Found out that the pt test is on Sunday so had to modify my weekend workout plan did 8 miles today started with 3 sub 7:00 miles then slowed down to a confortable 7:50 pace. Knocked time off each mile with the 8th mile being under 7. work out felt great and still had alot left but it was getting to late. Sleep is just as important as the run!

Manage to get two of my miles under 6 today almost ready to move up to six repeats.
Splits 5:54, 5:58, 6:24, 6:14
My goal is to get all 4 running segments under 6:00 then move up to Six intervals and start working on getting all six under 6 then start replacing my walk with a jog.
+reply by Bob Anderson Thursday, 5/17, 2012 2:45 pm
This is one of the best workouts I have ever done. One thing I do is run the next one faster than what I did. Six is a good number. If you do six under six minutes...you will be able to run a 1:32 half marathon or better. Good job!!!
+reply by Steven Richardson Thursday, 5/17, 2012 3:17 pm
It was just a year ago that one 6:45 mile would have killed me for the rest of the day. I never even thought of running more then one mile that hard in the same day.
+reply by Richard Stiller Friday, 5/18, 2012 7:28 am
Steven, these workouts are much more effective if you do them all at even pace or start slow and make each one faster. They relate to racing that way. Also six of them accomplishes little or nothing but to best you up. Better to run 3-4 and get better at those. Run them at 5 k pace give or take.
+reply by Steven Richardson Friday, 5/18, 2012 7:44 am
I will give that a shot on my next session start off slower on the first and build up to the end.
+reply by Richard Stiller Friday, 5/18, 2012 8:12 am

Sorry to have jumped in but 6 x 1600 will just wear you out.
+reply by Barry Anderson Friday, 5/18, 2012 8:38 am
Steven, you may even want to add some more variation to these interval type workouts. Personally I think that you could get more benefit from running 6 x 800 at a much faster pace than 6 x mile as far as the true purpose of interval training goes. Step-ups and step-downs are also a good alternative interval workout.
+reply by Bob Anderson Friday, 5/18, 2012 9:10 am
Doing repeat miles have worked for me in the past...but it is a tough workout! That is why I run each one faster. Helps to make it more of a game than drugery...Kim Smith who placed 5th at the NY City marthon do repeat miles...I need to do these again...

Woke up to a rainy day this morning but decided to run anyway. Was only planning on running 11 miles this week but after I started the run felt so good. Never really ran a distance run in the rain but it makes it much easier I found. Ran the intire 13.1 mile just seconds shy of my goal time avraged about a 7:39 pace and it was really easy until the last mile. My breathing was great the intire distance my legs started to get week around mile 12 and the course was full of rolling hills. I have to say I am really glad I didnt let the rain stop my run managed to get the best one in yet. Walked a half mile afterwards to loosen up and cool down.

I made it to the gym just in time for up and coming photo shoots in LA starting Monday, today now. I was hoping to get through it in less time but I was a little slow tonight, took like 15 minutes longer. Oh well, time to finsish dinner than finish with last minute packing.

I went to the gym for an hour doing the treadmill 1.5 miles and weight training, and then the walk with L.B.

When you can...try a few miles out on the road too! It is a whole different world than in the gym!

Had a nice Mother's Day brunch, and then when I got home did my 3 mile run. It felt great! I felt very energized.

Jan, I am so proud of you. You have only been running a few months and it sounds like you are really enjoying it...

Ran about 55 minutes. Sandwiched in there was the following: 2 x 100 17-18, 1 x 600 2:15, 1 x 200. 37, 2 x 100 17-16. The 600 was strange. A friend was reading my 400 split and I thought I heard him call out 95 ( I wanted 90 ) and I stopped and started to walk. My intent was to abort the run. Then I heard him call 90 and realized the error. At about 92-93 I started running again and ended up with a 2:15 thanks to a 37-38 second last 200. Probably would have been 2:10-11 without the hesitation halt just before the 400. Just plain dumb on my part.

Rich...you know never to abort the run!!! Good workout. These types of workouts are going to help you reach your 800m goal. And it will help you run a good 5k once you get in more quality longer runs...I am ready when you are! Glad I ran SF even through I was not pleased with my time...

Thanks. You are right. It was a bonehead mistake but at least I started up again and finished. But it cost me 4-5 seconds.

Every Mothers Day since I started running (3 years) I have run by my mom's headstone. Really tough since I ran 28 miles this weekend but it wasn't a question.

50ish mi @ 4:15 or so (11:15 A.M. to 3:30 P.M.) Second half of "California's Toughest Century" AKA Daniel's Unofficial Tour of the Unknown Coast.
I am now happy to put my bike away in the garage for a few weeks.

11.28 miles on levees this morning under almost perfect conditions. Some cloud cover, light wind, low 60 degrees. So I figured I should take advantage of this by giving a solid effort. 1:28:02/ 7:49 pace. Started out at 9:00 flat and finished with 6:29 mile pace for last .28 .Felt better today than yesterday.

We have our good days and our fair days. Today was a good day for you!!!! And you do love your levees...

5.7 miles total running. 2 mile warmup with strides, 5k @ 20:46/6:41 pace, .5 mile cooldown. Not a particularly memorable race today as for some reason I was unable to take advantage of the mostly downhill out portion of the race. Held my own well enough coming back uphill but by then everyone was to far away to catch. Disappointing to say the least. I did manage to beat Arturo who seemed to have a harder time of it than I did. 3 guys in my age group that I beat at Zippy's beat me today and 72 year old Hans Schmidt managed to get by me at the turnaround. He was very happy to beat me for some reason (the guy's 7 years older than me!!).The only good thing that came out of today's event was the age graded is 80.02% to keep my streak alive. Cutting it alittle to close for comfort though. I need to run races on Sundays as being on my feet until 7 o'clock last night at work doesn't seem to work well in terms of turnaround time.

Bill, I figured about 20 - 30 seconds slower than Zippys.
Knowing how hard you race, my guess is that the hill coming back is just too tough. Getting out fast at our age is tough too. Good run though regardless. The hill makes this a random result course.

Good job...I am glad I did not run this one. Hans really ran well...

Thanks Guys. Nothing wrong with my fitness just one of those days.

Bill, of course Hans was glad to beat you. You are an iconic runner. Now he can brag about until you beat him the next time around. ;-)
+reply by Bob Anderson Sunday, 5/13, 2012 4:22 pm
At least you got over 80%...I feel short by just a bit...I wonder on hind sight which race was faster? You had hills for hall the race...I had wind for half the race? In any case, good job!!!

The whole family is here for breakfast with Mom this morning. It is a nice day after 3 days of clouds and rain. I shot hoops with my brothers for about 2 hours. Leaving for Six Flags soon.

like the past few weeks didn't get much sleep last night thinking about the race today. Woke up at 2am and tossed and turned till my alarm went off at 5:45. Got up had a bowl of fruit and took off.
About a hour before the race I decided to run the most of the course. Ended up running 3.15 miles but found out later where the actual starting line was. The course itself was about 3.2 miles long (seems you can never get a accuratly messured course) I decided to just give it every thing from start to finish. Ended with some decent splits till the third mile. 5:58/6:24/6:46 . There where two good hills about half way through the 2nd mile that really slowed me down.
My GPS time on the intire 5k was 19:45 but the official time for the intire course was 20:01 I belive. I am pretty happy with my time and my GPS is pretty consistant it may be a few feet off sometimes but when its .1 mile off I know the course is longer so Im sure I managed to keep the 5k under 20 :)
