Today’s workout was supposed to be 5 miles easy. But my Wife decided to come with me for the first two (she’s not a runner). So those miles ended up being around an 11 minute pace. Then I decided to push the last 3.5 miles around an 8-830 pace. Overall,… Read more⇢

The plan this week is to get six runs in. One will be a long run of 12, the other five will be 5 mile runs. Either all of them will be easy or I will make one a speed workout. Starting to feel like I have not done a… Read more⇢

Quick recap of the previous week: I ran a total mileage of 20 miles. Which consisted of four 5-mile runs. I did not feel the best or very motivated to go further or faster but I am happy with the total mileage; as it keeps me within my weekly target.… Read more⇢

Not all of our runs end up exactly as we intend! This run was supposed to be 9 miles but I only got to 5. I’m always grateful for getting any mileage in but the ones where I fall short bother me a little bit more than normal. My pacing… Read more⇢
