A Fitness Level Training Run to Start the New Year Right

I post my runs for 3 purposes, to bring awareness to the need for clean water, to motivate or encourage other runners, and to keep myself accountable.

Overall I kept a good average pace for the entire 32 minute run. When you look at the details, however, you can see that while I started off strong in the first half I lost a lot of steam for the second half. I’ve got a long ways to go but my hope is that each week I’m doing a little better then the last.

    Focus And Determination Required For This Training Run

    Today’s training run was an intense interval run that pretty much required my complete focus. I only had 30 seconds to “recover” between my 6 minute long 8 minutes/mile pace intervals, and there were 8 of those. I had quite a few misses, and I was short on my final distance by about .02 miles,…

    Sluggish Training Run But Thinking of ETC

    Another training run in the books. I could definitely feel the soreness in my legs from the half marathon still. I could also tell that some bad eating the previous few days was affecting how I was feeling while running. I really need to get back on track with things. I did enjoy another day…

    An 8 Mile Tuesday For Clean Water

    In a time when many of us are stuck in our homes I’m glad to still be able to get out and run. I could definitely tell things were quieter than normal when I was finishing up my run. I am glad to know that, so far, no cases of COVID-19 have been reported in…
