RunLog Day 5

7.50 miles 1:07:28 9:00/mile 869 feet elevation gain

Easy and relaxed today. Couple hills. Blasted the last mile – downhill! First week in a month or so that I’ve actually run all the runs on my plan. So that’s good.

RunLog Day 4

15.01 miles today. 2:36:43. 10:26/mile. 1,654 feet elevation gain.

Early morning in Frick Park. First hour plus was in the dark. Everything felt great today. Spring Energy was amazing. Two week until Baker!

RunLog Day 2

6.66 miles today.
57:43, 8:40/mile average. 453 feet elevation gain.

Pretty easy effort today. Tagged a couple more streets for City Strides – officially over 10% of all Pittsburgh streets.

RunLog Day 1

I’m going to make an attempt at keeping a daily log of my training here on the website. I already track all my training in a spreadsheet and also by hand in a monthly calendar, but I thought typing it out might be a useful, brief daily exercise (dad joke!).

Today’s workout was as follows:

20-minute warm up
15 minutes at a decent effort (6-8 perceived effort, out of 10)
5-minute recovery period
15 minutes at a decent effort
20-minute cool down

I ended up covering 9.27 miles in 1:15:40, for an average pace of 8:10/mile, with 568 feet of elevation gain.

I felt pretty good overall; this was an enjoyable workout. I don’t always like the mid-week workouts, but today’s felt nice. Not too taxing on the system as I’ve got a 50-miler coming up at the end of the month.
