Total Distance
10.15

10 miles with small VO2 max workout: Warmed up usual 2.85 miles with drills and strides then did 6 x 1/2 mile with 2 min jogs. Splits were 2:30, 2:29, 2:30, 2:29, 2:31, 2:31. I actually had 10 on the schedule but I was already grinding so I called it at six. I think cutting it was much smarter than struggling for four more reps. 10 would have bee a big workout anyway so it's probably a blessing that I was flat today. Cooled down 3 miles. Last fast stuff for a while.

Good move - you probably don't need that much faster volume at this point.

That was me but Andrea probably agrees :-)

I'm not very good at calling a workout but it seemed like a no brainer today. Had 6 x 1/2 mile been on the schedule I would have thought that seemed like the right amount of volume.

Smart move. You are definitely ready and fit for Boston!

Love the Andrea forgery, Jake :)
