UANYCHM2020 Week 10

Alex Vũ Nguyễn -

Sixty eight days until race!

  • W10D1: 1.0mi very easy; drills + 3x strides; 6x(+2) 0.25mi @ 6:48/mile + 1:30 jog rest; 1.0mi very easy
  • W10D2: 5.0mi @ 8:52/mile
  • W10D3: 5.0mi @ 8:52/mile
  • W10D4: 9.0mi @ 8:52/mile

W10D1 Speed day was a bit of a struggle. Since my treadmill was still out of service (technician booked), and it's dark and cold out, I ran at Crunch Amityville. My legs felt a little wobbly and tight, probably because I have not recovered 100% from the hard long run on Sunday. On top of that, the damn 'mill decided to pause itself every time I hit higher pace. No idea why it's acting like that (the first one pause every time I hit 10:00/mile lol), was such a nuisance when you're mid block and having to hit continue + set speed again. I was supposed to do 6x, and I should probably have stopped at 6x, but I opted for 8x instead. The last few were extremely tough.

W10D2 Easy 5 miles on treadmill, nothing special.

W10D3 Easy 5 miles. I stopped at 5K, wasn't feeling it on a Friday evening...

W10D4 (relatively) Easy 10 miles. Same story every Sunday, woke up sluggish not ready for a long run, was eventually able to muster the mental strength to walk out the door. Weather was so pleasant all of a sudden (low 60s to mid 50s). About 10 sec/mile faster than necessary but felt good after run, it's all good.
