July 24 2026
Rest day yesterday. Today was a 5k time trial to assess my fitness. Did it on the track, 12.5 laps, and finished in 20:36, about a 6:36/mile pace. Started conservatively, as it was sunny and hot today, and progressively got faster each mile. Happy with the effort and result, especially with the weather conditions, my feeling less than my best, and doing the entire run solo. Finished the day with a strength workout, tough but a productive day.

4 easy miles today after yesterday's moderately hard intervals of 6 x 1 minute at race pace to prep for the 15k a week from this Sunday. Today's 'easy' run felt harder than yesterday's short intervals. Actually had to pull myself back a little to not run the intervals too hard. They were only to condition my legs for race pace, and not to go all out. Felt more sluggish today even with the cooler weather. Maybe it was delayed effects from Sunday's long 2 hr run.

A long run this morning, 16 miles around the city. Ran it slow and relaxed, felt in control most of the way. Took a couple minute walk break at midpoint. Luckily the temps were cooler along with a breeze, making the run much easier than it would have been during the past week. Added a strength workout afterwards before tuning into the World Cup final.

A 6 mile recovery run this morning under smokey skies and heavy humidity. Was drenched after the run.
The run was to recover from Friday's 2 x 3000 meters track workout. Not as humid as today but windier. The first 3000 meters was in 12:44, then a 12:26 after a lap rest jog/walk. Very happy with how the workout went. Hadn't done such a long distance intervals run in a long time, was especially surprised and happy with the 2nd 3000m. Feel like I'm getting stronger anaerobically.
Then a strength workout afterwards.
Thursday was a rest day.

6 easy recovery miles around the neighborhood. The legs felt relatively good after yesterday's tough track workout. It might have helped that it wasn't as hot as it has been. The sky was a luminous orange/yellow as if there was a large fire nearby, but it was just the humidity, overcast with thick clouds. The run was other worldly.

After yesterday's rest day, today was track intervals.
The workout was 8 x 400 meters (1 lap) with 1 minute rest between sets, then 4 x 200 meters (1/2 lap) with 1 minute rest. The 400 meter reps ranged between 85 and 90 seconds, and the 200 meters reps ranged between 38 and 40 seconds.
They were tough but also felt in control. Was happy with how it went. 10 minute warm up and 10 minute cool down as well. Then a strength workout afterwards. A good day.

A long run, 12 miles, on another hot sunny day. Not complaining about the sun and the heat, it's been a great summer so far - just makes running more difficult. Even that has a silver lining, as these tough days of running should make it easier in autumn racing. Took a couple of walk breaks to reset in the heat. Felt dehydrated near the end. A good run following yesterday's hard intervals workout.

A rest day yesterday getting ready for today's anticipated tough workout, a 3 x 2 mile intervals on the track. Unfortunately the track wasn't opened when I arrived there this morning. So ended up doing the workout in the park, on a 2 mile loop road. The 2 mile reps were in 12:55, 13:12, 13:30 with a 4 minute rest walk/jog between reps.
Very happy with the workout. The road loop had some hills and the sun, especially in the last 2 mile, was beating down hard. Very tired afterwards during the slow 'cool down' back home. After a brief rest, added on a strength workout. Will sleep well tonight.

A 5 mile run yesterday to recover from Tuesday's track workout. Nice and slow to loosen up the arms and legs.
A longer easy run today of about 10 miles, made tough by the heat and humidity that returned yesterday. The legs were still feeling Tuesday's workout, never really loosened up today in the heat. Added some strength work afterwards to complete the day.

Wasn't sure about a track workout today while still recovering from bruises from the fall during Sunday's run. Went ahead and ended up having a strong workout:
12 x 400 meters with 1 minute rest between reps. The 400's ranged between 86 and 91 seconds
Then 4 x 200 meters with 1 minute rest, the 200's were all in 41 secs.
Definitely worked the anaerobic fitness hard. With a 10 minute warm up and 10 minute cool down, a solid day of running. Added strength work afterwards to complete the full day.

8 pleasant easy miles to the park and back this afternoon. Though still warm, the weather was milder than it has been and without the sun beating down. Would have been a perfect run to top off the great holiday weekend, but ended up tripping over a sidewalk patch and taking a spill. Re-injured the scrapes on the hand and knees that were nearly healed from last month's spill in NYC. Not sure if I'm losing coordination, it's the shoes, or simple bad luck; frustrating. Was able to finish the run ok.

Yesterday was a rest day to get ready for today's track workout. Another hot day had me adjust the planned 2 x 3000 meters to 3 x mile. The 3000 meters (nearly 2 miles) felt overwhelming considering the heat and current anaerobic fitness.
The mile repeats were in 6:45, 6:37, 6:35 with 500 meter walk rest between reps. The miles, though tough, felt more manageable than the 3000m's would have been.
2 mile warm up and 2 mile cool down as well. Some strength work afterwards completed a full day.

1 hour recovery run this afternoon in the sun. It was hot again, we're in the middle of a heatwave. The legs were feeling the effects of yesterday's track workout, and today's run didn't do much to loosen them up. The heat made even a slow 'easy run' like today's moderately hard. Feeling better now that I'm indoors and air conditioned.

Been upping the running intensity lately, and today was the hardest workout in recent memory. Today's temps were near 90, but the temperature on the bright red track easily hit the upper 90's, with no shade.
Went ahead with a set of 1000 meters with a lap walk rest between reps; then a set of 200 meters with a 200m walk rest. Did 4 x 1000m rather than the intended 6 reps, as the heat was almost overwhelming. The 1000's ranged between 4:10 and 4:15.
The 4 x 200 meters were in 42, 41, 39, 38 seconds.
I was spent afterwards, barely had energy for a 'cool down' jog, and instead added a walk of a couple of miles.
Still a little rusty in speed and technique, but getting there. Today was tough but a big step.

Spent the last 2 days cross training, a combination of cycling, walking and strength work after doing an easy run on Saturday. The easy run, though, was anything but easy, as the hot sunny day made any type of activity difficult.
In the process of setting up a training schedule for a fall marathon; it's looking increasingly like the Columbus Marathon in mid October, with a couple of road races leading up to it. Just have to register and finalize it.

Didn't feel well enough for a track workout, so instead went out for an easy slow 13 miler around the city. A good decision, the slow pace throughout felt relaxing, almost therapeutic. The legs felt more energized at the end of the run. A track workout would have been pushing it based on how I was feeling, maybe even towards an injury. Tomorrow will probably be another easy slow run.

After Tuesday's workout, went for a slow 9 mile recovery run to the park yesterday. The run was relaxing, still feeling good about yesterday's track work, the slightly tired legs loosening up. Finished the day with some strength work.
Tired today, took the day off from running and any type of cross training. I definitely felt the increase in intensity this week. Plan on going for a run tomorrow, will play it by ear.
