St. Jude Training – Week 12

After the high mileage last week, I almost felt like this past week was a rest week.

Monday was 8 miles with 5 x 600m intervals.

Tuesday was an 11 mile run.

Wednesday was a rest day and I did make it back to the pool. I could tell I had only swam twice in the last four weeks….not good.

Thursday was four miles with 6 x 100m strides.

Friday was a “tune up” race. Since there were not any Friday races, I ran against my Garmin. The McMillian chart, said I should aim for a 7:44 pace. I came in at 48:49, a 7:51 pace, an unofficial PR.

Ran 17 miles Saturday morning. Only one more Saturday run before the time changes.

Sun: Rest
Mon: 7.95 miles w/6 x 600m intervals – 1:09:42, 8:46 pace

    I am not looking forward to the time change. 46 miles of rest is not what I’d call rest, but glad it worked for you.

    Man.

    If this is a “rest week”, then look out Memphis.

    You are really drilling well on the McMillen predictors. Good for you David.
