Plus speedwork is just plain fun
I used to would have not agreed with that but I’ve gotten to where I like it. And it’s a good evening catchup if I missed a normal run. I have a park with a track around behind my house that is exactly .24 so it’s perfect
Last week I had some free time and decided to do a 5k progression (200m walk between miles)
Last mile was 6:45 pace and I think I could have done the next mile under 6:30. It’s good to break up the monotony of tempo runs.

Holy shite, no wonder I'd been procrastinating. That was les miserables.
Actually first 7 were enjoyable despite heat and humidity, but then I hit a wall. I usually hit it at around mile 12. I don't know if it's general fatigue from travel and poor sleep, or maybe not being super well fat adapted right now (should be decently though), or just because it's mid-July in Atlanta. But that wasn't great.
9.72 miles
1:34:00
9:41 min/mi
Avg HR 166 (yikes)
620ft gain
Hot as balls
Dew point 73
Fuel:
Giant ribeye for dinner last night
Then 20-hr fast (just water, coffee and 0-calorie stevia-sweetened homemade electrolyte drink)
Shortly before run an avocado w olive oil and salt, Milkadamia, and an MCT shot.
Water and electrolytes on run.
I will test ketones tomorrow and see where I am. 3 weeks on the road may have screwed me up some. But I definitely didn't carb out much.

Can you guys give a sample of one of these speed workouts? And how often should I incorporate these?
From a career weightlifter who's just getting into running with a goal of competing in a Half Marathon late this year or early next. Always keep a clean diet and stay lean (abs visible). Trying to focus on running now, with a few weight training/core days mixed in per week.
Brutally honest recent training stats (outside in the La. heat nonetheless) 27:00 5K (166 avg BPM/183 max), 49:00 5 miles (162/177), I trodded through 9.30 miles (166/178) in 1:40 last week at the LSU Lakes. I've been trying to run at least 20 miles per week, and am looking for any training tips I can get. Gonna start the Hal Higdon Half program in a couple weeks, with a goal of the Jazz Half in NOLA on 10/27.
Also: Is there any worthwhile work that can be done on a treadmill indoors? Generally not a fan of treadmill running at all. I work shift work so when I'm on nights, I sleep until around 11:00, then have to be back out the door for around 2:30. This leaves my only real training window between noon-2:00 or something like that. Not the best time to try and get anything done outside with the heat/dew point, although I've been doing what I can lately.
