  2. RUN
    good 3 x 1 mile tempo run with 1:3... 7 mi

    This workout was challenging but good. My coach ran with me and made sure I didn't go too fast at the start. It didn't feel too hot when we started but boy it sure did for the last mile... read more

  6. RUN
    blah 5 miles at marathon pace 7 mi

    great 30 minute steady state run 6 mi
