St. Jude Training – Week 13
Theme of this past week was pace.
Monday was a general aerobic 8 miler.
Tuesday’s run was 9 miles with 5 x 1000m intervals with a 90 seconds jog between (4:48, 4:46, 4:42, 4:46, 4:44). According to McMillian, the target was 4:46 to 4:52 but I did check the chart until today.
Wednesday was a rest day and because of all day meetings at work, I didn’t make it to the pool again this week. Not a good trend.
Thursday as a 12 mile run.
Friday was a 5 mile recover run.
Saturday was a marathon specific run of 17 miles with 14 at marathon pace. After a three mile warm up, I hit the gas. Ran the 14 miles at an 8:56 average pace, which included a pit stop at mile 6 and 12.
Finally, a big congratulations to Lana and Michele who both completed their first Ironman in Florida on Saturday.
