Like last Sunday, I set to complete 4x200 with 200m walk/3:30 rest, followed by 4x150 with 150m walk/2:30 rest. After the first 200, I decided my target pace would be 33. 33-mid, 33-low, 32-high, 32-mid. I went into the 150 figuring 23s would be appropriate. So I managed 23-mid, 23-low, 22-high, and 22-mid. Did I say this morning was soupy?
Sat, Aug 16-Went to Somerset Hills YMCA with V. Jogged a pedestrian mile on treadmill (9:50), followed by .5M walk at a decent clip. Stretched and lifted a little. Jogged a half-mile at 8:30 pace. Walked .25M. Light stretching and more lifting followed.
Fri, Aug 15-Lambertville Inn. Tried to jog, but my legs weren't having it. I stopped about 100m into my effort and started walking. I walked for 25 minutes or so, covering 1.5+ miles.
Thurs, Aug 14-Did the 2-mile loop from campus towards town...in 16:45.
Wed, Aug 13-Went to the track. Did 4x150 in 23-mid, 23-low, 22-high, 22-mid, taking 2:30 rest between efforts; did 4 x 100 in 15-mid, 15-low, 14-high, 14-mid, taking 1:30 between tries.
Tues, 8/12/25-Ran the short neighborhood 2M loop counterclockwise. Watch charge died before first mile...NT. Seemed to be about the same pace as yesterday's effort.
Mon, 8/11/25-Ran the short neighborhood 2M loop...clockwise. 8:55, 8:30...17:25
Sun, 8/10-first workout on GSB's track. I was bummed that I had to hop the fence! Not my speed! Also, due to netting and other equipment in the first few lanes, I ran in lane 4 primarily. I tried my luck at 4x200 with 200m walk/3:30 rest, followed by 4x150 with 150m walk/2:30 rest. After the first 200, I decided my target pace would be 33. So I hit 4 of them like clockwork. I went into the 150 figuring 24s would be fine. So I hit 23-high, 23-mid, 23-low, and 22-low.
Sat, 8/11-took off; settling into new digs!
Fri, 8/10-went to canal trail. 1.25M, followed by .75M walk/run. Tired run. Feeling weak and anxious, I guess!
Thurs, 8/7/25-Went to Y. Biked 2M. Lifted a little. Stretched a little. Walked a .5M on treadmill.
Wed, 8/6/25-Went to the track. After a decent warm-up, I managed 8x100 with 60' rest. The goal was 16. I hit the time across all efforts, with the last one in 15.
Tues, 8/5/25-Same as yesterday, except 3M in 26:05. (9:05, 8:30, 8:00)
Mon, 8/4/25-Went to canal trail/towpath. 3M in 26:35. (9:15, 8:40, 8:10)
Sun, Aug 3-Went to GA for the workout. A more modest crowd of a baker's dozen this morning. The warm up session lingered for a bit, but then John shared he wanted to do 3x200 in about 30' with a 60' rest. I knew I couldn't manage this in my condition, though I knew I'd give it a whirl. I figured a set of 33s would be reasonable. As it turned out, I managed 31-mid, 32-mid, and 31-high, with John hitting 29, 30, and 31. Harris ran 30-high for the first one. The rests weren't a minute; they were more like 90'! What can I say? I'm a stickler, although I did appreciate the more generous rest!
Sat, Aug 2-Went to the canal trail and ran an easy 3M in 28:10. 10:05, 9:25, 8:40.
Fri, 8/1/25-
Went to the Y with V. Tried to warm up on the treadmill at 10:00/mile pace and my body quit on me. After a third of a mile, I had to start walking. Once I reached a mile, I stretched and lifted some. I eventually returned to the treadmill for another walk/jog combination, this one a bit more comfortable but nonetheless unsatisfying.
