longest tempo run ever DONE AND DUSTED ✊🏼 I am ready to kick some ass at XC Nationals next weekend ⚡️💥🔥
It was one of those nights at my @wtwoodsonhs #ovaloffice. My @mcmillanrunning plan called for a 15-25 minute #temporun at somewhere between 7:18 and 7:34 pace and I was right at the low end of that range for 18 minutes at around 7:20. I must have looked in control, too, because as I was cooling down a bystander noted to me “you are a strong runner!” Who doesn’t love a random compliment? I’ve really worked hard during this period of no racing thanks to the pandemic, to get fitter and stronger, and it really is starting to show. It gives me even more motivation to #keepgoing, to #keepshowingup. And I will, you can bet on that. #runblr #fitblr #mastersrunner #summerrunning #summertraining #justkeeprunning (at Wilbert Tucker Woodson High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCXXy2Rnbua/?igshid=13w42kuosmzvt
Super stoked. I’ve recently started adding speed workouts to my running routine. 2 weeks ago I ran 5.7 miles at a 6.49 min mile. Last week I ran the same rout at a 6.41 min mile and today I ran it at a 6.38 min mile. I’m pretty sure I’ve peeked and my times won’t get any faster but that’s not going to stop my trying to beat it. #run #running #temporun #speedworkout #fit #runnersofinstagram #caterpylaces #altraredteam #altrasforultras #embracethespace #nothingelsetodobutrun #getoutandbeantisocial (at PLANET EARTH.SPACE) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_hgt8nndpj/?igshid=nonl342kefqy

9/19-(5 miles & strength) I got up this morning & just didn’t feel like doing a long run tbh😂 So I switched things around and did my tempo today! I started with a 1.2 mile warmup & then hit the treadmill! I felt tired & had heavy legs, but I ended up being able to push myself a little for a good pace! I averaged 7:47 pace for three miles or 23:25! So not half bad. I had some slight tingling, so I’m going to ease off speed now. Then I walked a little & headed over to the core & my PT exercises. Doing all my PT exercises took around 30 minutes so that was the majority of my strength work today😂 Then I foam rolled & ran a mile back!
Breakfast was the most cinnamoney oatmeal, a tiny bit of Greek yogurt because I’m almost out, frozen blueberries & another oatmeal cookie :) Then I was off full speed ahead to my classes! I went to one & then came back, studied & ate lunch. Lunch was a Mac & cheese bar, and salad! Then class, another class & a snack! Then I was off to my last class where I taught a dance lesson. After that I went to the library to study for an hour and a half. Then I ate dinner which was chicken, mashed potatoes & salad. Then I took my hour and a half stats test. I am so glad to have it done because I have a lot of work to catch up on. Then I went to county market and hung out with my friends at Newman for a little.
And that was my long long day! It was super hot out today which was gross, but luckily we have one more day of heat and then we will get some relief! I’m getting up early tomorrow for a long run!
Injury update: some slight tingling during the tempo run so I think I’m going to ease off speed for the rest of the week.
Snacks: cereal, chocolate, oatmeal cookie, pretzels, clementine
Today I’m thankful for my mom answering my worries & Allison for going to county market with me
It hurts so good to be building back up to semi-normal training volume after unplanned 8 days off. Loved today’s little injection of tempo pace. It’s getting close to a very Canadian race day! #timetofly #teamwattieink #runwithpower #riplaces #temporun #professionalexerciser (at Culver City, California)
Just a good day for a tempo run. No ACA repeal so slept pretty well. And wearing Xios half marathon shirt in honor of Greek Independence Day.
