16.45 miles with 7.5 miles then straight into 3 x 2 miles with 1 mile jog between. Goal was to be comfortably hard and not go too slow on the recovery jog. Actual was a little bit harder than comfortably hard but times were fast and I was right where I wanted to be for the jogs. Splits were 11:17, 7:10, 11:10, 7:00 11:03. The first one actually seemed the toughest because my body had to adjust from 6:40 pace to 5:40 pace in an instant. Good workout today and a nice back to back this weekend.

AM: 10 Miles easy/moderate. I was warming up to do a workout but I could tell my body wasn't quite ready so I just kept on with easy running.

PM: 4.4 Miles with some strides

10.4 Miles with 8 x 1k. Plan was to go through 800 in around 2:40 then finish the last 200 in 35. I did these on the road so it didn't quite go as planned but it did go well. Rests were 200 walks which seemed like a lot. Splits were 3:13, 3:12, 3:11, 3:09, 3:11, 3:10, 3:09, 3:08. I think I was running the last 200 in around 35 seconds. I felt good today and not wiped out after this one.

AM: 10 miles easy. Legs felt pretty good considering the workout yesterday.

PM: 4 miles easy + 6 x 10 second hill sprints. When I was doing the hill sprints there was a guy doing the same exact thing as me and he was just blasting up the hill with really good form like a sprinter. It just didn't look like a normal guy to me. He was only about 5 ft 6 but he was built like a fire hydrant. Before my last one I told him good job and that he looked really strong doing the hill sprints. We got to talking and he was Larod Stephens-Howling from the Cardinals (NFL). He was a good return guy and fill in running back when guys were injured. He was a really nice guy and is a free agent right now. I thought it was pretty cool to see an NFL guy out there doing hill sprints.

10 miles with a speed workout this morning. I did 6 x 800 with 800 jogs. Splits were 2:25, 2:26, 2:24, 2:26, 2:25, 2:27. These were pretty hard but they should be. That's a fast pace for me. My speed is improving though so I have no complaints. I will get a nice fill of endurance tomorrow.
