Great long run. Felt really good, one of the better long runs I’ve ever had. Just one of those days you feel like you can keep going. Avg 6:17 per mile / 3:54 per kilometre.
WEEK TOTAL = 90.6 miles

Nice recovery run through great new trail I came across just south of Puslinch. A bit hilly, but nice to change it up.

Great first full track workout of the season. Happy with this one. Perhaps didn’t feel as good as it has before, but I like where I’m at. Managed to run 2:41 on the end, closing the last 200m in 29 when I was already hurting. 2:48.xx avg. Good day.

Quite hot out. Pretty good workout, and thought I was running slower than what I was. Got some good quality work in, and looking forward to a track session on Thursday.

Great long run down at the lake. Felt quite good. Felt a little tired to start, but run felt great midway through and towards the end. See run details for mile splits. Dad came with me on his bike which was nice!

7 mile LT (lactate threshold) @ the P
Post Workout Blog:
Solid workout, felt pretty good to start, not great in the middle, and then ran my last mile quite well in 4:54. It was really windy today, which made for a tougher feel than normal, but it was good to get a constant rhythmic tempo in again. Hopefully I can get a couple 8-10 mile ones in throughout the track season, but this was a good one to start off of considering where I’m coming from over the last six weeks

Solid track workout. Felt better than last week’s track sessions which is good. Happy with how it felt considering, and I kept it honest. Felt like I wanted to do more, which I know I could have, but it’s good to listen to coach right now and not get ahead of myself.
