Easy week easy week, here we go
Monday -- 6 miles at 7:35 average pace.
Tuesday -- 12.2 miles total. This workout was Yasso 800's, a super popular marathon-prediction workout. The idea is to do 800m repeats at a pace equal in minutes + seconds. to your marathon goal time in hours + minutes. So if I want to run a 3-hour marathon, I should do these in 3 minutes with 3 minutes rest. I did 10 of them at probably 3:00 average, they ranged from 2:55 to 3:05. Felt surprisingly pretty good, it was very possible. That's wacky, training is wacky, the human body is wacky.
Wednesday -- 6.1 miles at 7:59 average pace.
Thursday -- 12 miles at 7:26 average pace. Most of the run was at 7:30-ish, 10x20 second sprints at the end. For some reason these sprints were the hardest thing I've done in a while.
Friday -- 5 miles at 7:43 average pace. Stuck in my dumb neighborhood due to rain.
Saturday -- 5 miles at 7:22 average pace. The roads were flooded both directions from my house so I ran back and forth between the two floods. Saw a loooot of idiot drivers.
Sunday -- 15 miles total. 10 of this was a "marathon pace" time trial which I ran at 6:43 average. This is about 10 seconds per mile faster than 3:00 pace, and it's a good thing because I did NOT feel like I could have kept it up for 16 more miles.
Total -- 61.2 miles at 7:34 average pace.
