Solo OC

69 w/ 5-10 NNW; rain moved in during tempo; PW 160

2 mi WU

Run form drills and striders

2 x 2.5 mi Tempo with 1/2 mi recovery

15:36 and 15:31

Tough day at work and wore out legs from mileage bump led to this being a difficult run; had to gut it out & keep looking at my pace to avoid slowing down. I need to taper for Boulder or will be tough to hit my goal.

Legs still very tight and calves seem to be "right there" for cramping; got hit watching TV last night and had to wear compression socks all day at work.

Solo OC; 88-85 w/18-33 mph S; full sun; 40% humidity; 57 dewpoint; PW 161

DS Trainers

2 mi WU; run form drills; striders

6 x 1K repeats around OC pond; purposely tried to stay away from 5K pace until last one

3:48; 3:45; 3:44; 3:41; 3:41: 3:33

Wind almost stopped my progress when gusting; jacked heart rate

Please with this workout and makes me feel in much better shape than last few years since didn't really huff & puff on the repeats; felt smooth

Problem: calves could be felt "pulsating" on repeats like about to cramp (going to stay in Trainers for repeats; going to get back after items been neglecting)

Post run: lifted legs and arms

Hip work

Solo at OC; 90 with 12-20 mph S; full sun; PW158 AW159

Included run form drills; 16 x straights w/jog curves; 200m36 90%

Legs got a little life on faster stuff but bottom line is need to taper more over next 3 days

Tried Adios Boost today and shelved them after 400 meter due to irritation of achilles bursa; immediately going back to DS Trainers and no problem

Been eating out for lunch Wed and Thurs due to Finals week and teacher collaboration.

Solo OC; 80 with little wind; very humid and rain on the way; PW1608

All Easy-Rec Pace just to burn some calories from eating out 3-days in a row and 3 more days to go in Boulder

Legs could be a little more fresh feeling but also getting old running in the heat & wind and/or humidity.  I feel keeping runs to under 4 mi next couple of days and getting in race atmosphere will do the trick; fingers crossed.

PR Effort! 3rd in AG (they give single-age awards) and in top 1% overall. For all Masters, I was in a small group not living at altitude to break 40. Great Race and Fun Time!
