A lot of the slow/fast times at the start/end of some of my runs are because I'm running in a hillier area after moving. Since this is a new area I was easing into running down the hills, but have started letting myself open up and run fast. For instance, last night I was at 9:36 pace at 7.13M when I crested a big hill and dropped down to 4:17 pace at 7.29M before leveling out and coasting in.

Week: 45.5M

  2. Note that Week 4 calls for a 5K (if my math is right that would be 10/6). Let me know if that is a problem.

    Also, Week 5, becomes the last setup week for a 1 mile TT during wk6, but if you would rather try to run another 5K on or near(10/20), you could run a 5K specific workout. You might want to decide after your first 5K.

    You will have to tell me how the workouts feel. I think they will feel a bit on the easy side, but they could start to have cumulative effect later on. So, I would try to stay on pace, even if it feels a little slow.

  3. Awesome! I've been enjoying this base building stuff, but I have to admit that the last week or so I've been wanting some direction. This does look aggressive and I'm looking forward to starting it next week. Thank you!

  4. I'll have to look into the 5Ks around here to see what's going on next month. Hopefully there's something that'll work. Thanks again!
