Ran 3.11 miles (mile splits are 9:05, 8:30, and 8:08) at AP of 8:33/mile in 26:38.  During June I ran every day except 4 and probably around 160 miles. July I ran 14 days and around 80 miles – about half the number of days and half the mileage of June - but much more intense running though with weekly intervals and weekly tempo runs. 

The June plan was to run faster miles with less overall mileage than usual.


Intervals: 3.64 miles @ 8:18/mile inc. 3 x mile @7:42/mile (1:00 Rest Interval)

Tempo: 3.16 miles @ 8:00/mile

Easy: 10.01 miles @ 9:14/mile

Intervals: 5.75 miles @ 9:04/mile inc. 6 x ½ mile @ 7:24/mile (2:00 Rest Interval)

Tempo: 5.69 miles @ 8:48/mile inc. 1.55 miles @ 7:48/mile

Easy: 6.01 miles @ 9:02/mile

Intervals: 4.48 miles @ 8:44/mile inc. 3 x mile @ 7:47/mile (1:00 Rest Interval)

Tempo: 4.13 @ 8:37 mile inc 2 miles @ 7:50/mile

Easy: 11.5 @ 9:39/mile

Easy: 6.05 miles @  9:31/mile

Marathon Pace: 6.50 miles @ 8:32/mile (MP - 3 seconds)

Marathon Pace: 6.50 miles @ 8:41/mile (MP + 6 seconds)

Marathon Pace 4.01 miles @ 8:36/mile (MP + 1 second)

NOW: August.  Going to stick with the intense running.  But will step up the number of running days and mileage.  Thinking 5-6 days weekly.  Will add a harder workout aimed at running specific Marathon Race pace miles such as a ten miler at 8:35/mile pace.  Will do that outright or include it across the last ten miles of a Long run (to simulate running on tired legs as in the marathon). 

I’ll get a schedule up for August soon.
