Observations: Only four running days this week. I took Monday off because I would have otherwise ran for 5-6 consecutive days … not good for me. Nonetheless, the mileage is decent in and of itself, but most importantly, each of the 34 were high quality miles … certainly highlighted by vigorous speed work on Tuesday and Thursday. I’ve throttled back the pace on easy runs and LRs to 9:20+. February is a short month. Therefore, to hit the monthly mileage goal, I’ll need to add a couple miles a week to play catch up.
All that speedwork kind of forces you to slow down the other runs, whether you planned it or not. Nice week!
Totally agree. I’m really enjoying my recovery runs. Since I’m hitting speed hard during the week, it takes pressure off on all the runs. I’ll figure this running thing out one day. Ha!
slow recovery runs definitely are clutch! great running this week
