SUNDAY: 18 mile run (Mt Wash. Trainer)
Total ascent in 8 miles = 1732 feet
Max elevation: 3488 feet (It was a beautiful day, beautiful at the top, great fun the whole way).
VC to Summit time: 61:20
Down: 53:58
Overall run with warm-ups and cool downs 18 miles in 2:06. Great way to spend a Sunday. It was easier than I thought. Next time I'll just run it faster.
MONDAY: 8 mile run, 34 mile bike, 4 mile run (2 barefoot)
TUESDAY: 11 mile run (3 barefoot)
WEDNESDAY 23 mile bike, 14 mile run (WO w/ Andy)
Randomly Andy emailed me to see if I wanted to do a workout (apparently his normal Keene Wed workout partner had to bail - Thanks Justin!) So Andy traveled down to Amherst to do some South West 1000 meter repeats. It was supposed to be my easy day...
Me: 3:05, 3:05, 3:07, 3:04, 3:04, 3:03.
Andy: 3:05, 3:05, 3:00, 3:05, 3:01, 2:58.
Andy looked great and was very happy, as was I. Also, I believe the 1000s were two seconds longer than we usually do them, so it was a good day - 1st time we did more than 5 SW 1000s since UM years. Elevation profile available below. It's a perfect grade for a nasty workout. Once you start to really hurt at the top of the hill, it's a slight downhill until the end that forces you to run faster than you A) think you can, and B) want to. Good stuff. "South West" is the name of the living area at UMass that we run around.
Great week thus far R55/B57. I'm going to probably take it easy tomorrow... I'm still injured!!!
UPDATE 9/6/9:
THURSDAY: Bike 34 miles, run 6 (2 barefoot)
FRIDAY: Run 10 miles (AM), Run 7 miles (PM) (3 barefoot)
SATURDAY: Bike 46 miles.
The Week: 8/30-9/5: R78/B138.
One of best weeks in a long time... I felt amazing except for Saturday when I went for a hard bike ride with no food or water in me. I basically crashed the rest of the day. Next week Ollie Road Race. I'd like to do another 70 if possible.
