Logged a 7 mile bike ride and transitioned to a 4 mile run yesterday.
Just a 7 mile run today. Toying with the idea of a half Ironman.

1 mile should be good
Found out the 5K will be very hilly so that may change

Mile 2: 8:03
Mile 3: 8:16
Mile 4: 8:07
I am very proud of these numbers

Nice! In the expressions of flügelhornist Chuck Mangione, feels so good.
I was late getting out for a run after work today so I cut down the distance by a mile and added some hills.
The one race I was still registered for moved to a virtual format. I'm just going to take the deferral for next year's race and hope for the best. Now I'm scouring the internet to find any nearby races still scheduled for the fall or early winter.

I don't think they are that crazy.

6 X 400m Hill Repeats mean that I run hard up a hill for 400 meters and jog slowly back down to recover six times
Fartlek just means speed play. It's a run where you run easy for most of the run but pick up the pace for portions of it. Structured just mean that I am picking up the pace for specific periods of time at regular intervals. An unstructured fartlek would be just running faster every so often during the run.
A progression run is just one where you get faster over the course of the run.
I explained hill sprints a couple of pages back.

This doesn't sound fun.

I do these a good bit.

They are tough but beneficial. I just wrapped up a 5-week progression of hill repeats this week. I'm looking forward to moving on to track intervals.

Northshore Half posted this earlier today, which gives me hope that the October event will still happen.

I have a hill by my house that I call The Beast. Felt good after my run Tuesday and got a little ambitious with my 6 mile run last night. I decided to run The Beast as part of my route. It started about 1 mile in. It's 530ft of elevation change over a mile. That split took me 12 mins and I'm not ashamed to say that I walked twice......
My splits improved after The Beast and my last mile (flattest) was also my fastest. The hill work really smokes the IT Band in my hips. Resting today and doing IT exercises and roller therapy.

A storm messed up my run this morning. It's been a long week at work, and I'm tired. If I don;t run when I get home, I'll have to do 11-mile runs tomorrow and Sunday to get my weekly mileage in. That's looking like it will have to be the case though. I just have it in me to run when I get home today. My legs should feel really good after a day of rest though.

MGCM and LA Marathon registration both re open June 30

Ran 18.25 this morning. 86% humidity can shove it, haha. Pace was 11:10, including breaks. Met a couple of other running groups and chatted during the breaks. Felt really, really good. Getting my hydration and nutrition under control better has really improved how I feel during my long runs. Thought about pushing the last 0.4 miles to get an even 30k, but nah
