10 General Aerobic (Easy) Miles.

Progressive Run for the first seven miles and then the last three miles done @ 9:22/mile.  The Stonehenge route for 8 circuits at 1:36pm. 

10 Miles done at 9:24/mile in 1:34:01.

4 Week Progress Report

Goals:

Identify what paces you can hold for the various types of runs while staying within the correct Max Heart Rate intensity Ranges.

Do all the scheduled runs, the correct weekly mileage, and the specific types of workouts that are scheduled as well.

I did the 20 scheduled runs and the correct weekly mileage.  There were two Cruise Interval workouts that were replaced by a Tempo Run and one Speed workout that was replaced by a tempo run. 

I believe I stayed true to the spirit of the schedule.

WHAT NEEDS WORK?

I must amend the Tempo Run pace goal and Cruise Interval 3x1600 goal pace.  An increase of ten seconds is in order.  Tempo run pace goal now is 8:19 (versus 7:48-8:09/mile and Cruise Interval pace goal for the 3x1600s is 7:58/mile (versus 7:38-7:48/mile). 

 

Miles Run for the Four weeks:

(10/3, 10/10, 10/17, 10/24 = 35.01 + 37.82 + 40.06 + 33.07 = 145.96 miles

 

Specific Types of Runs:

Tempo Runs, Cruise Intervals for Mile, Speed (10x100s) and Long

 

Tempo Runs: (Goal 7:48-8:09/mile)

Week 1: put together 4.01 @ 8:45/mile (this was the week 1 goal)

Week 4: Tues did mile 3 @ 7:59/mile…not best result.

Week 4: Friday Mile 3 @ 8:24/mile. I did not string together more miles.

 

Cruise Intervals for the Mile (Goal 7:38-7:48 mile)

Week 1:  3x1600 @ 8:00/mile with 3:00 Recovery

Week 2: 3x1600 @ 8:08/mile with 2:00 Recovery (7:50/mile, 7:58/mile, 8:37/mile)

PRE, your blog continues to amaze me. Your analysis and organization is awesome, it makes me feel lazy.

ACorn,

Hi. Thank you. You - lazy...never. You are a superior athlete! And so is Jake K! I learned about Jake K through checking out your blogs. You guys are amazing - the times you run.

Regarding my blogs, I am writing more of late to ensure I stay on track. I can miss runs at times. I want to stay committed. Running regularly (consistently) is becoming more natural now. And it is much more enjoyable as well given the various types of workouts being done.
