Train insane or remain the same

AM: 2 Hospital Loops with Jamison. On the second one we did a couple laps around the pond.

PM: Did the full Upper run for the first time! Pretty excited. Ran it with Carson. Strides after. 

4 sets of 3x600 with an additional 600 at the end @ Beus

Warm up, drills, strides, workout. Paces for each set of three 600's got ever so faster. If I remember right, first set was 1:51, then 1:49.5, then 1:48, and 1:47. It took us a few of them to find the right pacing but we got it down for the most part. They were faster than the other stuff we've been doing at Beus but it didn't feel that much harder. The last one he had us run fast but a controlled fast at 1:38-1:40. Good workout. On Thursday its supposed to be cooler so we are gonna do our workout on the grass! I like the grass. 

Cooldown. Lifting.  

Recovery 60 on Pipe. Strides. 

3x2k, 1xmile 

Warm up over to the soccer field. Drills, strides. Workout was 3x2k. First one was at 6:27 but adjusted a lil slower after that. We then hit 6:32's. Pacing wasn't very smooth on the two but third was a lot better. Then 1 mile and I hit 5:08 and it was really smooth. Started dry heaving the last 200 of the third 2k but finished and then the mile was fine. 

Some barefoot on the grass and then finished up. Lifting.  

Soooooo today I took my very first college exam!!! It was great but the one down side is that it took a really long time. A long enough time that I couldn't run home and get lunch so I had to buy lunch on campus and eat 15 minutes before running. I got to the locker room and realized that since I didn't go home I didn't get my running clothes either lol smh. Carson stepped up big time and supplied me with shorts, socks, and shoes haha.

We had a distance run that I took pretty easy. We went on Pipe and finished on Mt. Ogden and Gibbs, that was a tough last mile or two. Strides. 

Ran from Coach P's house. It was my first 90 since being back and it was also the most difficult trails that I've done since being back which made for a tough run but we made it out alive haha. Im really pleased with it and with this whole week. It was a hard week but a great week for building the base that I need for the months to come.
