AM

5:00 wake up. 5x1 mile at 10k pace with 1/4 mile rests. 3 up 3 down. Went to the flat road in Rose Park I used Tuesday. It's about 1.4 miles long with 7-8 turns. I took a wrong turn on the first split and did a 180 degree turn. But it helped so that I got to see the entire road and had 3 splits by the time I'd done my first out and back. One more out and back and the workout was done. 5:36.4, 5:32.7, 5:33.2, 5:33.5, 5:29.1. I wanted sub 5:30 but I am satisfied with the workout. My goal time requires a 5:24 10k pace according to Jack Daniels so I am on my way. It was colder than Tuesday and I stayed up until almost midnight. Very happy with my dedication in January and getting some nice workouts in in high volume weeks.

Lunch

Another 8.3 up emigration and back. Felt better than Tuesday's double but it was up and then down rather than down and back up. 7:00 average.

I think this is really good. You are still adjusting to the early AM workouts, and they never really get THAT easy in the winter. Good pacing and finishing strong... you're right where you want to be.

Nice workout in the cold. You need to get to bed earlier!!

Thanks guys - I like the path I'm on. I have been getting to bed by 10 or earlier but yesterday was my wife's bday and we were living it up a bit.

Wow, great workout Josh!

great work yet again.

very impressive. Solid workout this time of year. Early mornings are tough but winter early mornings are straight jacket type insanity. I would still rather run in -10 then 110 any day. Love the jump you have made in the past year!...make it happen...

After this run I am not sure what inspired you to run a hilly 20 miler today. Great week of running.
