lol. I only approve if you can drink your beer and not miss your training sessions, hence me doing my runs in the morning. There's always the chance of a happy hour or something later on after work...gotta keep those open for pre-run hydration.
Been drinking before runs now have you?

Well I had 2 the night before my trail race the other weekend
:laugh:. But seriously I hardly drink these days - sometimes 2 on a Saturday night with friends.I do morning workouts but between the gym and running, I "double up" 3 days a week so it doesn't leave a lot of evenings free. The sacrifices I tell ya

lol. Yes I know the feeling. Waking up at 5AM for 6 days in a row during marathon training sucks.
Leaves the beer drinking at night though How many days a week are you doing weights?
5 miles with the girl at the asscrack of dawn + 7 miles w/ 4 barefoot this evening. my legs truly and wholly despise me right now, although they did enjoy the chance to go free on the soccer fields today. 6140

Haha, yep, it's made a morning person out of me.
I'm in the gym for core strength (weights and ball work) 3 times per week (Mon/Wed/Fri). I may have to cut back to 2 sessions with more sets per session once my mileage gets higher; I'll see how I feel in a few weeks.

4x800 m intervals on the track tonight.
Holy balls that was tough. I was trying to go 5k race pace (72-73 sec laps). I started off around 79-80 seconds per lap, and even on the last one, I couldn't clock any faster than 75 seconds.
Apparently I'm all aerobic these days.
5 miles including warmup and cooldown.

good lord dude, you're a beast! That's freaking mile pace for me! just remember, good things come slow in distance running.
Right now I'm waiting for the thermometer to drop below 80 so I can go run some hills!!!

I couldn't wait for the sun to go down to run, I've got to go back in to work tonight. So, I did a short 8 miler in the hot sun on the hilly roads of my area.Originally posted by: SWScorch

Haha, thanks. Well, the Hal Higdon program I'm following recommended either 5k race pace or "Yasso 800s" (basically 2:40 = 2:40 marathon, 3:00 = 3:00 marathon, etc.). I didn't hit the race pace at all, but I was well within the Yasso 800 pace (2:32-2:39). So I guess I'm doing OK
.It just doesn't seem too long ago that I could effortlessly string together 68-70 sec quarters in workouts. But then, I was training for much shorter distances at that time (3000/5000m). So yea, I'm adjusting to track work again, but I'm hoping that the longer intervals plus the long runs will yield big improvements.
Go attack those hills man! That's what makes you tough!
I have a confession to make. I didn't attack any hills today. I am seriously front-loading my week as my girlfriend and I are going camping Friday-Tuesday and I know I won't be able to get any decent mileage in then. So my legs are whining (the pansies!) and convinced me just do an easy 11-miler instead. I'll see if they're up for hills tomorrow. So that brings us to..... 6180

I know the feeling - I feel pretty guilty for missing a few days; actually for missing more than one day :laugh:, but a little rest is never a bad thing.
Enjoy the camping and you'll be fresh for next week!
4 miles easy for me tonight.

Try doing full body workouts 2x a week. (I do them M/F) I normally do heavy weights w/ barbells on Mondays and lighter weights/dumbbells/higher reps on Fridays just to mix it up. It'd be nice to be able to deadlift/squat the numbers I was two years ago, but trashing my legs like I used to isn't good for the running!

My workout is a full body workout - covering quads, hamstrings, calves, pecs, biceps, triceps, hip flexors, lats, etc. But I don't do isolation exercises - the movements hit multiple muscle groups.
My main debate is between doing 3 sessions per week with 2 sets each, or 2 sessions per week with 3 sets each. In the past, I found that 2 heavy sessions trashed my legs too much so 3 medium sessions worked better. Trying to run fartleks after deadlifting is not a good idea LOL!
Once I get up over 90km/week again, I'll reevaluate - might go Mon/Thurs. (but I'll need Friday to rest for a hard Saturday session and Sunday long run).
