The first week of training has started off nice and nailed all of my workouts at a slightly fast pace than I had projected. My long run on Saturday was a mix of weather, high 30s, some light rain and if didn't know any better I would have had said snow as well, and a beautiful sunrise. I was overdressed as the forecast was low 30s. Today’s (Sunday) run was absolutely miserable, a stark contrast to yesterday, low 60s, high winds (20+) and rain. The rain was falling sideways with the strong winds. Even though I was running with a head lamp at one point the rain was so strong I couldn’t see the road in front of me.
The speed workout on Wednesday I missed the 3rd and 4th split as I only had my watch set for two repeats instead of 4. The goal was to run 4 x 1/2 mile intervals at sub-4 minutes (8:00 pace). Intervals were 3:48, 3:56, 4:07, & 4:09. However, I didn’t program the watch correctly to do 4 intervals. So, during the last 2 was all part of my cool-down portion of the workout so the actual times is a close guestimation.
Overall a successful training week with some great workouts with a little over 28 miles of running. Now onto next weeks plan.
