10 mile run this morning
Ran the Ortega River Run course and to St. Vincent's and back with James this morning.
We did what James calls "Kenyan Training" for my 7th mile (9th mile for James, since he starts by StV and meets up with me in my neighborhood). I was able to do the mile in 6:50. I can definitely tell I've missed speed training the last 2 weeks. Legs didn't feel as quick as normal. Then again, it is a challenging stretch of road with some inclines, and jumping on and off the sidewalk. Plus the sidewalks in that stretch aren't in the best shape.
I was going to do a 30-mile bike ride at lunch, but will probably skip that. I'll try to jump in the pool later today for 2000.
Since St. Anthony's is 4 weeks from Sunday, James recommends I ratchet it up the next 3 weeks. Increase swimming from 6000 to 8000 to 10000. Increase biking from 80 miles to 100 miles to 120 miles. Keep running around 20-25 miles a week. Then take it easy the week before the race.
Gulp! Sounds like. . .fun?!?
