Patience, But With Urgency

Mon, 04/23/2012 7 mile hill-climb on treadmill in 45:00 + 8 x strides * Inspired by watching Mt. Washington 2010 with Siemers and Blake dueling it out in pain, I got on 8.0mph at 2% incline for 5:00, then 7.5mph at 6.0% for 5:00, 7.5mph at 6.5%, 7.0mph at 7.0%, 7.0mph at 7.5%, 7.0mph at 8.0% for 30 min of uphill, then finished off 15:00 at 8.0mph and 2% feeling really good. Rain/wind outside, but did my strides outdoors. Tue, 04/24/2012 3 x (1200-800-400m) on grass in 4:01-2:30-72, 3:56-2:31-72, 3:51-2:30-72 (r. 90") * Absolutely trashed from yesterday's treadmill effort. I had nothing. My glutes were weak and sore, as were my calves. It didn't help that it was 36-degrees and wet/sloppy conditions on the grass fields. Very glad I got out there. It's such a mental game at this stage in my career. Getting stronger. Wed, 04/25/2012 7 miles recovery around Elkridge in 44:04 Thu, 04/26/2012 7.5 miles steady, 5 loops around Wesley Ln. in 48:56 + 8 strides * 10:10, ...
