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 2: 4 miles @ 8:15/mile.

Week 3: Friday saw mile 3-5 @ 8:18/mile

Week 3: Sat saw mile 5-8 @ 8:22/mile

Week 3: Sunday saw mile 8-10 @ 8:12/mile.

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)

Week 3: Did Tempo Run instead and all Marathon Pace Miles during Week 3.

Week 4: Did (or attempted) Tempo Run Friday in place of this Cruise Int workout.

 

Speed (Goal 10x100s @ 6:00-6:39/mile with 1:00 Rest)

Week 1: 7 of the 100s @ 6:39/mile or better. 3 slower than 6:39/mile

Week 2: All 10 of the 100s at 6:39/mile or better.  Avg. 6:15/mile for the 10x100s.

Week 3: Did Tempo Run instead and all Marathon Pace Miles during Week 3.

Week 4: Did the 10x100s at 5:57/mile!!!

I decided to run the Tempo Run today versus tomorrow as I had a day off from work due to the storm and schools were closed.

A Tempo Run done @ 9:52am.  8.14 miles done at 8:41/mile in 1:10:44.  I ran 5 Lactate Threshold miles and 3.14 General Aerobic miles.  The Canal Trail was done. 

Ice covered bridges, Branches in the path throughout, Fallen trees across the path.  Obstacles.  YET – I made my tempo goal pace for split 3-6!  And I finished the run with an 8th mile at 8:12/mile for good measure. 

AND A PR: MOST MILES RUN IN MONTH : OCTOBER 2011 = 166.14

PREVIOUS PR: MOST MILES RUN IN MONTH: AUGUST 2010 = 164.82

The Tempo Pace Goal was 8:19/mile.

467C141(A)

467C141(B)

I ran a Recovery Run with Bryan today at the Hamden High School Track.  The Garmin Watch was not charged and cut out at 0.29 miles.  Thus 467C141(A) is the 0.29 miles and 467C141(B) is the manual activity entered to Garmin Connect for the 5.71 miles not registered on the watch. 

We ran for an hour. 

Given that the four previous runs done on Wednesdays with Bryan were 6 milers and change and the paces were 10:10/mile, 9:44/mile, 9:37/mile and 9:58/mile for the four runs, the average pace is 9:53 mile.

Thus six miles done tonight @ 9:53/mile.  Perhaps faster because pancake flat course…but being considered a Recovery run nonetheless.  

The reason the track was chosen was that the Canal Trail is dark – and as mentioned in previous report, littered with fallen trees, branches, etc. due to the storm.

At 6:37pm I ran 6.40 miles @ 8:48/mile in 56:17 done on State Street.

Ran a 2.01 mile warm up @ 9:01/mile

I ran 3x1600s with 2:00 Recovery with the 1600s goal being 7:58/mile. 

I ran the 1600s @ 7:57/mile, 7:51/mile and 7:56/mile. 

The Cool Down was 0.87 miles @ 9:45/mile.

Active was 5.87 miles in 50:17 and Rest was 0.52 miles in 6:00.

Thus changing goal pace for the 3x1600 Cruise Interval Miles from 7:38-7:48/mile to 7:58/mile was a good decision.  I ran the 1600s at better than Goal Pace.
