AM: Treadmill - 9 miles in 62:20 w/ quality minutes based progression + strides. Core and stretching after.

Did 15 minutes up, 20 minutes @ 9 MPH, 15 minutes @ 9.3, 5 minutes @ 8, then some strides in the last 5 minutes. Better than last week. A bit stronger, but nothing impressive. Just trying to tune effort levels during base building.

PM: Treadmill - 5 miles with a few harder strides. Light stretching after

A guy (Mike Popejoy) I had a few classes with at Purdue won RnR New Orleans with what I think is about a minute or so PR. Held off Ben Bruce, but I see he ran a cheeky little sub-63 minute half at the championships. 15 seconds shy of the OT for the half. Still searching for that photo of us from B2B. It's pretty funny (the size difference).

AM: Treadmill - 8.75 miles in a bit over 62 minutes. Did 6 x 4 minutes with 2 minute recovery jogs. Strides at the top of the hour, then core. Bowl of cereal and stretching.

A little faster than last week, a little longer, and shorter recovery. Not much to write coach about but I'll take small increments for now.

PM: Treadmill - 4.25 @ gentleman jogger pace. Did a set of weights (presses).

Why so many treadmill runs? Oh, I don't know. It does force me to get my core, stretching, and weights in, which is part of the idea.

Lunch: 9 miles easy + core and stretching.

Saw this yesterday. A list of current qualifers for the Olympic Trials. Number 63, just behind Ryan Hall, FRB's Paul Petersen. Not sure there are too many on there who have been 3 times (there are a few).

PM: 11.25 miles, mostly easy with a throw down in the last mile @ 5:32.

I was pretty pleased when I saw that little Easter egg when I opened Strava. I recovered quickly. I think I will be ready to put a hurtin on my 5k goal in April.
