Miles 1 and 6, very easy and slow. Strides during miles 2,3,4. Ran mile five as hard as I could (8:52)
Just one more week of real training (actually about 10 days) until I start my 1.5 week of taper for my HIM. I'm going to shoot for 10 hours of training this week. I've been going at it pretty hard for the past 9 or 10 months so in many ways, I'm looking forward to the outseason... and that reminds me, I am going to refer to it in that way after a 2 week real span of r&r starting on 10/10. I am going to completely subscride to the Endurance Nation training philosophies for the next 12 months. I won't join with them... yet. As it is a pretty steep charge.
