Last Training Week

This was the last week before the 2007 Corporate USCAA track meet in San Diego. I mostly took it easy - one long run, one time-trial 1000, and a lot of easy runs. The 1000, I was shooting for 2:55-3:00, since I am attempting to hit 3:30-3:35 on a 1200. I stayed even through the 400 and the 800, but and thought I picked it up a little through the last 200, but actually struggled a little. I'm confident in a race situation that I will hit 3:30 or faster!

Here's to hoping I do very well in my relays! After the meet, I am planning on visiting Sequoia National Park and climbing Mount Whitney as a reward!

Total - 22

Time Trial - 1000 @ 2:56 (1:10.36, 1:09.87, 36.44)

Last Hard Week

Last week of hard training - I got 3 hard workouts in. I will do one hard workout next week, and then easy runs and stretching getting ready for San Diego.

I ran 600 time trials with two other TI runners on Thursday morning - tough! Then, I tried running an 800 time trial on Saturday - but, it apparently wasn't enough recovery time for me. My time was ok, but the last lap, my legs were dead, and I couldn't go any faster! One more medium hard workout on Tuesday, and then the meet next weekend. Looks like I will be running 1200 and mile instead of 800 at this point.

Total - 31

Interval 1 - 2 x 400 (1:01.54, 1:02.99); 2 x 300 (47.4, 48.49); 2 x 200 (30.76, 30.93) VERY Humid
Interval 2 - 600 Time Trials (1:35.9, 1:38.5)
Interval 3 - 800 Time Trial @ 2:14.22 (1:04.4, 1:09.82)

Vacation Week

Went out of town this week, so it limited my running time - I still had 2 good hard workouts. One more tough week, and then a ramp-down week before San Diego!

Total - 24

Interval 1 - 6 x 600 @ 1:52 - run at altitude (4400 ft), so recovery seemed longer
Interval 2 - 6 x 300 @ :47, 500 jog recovery
