Tuesday I got a bit of a break from my training I didn't have quite as much distance to do. I ran 13.2k by running a 2k warm up at the dome followed by 3x 3k tempo that I was able to maintain at a 4:40 pace and then another 2k for my cool down. It felt pretty good this night and I always enjoy the coffee we have afterwards even though I do get home late.
Wednesday I had a much harder night, somehow I was going to run 19k at a moderate pace (which I learned is in-between tempo and race pace). I ended up running about 4k with the kids in the stroller before heading to the RR to run the other 15k. I am so thankful that the days are getting longer and even though I don't start running until 6pm it is still somewhat light out. I ended the night with 19.1k at a 4:50 pace. I felt good during the run and afterwards but I am starting to feel a bit more tired from running 6 days a week and not spending as much time with my bed.
Thursday = Speedday. It was finally a nice and clear day to do my speed workout. I started as usual running 2.7k as my warm up then began my 4x 1600m repeats at a 4:10 pace with 2 min rests in-between each then 4x 800m at a 4:05 pace followed by a 1.8k cool down and some yummy treats for a total of 14.36k
Friday I didn't really feel up to running so I took the night off.
Saturday I ran a 7.5k route around Richmond before heading out for the day, it was such a nice day for a run and I'm so glad to see the sun shining again. Spring must certainly be on it's way!
My total for the week is 83.43k
