace. weights after.

 

PM- an unprecedented and unplanned 2nd run this evening. Since I have been struggling with my long runs as of late i decided to instead do two runs. I had even done weights and eaten a pizza after my first run. Plus, i had just topped off an iced coffee and a pb & j sandwich, and yet the thought hit me to go run again. The results were phenomenal, I absolutely killed it and i felt tremendous..which was surprising given 7 previous miles plus weights earlier. Here were my splits for the 9 mile nightcap:

1- 6:55.8

2- 6:34.4

3- 6:48.3 (20:18, 6:46 avg pace)

4- 6:40.6

5- 6:52.7

6- 6:47.4 (40:39, 6:46 avg pace)

7- 6:58.4

8- 6:41.7

9- 6:15.5

TOTAL-- 1:00:34, 6:44 avg pace

Just an incredible run, felt like i was flowing, and ripped off the 6:15 at the end like it was nothing. 16  miles total on the day.

2- 7:14.6

3- 7:12.7

awesome workout today. it is pouring rain and cold and really windy so i went on the indoor track. Did 4x mile repeats. Warmup mile was 6:51, so GMP, one of the cooldown miles was under 7 also so another GMP. Felt really good and felt pretty smooth during the repeats. Splits (with 3 minute rep breaks):

1- 5:42.9

2- 5:35.6

3- 5:38.5

4- 5:35.6

Overall, it felt great to hit all my miles within a cluster of 7 seconds. Very even paced workout. I didnt feel like I was pushing too hard either, so technically i felt as if i was doing tempo, but since I havent had a workout of this caliber in a while, ill call them VO2 max miles.
