Struggling Through Another Round Of Speed Work

ByTim Nolte

Another speed work training run to kick my butt this morning. I pretty much struggled to keep up with the fast 7:27 min/mile pace I was supposed to be maintaining for 4 minute intervals. We’ll see how this winter training goes. I have a feeling it’s going to be challenging to get through speed work once the snow falls. I have a hard time with the idea of having to do my speed work on the treadmill, but I guess I can’t rule it out.

Given the intensity of the run this morning, other than asking God to get me through another 4 minute interval, my prayer time was pretty much nil. Not exactly how I prefer my runs to go. This is definitely something to evaluate. I also never want to lose sight of my commitment to which is one of the big reasons I’ve continued to run.

    Trying A New App And 10k Training Schedule

    ByTim Nolte
    New training schedule for a 10k with Runtastic. Since I got a free premium subscription I thought I’d give this a whirl instead of paying for Endomondo. We’ll see how I like it. Tim just finished a Runtastic run of 4.28 mi in 40m 25s

    Warm Weather Means Running Outside

    ByTim Nolte
    Had a great morning run OUTSIDE today. Felt great to be outside again. I can tell that my body is allowed to more naturally be in control of the pace I’m running at any given point. I do think the treadmill running has helped my outside run today. Got a personal best on 3miles, woot!…
