Week of January 13th - 19th, 2014

Monday:
Am: 1mi with circuits at Fit Club with kids.
Pm:  6mi/48min on the trails of Saxton's River with Ferenc and the girls.  Wow.  This was a miserable run.  My body was exhausted and those damn hills with the snow, ice, and mud were the worst thing for me.  I needed either a day off or a flat easy run.  I kind of ruined the run for Ferenc as I stopped to walk on hills and plodded the rest of the time.  Lesson learned, don't run in Saxton's River if I need an easy day!

Tuesday:
Am:  2mi/14min at Fit Club.  Very easy run.
Pm:  Had to ref 2 basketball games.  Legs feel great after reffing.

Wednesday:
9mi*/61min - track workout at Monadnock.
8 x 400m with 200rest
Result:  (72, 71, 70, 69, 69, 70, 69, 64) - with Andy, Boj, and James

This was a No-Man's-Land workout.  Too fast for I pace (I also would run longer than 400's for I paced stuff) , too slow with not enough rest for R pace.  I got sucked into running a workout I didn't really want to do.  It went well, but what system was I stressing?  Oh well, I'll stick to Daniel's for now on.  Nice warm weather.

Thursday:
0mi.  Played some intense floor hockey at school today.  I should have run, but I wasn't feeling motivated.  Tomorrow lift and run.

Friday:
8mi*/53min in Pisgah with Griffin + 3 x 8sec hill sprints.  I felt great today.  Days off work!  I thought I was racing at Smith College this weekend so I only did 3 hill sprints instead of 6.  Turns out the meet was last weekend!  Oops!  Well, at least I don't have to make the decision to do the meet or watch the Patriots play.  Patriots it is!

Saturday:
7mi*/47min - Track workout at Monadnock w/Ferenc
200-200-400-300-200-200 @ F pace with plenty of jogging/walking recovery
Result:  (30, 29, 58, 42, 29, 28)
It was fun to run fast!  The workout went well.  I wore my spikes which was a good idea due to the slick frozen track and the heavy snowfall that started coming down for the last few repeats.  Legs are good and tired now. 

Sunday:
17mi/2:05 in Pisgah with Ferenc, Lena and Ellie.  Gorgeous day out there with the sun shining and 3 inches of fresh fluffy snow.

Total for the week:
50 miles
This was an ok week.  I got a good long run in, 2 speed workouts, and some hill sprints.  I didn't lift at all or do yoga this week.  I need to make sure I do those next week.  I'm racing at USATF Master's New England's next Sunday.

  1. Well, for a bad workout, you certainly looked strong. I'm sure you got some benefit from it.

  2. Thanks, James. You too. I know I got some benefit, I just probably didn't get the maximum benefit. One of my goals this year was to stick to Daniel's Formula for workouts. Next week!
