Ran 17 easy miles this morning and ran 3 miles on treadmill at 8 and 7:30 pace in the afternoon. Finished the 3 miles in 22:16 minutes.  Shaved off a few minutes (about 14) and  I am moving towards my goal of running 3 miles in 21 minutes so as to improve my speed for my next marathon.

Ah! :) I am usually rushing (no pun intended) from my run to get ready for work and don't usually have time to write much.

I am goinf to try to squeeze in 3 miles of speed work so I can meet my goal of runing 3 miles in 21 minutes. So far, I have only been able to do in 22:30 minutes. I'll let you know how it goes.

I felt a little tired today. I had a hard time sleeping last night and did not get enough sleep.

That and the long run and speed work yesterday might be the reason for the tired feeling. I tried to listen to my body and ran without pushing too hard.

I thought I measure my speed by running a 5k race today. I came in 12th overall and 3rd in my age group with 23.41 I am little down I did not do better but I'll keep working on my speed. I did some cross training at the gym afterwards to give my legs a break from the high mileage.

Set out for a long run this morning... The weather  is warming up quicker than i expected but I was happy that o was able to finish my run with a quicker pace.  I ran 20.3 in the morning.

I did some  weight training in the afternoon and ran 3.1 at  7.7 to 9.2 pace---running the 3.1 miles in a little bit over 23 minutes.  I wanted to see if I could still get it out of me after the 20.3 run and the hour weight training.

ran 13 miles to the gym to do some weight lifting and strength training. Did some strength training and weight lifting for an hour. Then, did some speed work by running 3.1 miles between in a 7.7 to a 9.4 pace. Ran the 3.1 miles in 22.30 minutes. Afterwards, ran 4 miles back home.

I did not get a lot of sleep last night because i got home too late from traveling and i was a little nervous about my work out today because of that. I am happy that I still had some energy and had a pretty good work out today. I am going to make sleep a priority for the rest of the week (and beyond of course:))

From Sasha Pachev on Mon, May 04, 2009 at 15:24:45 from 64.81.245.109

Some thoughts on your training. The mileage looks good. One concern is how you are handling it. Make sure to eat enough and to sleep enough. If you feel tired, do not be afraid to back off to 8-10 miles a day to recover.

Try to race once every two weeks or so if you can. If you cannot find a race, measure out a course near your house (ideally with a wheel, if you do not have one, you can just plot it with the Course Tool), and run a time trial. Ideally, it would be nice to find somebody to do it with. Either a faster runner that will pace you, or somebody your level plus or minus that will make you extend yourself. The races could be anywhere from 5 K to the half marathon.

I noticed you ran a 5 K in 23:46. That puts you within a shooting range for 3:40 marathon.

Also - I am curious what you can do in an all out 800 meters. Find a track near your house, warm-up, do a few accelerations, and then run 2 laps as fast as you can. Record your 200 meter splits and the finish time. If you've never run track, the 200 meter mark is half way through the lap and you will usually see two lines there, one straight, and one arced that starts at the same place as the first, and then diverges from it.

Ran 6 miles in the morning. Then 5-6 miles in the afternoon with a friend whose pace is faster than mine. we ran at marathon pace for at least 3 of the miles with some hill work.

I shaved 18 minutes off my last marathon.  I was hoping to do much better but the Vermont marathon had substantially more hills than I am used to (it rained through most the race, yuck). Overall it was a great work out. The Vermont  marathon really pushed me!

 I just hope to keep on shaving time off in the future.  Progress seems to be gradual.

Congrats on the PR. I was there too. I agree, it was a rainy and miserable morning. Battery Street hill is pretty tough, but the drum corps are a big help! Keep up the hard work!

I am in Egypt and Tanzania for six weeks and will not be able blog as often as I would like. I am suing my time in Egypt to give my body some recovery time before I start training hard again for my next marathon.  I ma planning to run the Atlanta marathon next if all goes well.  from now until Mid-July, I am going to try to keep my mileage under 12 miles a day with some speed work a couple of times a week.

good job on your race! i think it's a good time, and it gives you a nice benchmark to shoot for next time around. keep up the good work.

Post some more details. What were the splits?

Also did you warmup or cool down? When racing you should warm up for at least 2 miles. The warmup will help you run better in the race and will help with the overall mileage for the day as well. Then run a cool down to reach the mileage goal for the day. This way you can afford to race frequently in a way that aides your training.

How fast can you run 100 meters all out? My feeling is somewhere around 19 seconds or faster. If that is the case you should be able to hit several 1:30 quarters no problem if you were not afraid to push it.

Try starting your quarters with a near all out sprint and then see what happens. Pay attention to how you feel and what it is exactly that makes you slow down. Also, take more rest between them.

I did look at your training, and had a thought. I think you are ready to run much faster than what your race performances have demonstrated, but just do not know how. I would recommend finding a faster training partner for some workouts that can run your dream pace forever without straining himself. Then tell him to go the dream pace and try to hang on. When you cannot, your workout ends. Just cool down a mile or two and be done.

I would focus on the following paces: 7:00, 7:30, and 8:00. The eventual goal is to learn to make it through the 5 K at 7:00 pace, through 10 miles at 7:30, and keep 8:00 to 15 and feel good enough to go further if you had to. Of course, initially you will not meet those goals, and you will always be reaching a point of failure before the end of the distance. Pay particular attention to what caused the failure. Caving legs? Out of breath? Nausea? Wearing an HRM is a good idea if you have one. Right before the failure happens as you desperately try to keep the pace what does your HR do? Does it spike or does it drop?

I pulled the muscle connecting my fourth toe in the ball of my foot on Saturday.  

I have been out of commission since then. I am trying to give  it a week or two to make sure it heals completely.  This is the first running injury i have had that i have not been able to ignore or that has not healed quickly.  It is taking forever!!!!  I am doing the elliptical at the gym everyday until then. Sucks!

This was not a great run.  I have been feeling some short sharp pain in my left knee since yesterday.  They come and go and when they came during my run today, I cut it short.I am really hoping that this isn't anything serious.I'll ice it and we we will see.

felt pretty good. I think my disconfort last week came from me not taking a day off after the day last Sunday. I underestimated how hard I ran on Sunday. I should I have gone for a recovery run instead of running 12 miles on Monday.

I did about the same in this as in my last marathon.  I was really hoping for improvement so I am a little bummed out. Perhaps, the six weeks of running during training time bc of my injury affected my performance.  Anyway, trying to let it go and focus on starting new training in a month for marathon in six months...

Sorry you're bummed out about that race, but I'll take that time :)

i think you did very well. consistency is always better than regression. sometimes improvements take time. if you can stay healthy, i think your consistent high mileage training will bring you a breakthrough at the next one. take some time to recover. well done and good luck with your next training cycle.

Thanks! I am trying to focus on the positive and i am really looking forward to this new training season...:)

Looks like it's going to be a cold one this winter...ouch!:)
