Overall last week was good. My workouts were hard because they were a little longer but I felt great after doing them. I did both at tracks. The 1K repeats were at a regular asphalt track in flats. The 400m repeats were on a proper track with spikes.

Thursday I struggled to do 2M because I was really tired. Saturday I did an easy 3M because I was restless. Sunday I was restless so I did my AM run then went and did the PM workout 2 hours later at noon. My Achilles are a little sore up through my Soleus. Not bad, but I can tell I worked hard yesterday.

  1. Impressive week. I would try your best to get in the bands walks, calf drops, sit ups, etc. The speed and length of your workouts is increasing, and its going to be important to exercise your supporting muscles and tendons.

    I'm very encouraged by those interval workouts. I'm still thinking you are on the edge of a pretty big break through. You might want to look for some 5Ks to run (at least one), because I think you would enjoy the results (even though the training is more mile oriented). Let me know if you want to work one in.

  2. Actually, I'm going to enter a 2 mile road race that's on the 14th (morning race). I'm also going to enter a 5K to help a friend at work on the 25th (evening race). This time of year there seem to be a lot of 5Ks in this area.

    I was going to ask you what you thought about that and how I should adjust my schedule.
