Comments Out and Back from art Museum into Manyaunk. Great rhythm, perfect weather, good scenery. Had to fight off the occasional warrior jogger in basketball shorts trying to tag on after I pass. Nothing a few quick surges couldn't fix.

Tue March 20th - Tempo Run - 10.35mi

Time of day 8:30 AM
Distance 10.35 mi
Shoe Air Pegasus + (y/g12)
Comments Schuylkill Banks/Trail on the inner loop. Warmed up for 20 mins before going straight into 5 x 1 mile with 1 min recovery. Still feeling wrecked from my long run the other day.

Splits: 5:30, 5:44, 5:42, 5:47, 5:31

Was aiming for a 5:40 pace throughout which would be equivalent to mid 5:30s in trainers on this trail. Felt all over the place trying to maintain a decent pace. Not feeling to great during the intervals but recovered fine by the end of each minute. More turnover to come.

Sun March 18th - Long Run - 15.38mi

Time of day 4:30 PM
Distance 15.38 mi
Shoe Air Pegasus (wh/bl)
Comments Long run from the museum up to Philly University and back on the west side through the trails. tried to relax up the hills on the first 8 and cruise back. Felt relaxed most of the way, started to feel my legs on the last 3 miles or so. To be expected on my first serious long run of the year. Surprised on the distance after mapping it out, longer than planned.

Sat March 17th - Easy Run - 8mi

Time of day 6:00 PM
Distance 8.00 mi
Comments 4 miles easy and some strides. Decided to do a 3 mile pickup but didnt end well. Opened up in 5 flat and came back with 5:20 feeling quite dead. Not very motivating, didnt finish the 3. Jogged in with a cool down. Need to introduce some speed into my training despite not getting the base in over the winter. I would like to start racing soon.
