AM: 10 miles, 4.5 fast doing timed intervals.  3x8:00, with 4:00 recoveries.  Big group for such an early session- about 16 of us.

PM: 10.2 miles, 3 fast.  3x1mile at 5:30-5:40ish pace on the trails.  I worked hard, but the speed just isn't there.  The mileage definitely doesn't help (yet!).  6 of us there, 4 stayed in our group.

PM: 11.3 total miles, 3 fast doing hills at effort with Jeremy, John, and Steve.  Steve moved to Tennessee, so it was nice to see him recently!  Florida was balmy and about a thousand degrees today, so that was a nice change.

AM: run with Elia, Steve, and Brian.  Mile of striders at the end.  Had an absolute blast today!  Definitely a slow pace, but that's okay.  

On a second note, my mileage was a bit unreal this week, but I feel fine.  I suppose the doubles- now that I've done a full cycle of them last year, and have started them again now more recently- are really the way to go at least for marathon training.  The body just feels better than it does with the single run, even though it's more mileage overall.  I know Kipchoge does the 15k followed by a 10k, so I am trying to style it similar to that.  I just would like to work in the Saturday or Sunday progressive run that he does too. I'm a bit apprehensive, as that'll increase the likelihood of injury, but I suppose there's no better time than an era of zero races to just go for it.

I guess we'll see how next week pans out before I get ahead of myself.  
 

SOTD: nah, just playin', Eugene!  :)
