6/13 PLAN:
AM Run 60 minutes -- with hill sprints and repeats

PM Run 30 - 45 minutes at recovery pace
Heart Rate Alarm - 132 (60% HRR)

6/13 ACTUAL:
Shoes: Vibrams FF "Seeyas"

AM Hill Workout
Time/Distance: 67 min / 4.5 miles
Max HR: 147
Workout: Warm up run for 1.5 miles; 6 accelerations (strides); 3 sets of hill sprints with 2-3 min full walking recovery in between each set. 1 set = 5 hill sprints as follows: accelerate 30 seconds up hill; walk across street; jog down hill; walk across street (5 times continuously). After the hill sprints, one continuous "easy" run up the full hill and back down, about 3/4 mile round trip. I did have to walk briefly on the steeper part of this last full hill.

PM Recovery Run
Time/Distance: 30 min / 3 miles
Heart Rate alarm controlled run (130 -- 58% HRR)
Straight run, except for the occasional brief walk in response to the HR alarm.
Mile Splits: 11:14 / 9:41 / 9:56

6/14 PLAN:
Run 30 - 45 minutes with 2 miles at tempo pace (8:48 - 9:10 /mi)

6/14 ACTUAL:
Shoes: Merrill Pace Gloves

Run/Walk Intervals - :60/:10 for tempo pace
Max HR: 165 (85% HRR)
Miles Splits: 15:00 / 8:51 / 8:22

Notes: Definitely carried some residual fatigue into this workout. Good thing it was short; I don't think I could have done a third mile at tempo pace. I got to the gym a little later than I had planned, so I only had time to warm up for one mile. I think it would have been better to have had a longer warm up.

I will assess my fatigue level in the morning and may cut back tomorrow's run to a recovery run, or may eliminate it altogether and take a rest day.

Run 60 minutes at 10:30 /mi
Run/Walk Intervals - :32/:10

6/15 ACTUAL:
Rest Day

    Thanks for sharing your plan and implementation. I am "new" to this running stuff and this helps me see how to organize and note my runs.

    Great week Catherine
When I look at this page, it looks so busy and very hard, when I look at your June Goals/Mileage Totals thread on the Galloway team, it looks much more doable in the bare bones condensed version. You are so organized and have a great program.
Like Nat, how do you compare the VVF and the Merrells?
Funny name, Seeyas
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
