Last week's workout were all treadmill runs:
Tuesdays 35 Minute tempo at 4 miles. Goal is to get faster and do more miles in 35 minutes.
So this week shooting to do 4.25 in 35 minutes.
Wednesday 3 miles
Thursday 3 mile for pace - goal was a 7.50 min/mile at 22.5 minutes. Finished in 24.19 at 8.06 min/mile. Still shooting for under 8 min/mile so working on that today.
Week 20 looks like this:
7/20 Monday 3miles - did outdoors - blah run on not the best. Did not tackle the hills well.
7/21 Tuesday
7/22 Wednesday 3 miles
7/23 Thursday
7/24 Friday Rest
7/25 Saturday
7/26 Sunday

Total 42 miles
So a lot of changes above I know yet looks worse than it is. Yesterday I signed up at new gym which ate into a lot of my break time ... I know I said I would do runs in the morning....still working on that. So I only had so much time and could only get in 3 of the 5X800 meter drills in. Tomorrow I plan on doing 10 miles as on Sunday I know I would not want to or be able to do 10 miles as will most likely head back to MD from NYC - so a 35 minute tempo run would be a great post recovery run from the 20 miler.
Got new sneakers coming in the mail as the Brooks were not bad yet they were not awesome. I will be going back to ASICS and trying out the GT 1000 3 for the next training cycle.
The GT 1000 4 though are the ones I will be wearing for Marathon Day. I tried those on at the store and they are incredible. I am taking the 1000 3 now as they cost me 60 bucks and the 1000 4's are 100.00 - hopefully the price will go down by September when I plan on buying!
How long before your race do you purchase new sneakers? What brand are you?...I started out as ASICS girl,then Brooks, dabbled with Saucony I think one year and now ASICS...I am okay with not being loyal, I just need my feet to be happy :)
Here's to BQ'ing in 2015,
