Notes OBJECTIVE
1.5M warmup @ 9:12 10:27
6 x 75" hill repeats @ 6:17 w/2' active recoveries
1.5M cooldown @ 9:12 10:27

This was a challenge. I hope primarily because I'm "dealing" with something ... allergies maybe ...? I felt really sluggish yesterday. Had an increasing headache throughout the afternoon. Couldn't stop sweating after yesterday's run. Felt quite tired by 6:30 pm. And went to bed at 8:30 pm. Oddly, I woke up at 1 am and couldn't go back to sleep.

This morning the hint of a headache lingers.

Ran to the gym then finished the prescribed warmup. I set treadmill incline to 6.0 for the hill sections and targeted 7:33 pace which effectively yields a 6:17 mile pace. These felt like I was stretching and were slightly outside of today's comfort zone.

Glad to have it done. I'll see how I feel the rest of the day and tomorrow morning.

A little apprehensive going into this run since I hadn't done anything hard since last Tuesday's episode. In an effort to establish some confidence, flipped today's scheduled hill repeats with Thursday's fartlek.

Felt pretty good. Hit the prescribed paces without any trouble and felt pretty good doing it.

5.5M @ 8:18-9:11

First run back since last Tuesday's episode. Felt okay. Reasonably certain my failure to eat breakfast caused the fainting.

Also contributing was trying to run hill repeats on the treadmill at the wrong pace. I wrote Matt Fitzgerald, author of Brain Training for Runners and whose training plan I have used successfully in the past and am using again, to get his thoughts on proper treadmill pacing for hill repeats. He graciously responded and politely pointed out that what I was trying to do is likely not possible (explains why I failed the past 2 attempts; although doesn't explain my single success on the first attempt a few weeks ago). So I now have much better reference points for proper treadmill hill repeat pacing.

Felt good with one BIG exception: left hamstring is back in play. I have no idea why other than mileage build up which I've been very careful with. My best description is the hammy feels "thick".

9M @ 8:18 - 9:11

Hopefully getting back into the saddle after having my training rhythm broken last week.

During the first mile decided to turn this into a cutdown run in an effort to keep it easy. Yes, I know that doesn't sound intuitive. But I figured it force the early miles to be slower than they would be if I just let "feel" dictate. Wanted the first mile to be 9:11 then cut 7 seconds per mile the rest of the way. Glad I approached it this way. Was feeling tired with a little less than 2 miles to go. Attributing that primarily to lack of nutrition this morning and sleep last night.

Beautiful day!

Still feeling sluggish today; even after a very long nap yesterday. More and more convinced that it's the extremely high tree and grass pollen.

Ran to the gym onto the treadmill then back home. Tried keeping heart rate low.

After missing Tuesday's run, I'm already a day behind this week. That's going to be compounded by a day of travel tomorrow. Still figuring out a way to get everything in. Likely entails running on Sunday's scheduled rest day.

failed out after 1.5 repeats


Missed yesterday for no good reason. Ran to the gym. Hit treadmill but had NOTHING for the first repeat. Recovered then went for #2 but failed out half way through. I have no idea what the problem was. I simply couldn't keep up. The pace felt too fast and I had no energy. Tree pollen has been off the chart and I haven't slept well since Sunday's change to daylight savings time. I don't know ... just a couple theories.

Eased way back for a couple more minutes on the treadmill. Went into the exercise room and did cannonball cooldown routine. Headed for home but realized I wasn't even going to get the distance for the day so figured at a minimum, I could log slow, easy miles for the 5.5 mile total.

Felt pretty good this morning. Happy to have the opportunity to stretch it out a little longer. Cypress Creek was running so high from recent rains that my return route was diverted a couple times so I got a little more than planned.

Went out between rain showers this morning. Felt pretty good except for the puddle/hole I stepped into around 1.5M in. I should have known better than to be anywhere near the concrete seams in Walgreens' parking lot. Pressed on but it's stiffening now.

1.70M @ 10:11 (forgot to stop Garmin once finished on treadmill; inadvertently added 2:34 non-running time)

Ran to the gym. Found "my" treadmill and my backup already in use. Moved to a "lesser" 'mill and hammered out hill repeats. Realized I've probably been cheating on previous treadmill repeats this cycle. I would convert the incline pace to flat ground running pace then run my pace targets. I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work now. So today, I ran my prescribed 6:17 pace on the steepest incline (5.0) I could handle (barely!) Cooled down on the 'mill for half then on the road back to the house for half.

Felt good. Feel good now.
