A good week for me, a bad one for the rest of the world
Finally a good week of training! I had three solid workouts this week and it finally feels like I am getting fitter. On negative and slightly less solipsistic note, North Korea, despite condemnations by the rest of the developed world, has apparently tested a nuclear bomb. It remains to be seen exactly what kind of ramnifications this will have. WW3?
Monday, October 2: 5:30pm, 60' easy,
-Ran with Kenya in the endowment lands for 40' and then solo-tripped over to Balaclava for a few slow laps. Felt good. (13km)
Tuesday, October 3: 5:00pm, UBC Workout: 20' warmup, 10' tempo, 4 x 1 mile on grass (wore spikes for three reps), 20' cooldown.
-miles in 5:28, 5:27, 5:16, 5:14 with a little bit of abdominal cramping on the last one. (17km)
Wednesday, October 4: 6:30pm, Fall Run Club, 10' easy, 8 x (1' on, 1' off), 17' easy. (9km)
-Ran a loop on the grass. Stretched out after. Biked 15 km (to and fro the Y).
Thursday, October 5: 11:30am, Roads&RunnersRacing workout, 20' warmup, 8 x (2' on 2' off), 15' cooldown. (14km)
-Ran on the track. 400m splits between 77''-72''. Tough workout...but good.
Friday, October 6: 11:00am, 60' easy in Endowment lands feeling good. (13km)
Saturday, October 7: 8:00am 20' warmup, 6 x 3' hill climb with 3' descent between, 15' cooldown. (16km)
-Felt good, went faster on the last one.
Sunday, October 8: 100' easy with Mike. (24km)
-Tight left calve, cramped up in first 20'. Stopped and stretched and it got better.
total: 107km (again!)
Comments:
I will run the Richmond Flatlands next Sunday and then the BC XC Championships the following Saturday. I was actually hoping that this week's mileage (or kilometreage-haha) would have been around 115-120km, but it turned out to be another week between 100-110km. I don't know where I can find the extra time to build the mileage and then recover from the additional workload. School-wise, the next couple of weeks are going to be hectic so hopefully I can keep up with the training. I'll let you know...how about that!
