Slept in, so didn't get to workout in the morning - had to wait until afternoon - took the dogs for a 45 minute walk once we got back from town.

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

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...

Ran/jogged the Stanford Dish Loop from home (10 miles). Got a new HRM, and am learning to love Zone 2 (60%-70%MHR). Set the alarm to buzz when going past 70% MHR, and jogged/walked until HR got back in range (mostly the steep parts of the course). Props to Rich Stiller for emphasizing the gains from "staying in the zone" on long runs. (time: 1:43:00 ave. pace: 12:21 elevation gain: 886 ft.).

Ran and walked three miles today. My knee and ankle is bothering me a bit and I did not want to push it. I did push it yesterday on the downhill but it was only for a half mile. In a couple of weeks I will need to push it like that for five miles. Glad I did it. Booked another race today. The 10 Miler Sept 30 in Eugene. It falls right between two halfs.

Mike and I ran 10k (6.2 miles) this afternoon...this new course has a good half mile downhill on it. It is going to be good training for Fontana since that half marathon drops 2,000 feet in the first six miles before it levels out. Fontana is coming up in less than three weeks. I want to get under 1:30 on that one for sure.

Ever since I started training, it has been a part of my routine so I'm not really sure. I do know that spin burns a ton of calories and I really enjoy it. My trainer believed in it 100% and it did help me lose the weight I needed to lose.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)
