Sunday, March 18

On today's run, after about 5 miles I called it quits. I had various pains, it was hot and I was still somewhat tired. I decided not to risk my health and my body's integrity for stupid mileage goals.

So training was bad this week. Starting with the Monday, when I hurt so much I had to stop, continuing with record breaking temperatures, and then the stupid dehydration...

But let's try to salvage what we can from here. Since I'm racing in two weeks, I'll shift long runs to the beginning of the week. Detailed plans follow:

Week of 03/19 (59 miles).
M: 12 miles at 8:00 or faster.
T: 7.33 miles easy.
W: 15 miles at 8:00 or faster.
T: 7.33 miles easy.
F: 7.33 miles easy.
S: 5 x 1200 meters at 99 sec/lap, with 800 meters recovery (in no more that 4:27/rec). With warmup and cooldown to the track and back it will be about 10 miles.
S: Rest

Week of 03/26 (52 miles):
M: 13 miles at 8:00 or faster.
T: 8 miles easy.
W: 10 miles at 8:00 or faster.
T: 8 miles easy.
F: 5 miles really easy.
S: Papa John's 10 miler
S: Rest.
