Beginning of March

10. March 2008 by admin.

Hey guys giving you the Lo-down on March 3rd-9th! So on march 1st of course was my 100 miler and then next day I had work..that was fun I limped around dying and moaning for a couple of hours then got to go home and get some well deserved sleep. Then on Monday, I was feeling great ready to get back into my running routine already but didnt want to try yet at my mom’s request and advice. So then on Tuesday I decided to get together with Tomas my mentor and we went on an easy 5-6 miler around Iron Mountain area. Beatiful San Diego weather lately I might add. We were talking about the newest biggest athletes who were winning the Ironmans these days and we also discussed a training plan to get faster and beat the 3 hour marathon. So with beating a 3 hour marathon on my mind I decided to try and beat the hour and half for the half marathon the next day. So after I got out of lunch during sixth period I went down to the track and ran 53 consecutive laps around the track (most boring run of my life…except for that time on the treadmill…) and I finished 13.1 miles in 1 hour and 27 minutes averaging around 6:45 per mile. The rest of the week, I spent really just recovering and working out (trying to get some more muscle mass to burn on the longer runs..). Then friday came around and I felt like beating myself up so, I did three 5:30 repeat miles my splits were 5:27, 5:29 and 5:33 that crap hurt more than the 100 mile run. Then this weekend I took it easy and just did some biking and swimming switching up the work outs and getting ready to continue the routine for the next week. Well thanks for keeping up and please make a donation today! See you on the road!
