Zumba morning class, stretching, ankle exercises. Feeling sore from yesterday. very slow 8 mile run in 64 minutes (8 min mile pace). Stomach felt very upset after the run (i think it was from drinking coffee this morning, which I usually never do)

9 miles in 64.5 minutes so about 7:11 min mile pace. Was feeling great on the run! It seems that cross training and dropping my mileage has definitely made me faster.

Stretching and ankle exercises plus an evening zumba class.

track workout: 30 minute warmup (3 miles), 2 laps of strides and some dynamic stretching, 2400m run in 8:51, 1 mile of 400 meter floats (16 minutes) , 2X 400 in  (80 seconds and 83 with 400 meter jog in between), 18 minute cool down (1.5 miles)

I tried to use my 2400m meter to calculate VO2 max, which would be 442.5 because I averaged 88.5 s a lap?

Stretching and ankle exercises. It felt really good to be doing a track workout again. I was doing a lot of strides because I was focusing on getting my sprinting form back to where it was (it was a little sloppy).

11 miles in about 7:18 min mile pace.. felt great and very strong. also fbf class in the morning as well as stretching. I have become much more conscientious about cooling down with a walk and dynamic stretches at the end of a run, so I will see tomorrow if I feel like that helped me recover more rapidly.

Hill workout- started intorducing light hill repeats to gradually build up to more intense. 

6 repeats of a low grade hill (about .6 miles) that is made up of 2 parts (hill then flat then hill) it took about 4-5 minutes to run up and then down. Total time about 27 minutes and mileage was 3.6 miles.

plus 6.5 other miles (run to and back from hill) so about 10 miles total (VERY INEXACT MILEAGE which is why I keep typing "about"). Total time was 75 minutes and then I did a 15 minute cool down of running drills, dynamic stretching and a cooldown walk.

Overall pace was probably 7:15-20 on the run to the hill and then slower while I was doing the hill repeats.

Stretching- I have noticed a big difference in my recovery when I cooldown with dynamic stretches so I plan to continue this trend.

1 hour yoga, 2.25 miles on trail plus 5 miles to/from trail on hills. Definitely a more intense run than anticipated, especially since I was planning an easy run, and hadn't run on significantly difficult trails recently and the route to the trail was very hilly! 19 (about 7:30 min mile pace) minutes for 2.5 miles to trail, 10:45 min of 1st trail loop and 10:34 for second loop (each about 1.1 miles according to trail map) and then 17:53 (almost 7 min mile pace) back home for a total of 58:24.

30 minute warmup. cooldown and warmup jog totaled 5 miles

32 minutes of hill intervals. I am replacing track intervals with hill intervals for the next two weeks because I do not have access to a track, but there are lots of hills. In this case, the total hill was about 1 mile and I did 5 repeats. It took 2-3 minutes to run up the hill (a steep and quite long one) and then about 4 minutes to jog down and around the culdesac. so about 5 miles total of running on the hill repeats. 

then 9 minute jog back, plus 20 minutes of cooldown including walking plus 10 minutes of dynamic stretching and running drills.

in the morning 1.5 hours yoga plus ankle exercises

although I recovered well from yesterday's hard workout because of all the stretching and cooling down, I felt very slow this morning on my easy run. I did 2 miles on pavement and 4.5 on trail (very rocky and twisty). The run felt wonderful, but my body is definitely feeling that I had a good workout yesterday. The run took 60 minutes and the mileage is inexact. I was running about 9 min miles according to the calculator, but I don't know how exact that is. Cooldown with 10 min walk and then 10 min of dynamic stretching plus ankle exercises.

track workout: 30 minutes warmup, 800 meters of strides

800 (2.59), 2x 1000 with a surge of middle 200 (3.56, 4.01), 2x800 (3.10, 3.08), 1x400 (87) all with 200 rest.

Times were extremely slow, but it was sleeting out and the track was flooding, which I attribute to some of slowness. I felt good but this was first track workout done in a while

20 min cooldown

12 miles in 92 minutes so about 7:45 min mile pace. stretching and ankle exercises. Had an upset stomach so was running very slowly and ended up only doing 12 miles instead of the 16 mile run I planned. What are some good tips for dealing with running on an upset stomach? I am not sure exactly what caused the feeling today, maybe I ate too close to the run?
