3@22:22/4@29:42 . . . stepped off the mill to drink more often than I'd like so I ran an extra .25

@8.2 almost the whole way today

2 treadmill miles last night in between a bunch of pull-ups, dips, push-ups, etc... First at 7:42, second at 7:33.

I'm keeping up the running part of my program, and in fact doing a bit more because the pool I swim in is closed for renovations until October...

It's weird when you restart after a few months. The first day is like 'hey, this is isn't as bad as I thought it would be' and for a few days you get quicker again. Then it starts to be hard and tedious. Really hard and really tedious. I guess this is when a lot of people give up again...

@FlyingMonkey ”Run slow now to run fast later” my man. Going out each day running at anything above a ‘conversational pace’ is a recipe for distaster, especially when you’re just getting back into the swing of things. Your body doesn’t give a **** about mileage, only duration and intensity. Provided that your form is relatively decent, you’ll see perpetual gains by running 80% of your weekly mileage easy — building mitochondrial density, capillary beds, neuromuscular adaptations, while reducing stress on your CNS. You might actually look forward to your runs too!

I agree - I think there was a conversation about this earlier in the thread. Not everyone does agree here BTW, but in general I am concentrating on relaxed, easier pace and gradually increasing the distance again. I only ever run really fast when I do hill repeats or intervals and that's practically never these days.

7 miles last night in the mist/fog. I was drenched when I finished but not overly warm.

4 miles last night with the dogs, with a mile at tempo pace and the rest at marathon pace. Temps were in the upper 50s.

True, true. And that was very painful last time... I've got in touch with a mountain-running group - interesting longer routes and not all about speed but the journey - and next time I am back, I think I'm going to do that rather than the track training.

If you’re running hilly trails, that will help speed as well. I was at my fastest when I was trail running 2-3 days per week.
