Monday: 8 miles / 58 minutes easy with Nate Jenkins on Andover trails. Pretty sore but felt good to move.
Tuesday: 11 miles / 83 minutes easy solo on Andover and N. Andover trails. Still sore, kept it nice and light but felt great, actually. 3 sets of crunches, med ball, pull ups, push ups.
Wednesday: 6.5 easy with Brandon Newbould in Exeter, followed by 10 sets of diagonals (16 minutes, 2.5m?) and 2.5 cool down for 11.5 total. Feeling speedy for the first time in a while! Good light workout. Upper body sore.
Thursday: 12 / 95 minutes in the storm with Matt Germain. Headed out roads to the entry to Holt and Boston Hill and did ~4 miles on the snow-covered trails, then returned home roads. Effort was probably closer to 13 miles.
Friday: 20 miles / 2:18 on wednesday hill and Bay roads with B Newbould and T Mallard. The roads were an absolute mess for the majority of the run but we had a good time sharing stories and laughing at the ridiculously under-maintained roads. Best feeling 20 miler I've ever run, effort-wise.
Saturday: 5 easy from BU indoor track with my brother, Alex. He had just run 8:10 in the 3k at IC4As for 4th place, so we were both jacked up and clicking off miles along the Charles. Returned to the track since Alex wasn't sure if he was running the 5k tomorrow and didn't want too much volume beforehand.
Sunday: 10 slow but difficult around 10pm from the apartment. Long weekend with work, parents in town and lots of gatherings. Glad I got the run in. Meanwhile Alex ran a blazing 14:07 on the track for 2nd today, demonstrating what years of hard work does for one's strength. Not surprised by the performance but absolutely proud of this guy!
Total: 77.5
Alright week coming off an alright race. No workouts, but three pretty solid runs and reintroducing core work which is really key to my efficiency at faster paces. Can't forget that. Pumped for NB in a couple weeks! Next week must be better, in both volume and quality runs. Threshold work and a track workout are a must.
