March 6 (85 miles/week)

AM: 20 miles easy/moderate

I went for a run solo this morning through Duke Forest, and I more or less felt fantastic the entire time despite constant rain, like I could have run 20 more. I'm getting ready to race at this point.

March 5

AM: 10 x 3:00 on/1:00 off - 11 miles

I got in a solo workout from the apartment, across campus, and on the WaDuke trail. I didn't have the Garmin tracking the pace, but I finished the entire run just under 66 minutes including warmup and cooldown.

PM: 12 miles easy

Easy late afternoon run that was complicated. Some poor lunch choices led to an emergency stop at Lowes.

March 3

PM: 11 miles easy

Easy mid-day run with Reed through Duke Forest right after my Operations final.

March 2

AM: 4x400m @ 5k pace with 100m jog recovery, 4:30 jog, "long fitness loop tempo" on the WaDuke trail, 4:30 jog, 4x400m @ 5k pace with 100m jog recovery - 10 miles


Great workout this morning with the Bull City Track Club. Reed, Jason, and I pushed each other for a lot of this. The tempo portion in the middle was probably closer to 10k/XC pace, finishing with the trail's grueling series of short, steep hills that saw Reed put ~10 seconds on me, with Jason just 10 seconds behind me as well. We came back to the track and ran our 400s at a fast clip, so we left some in the tank today while still managing a hard effort. The short rest on the 400s made them count.

Splits: :72, :73, :72, :72, 10:17, :72, :71, :70, :66

Easy solo run on the ATT in the morning.

Easy run with Reed in the morning before school. Finals week this week is going to yield slightly less running.
