re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

Maybe do some strides RS? I do 20 sec on/off on some of my long runs, per Daniels Plan. I find them fun. They are more to work on your form when going fast, could be a way to make that .75 useful on some days.

Back from week long beach vacation today. Got all of my runs in but damn all of the food, lack of good sleep, ALCOHOL caught up with me on my long run/workout this am.

Had this on the plan.

1 WU
2 MP @ 6:55-7:10 (I definitely wouldn’t call this my current MP, HMGP however)
1 Easy @ 7:58-8:47
4 MP (all was OK here until I was a couple miles in, then the wheels fell completely off. HR through the roof, pretty much bonked, last couple miles involved a couple of brief stops, hands on hips, etc.)
1 CD (only did .5)

I only ate a couple of bad meals the whole trip but it’s all the shite in between that caught up with me. That said, I felt guilty every beer/drink I had as I was worried how it would affect my next run. Completely ate up with it, not sure if this is good or bad, haha.

Was surprised to step on the scale and see I only gained 4 pounds. Guess I’ll blow it out with a pizza today and back on the train tomorrow! Choo choo m’fers!!

Good job this weekend RS/Quail. Good to see you back in the fold, hb.
