RunLog Days 11-14

Saturday 8/22: 12 miles scheduled, 0 miles run. Spent the day working on a deck at my house.

Sunday 8/23: 8 miles scheduled. 13.13 miles. 2:34:53. 11:48/mile. 1414 feet elevation gain. Last real run before Baker 50 on Saturday. This felt great. Spring Energy gels were terrific again. Feeling good.

Monday 8/24: Rest day.

Tuesday 8/25: 6.22 miles. 50:56. 8:11/mile. 400 feet elevation gain. Relaxed but strong run. Felt pretty good throughout. Just focused on running relaxed and staying injury free before Saturday.

RunLog Day 9

4.43 miles. 40:43. 9:13/mile. 479 feet elevation gain.

Super casual today. Quick lunchtime run around the neighborhood and local park. Starting to relax a bit and taper my way to Baker next weekend.

RunLog Day 8

8.55 miles. 1:15:21. 8:49/mile. 1,004 feet elevation gain.

Workout today. 3 mile warm up. 4x: 3-minutes uphill at good effort (7-9/10), 3-minutes jog back down. 3 mile cool down.

Hill repeats are never very fun. I chose to do mine on Stanton Avenue today, which features a nice long hill from Lawrenceville all the way to Stanton Heights. I very nearly didn’t even begin this workout. It was quite difficult to get out of bed today, but I’m glad I did it.

This was my last big workout before the Baker Trail 50-miler at the end of the month.

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!
