weeks of 26 Nov and 4 Dec

 Bleh.


Week of 20 Nov.

  • easy 5.5 @10:16/134
  • no run
  • 8.25 usual 6x800 EIM route.  @9:43/141
  • easy 5.5 @9:55/135
  • easy 5 @ 9:57/135
  • 10.2 burke lake.  lap one 45:03 (9:51/135).  lap two MP 41:39 (9:07/151) picking up at end.  1 mile jog. This really wiped me out
  • recover 5.5.  10:53/130
Total 40.0

Week of 4 Dec
  • easy 5.5.  10:32/132
  • off
  • 8.25 usual 6x800 EIM.  10:07/142.  way slower and higher HR than last week
  • recovery 4.8.  10:44/130.
  • off.  (doctor, didn't want to screw up blood work)
  • 9.3.  4x spillway to trail head hill.  10:42/140.  When I did this a month ago it was 10:25/139.  and I ran 9.4 the next day.
  • easy nbhrd 5.  10:44/131.
Total. 32.8

Really fallen off the wagon.  Weight was 185 yesterday and 183.6 so gain a couple of pounds (was in the 181 to 182 range).

The faster easier paces the week of 20 Nov were too fast I guess and just 5 miles at MP took way more out of me than the EIM intervals.

Need to work myself back to where I was.  You are where you are.  Planning to alternate *recovery* 5 with EIM sessions.  Get back to my typical 5.5@10:30/132 recovery runs or even slower.  Should probably slow the EIM intervals, too.
