Today was an easy 10-mile trail run with 650 feet of elevation gain. Yesterday's five-mile run was also an easy pace. Tomorrow is an off day, and then Tuesday will be tempo, speed work, or fartleck, depending on how I feel.
@MrSpeedy, excellent work on your 5k! I'd have to dig deep to try and run 3.1 miles in 25 minutes, and I don't know if I could get there.
I am in the middle of training, which is always an interesting place to be. Following a plan, I have found good and bad days, and sticking to the plan and grinding through can be challenging. Most of the time, I feel like I suck, and occasionally I'll surprise myself. Usually, I am too focused on trying to get faster, which has happened after several months of consistent running, but never fast enough to satisfy me. But I feel good, my health is good, and having a goal is fun. Sort-of. I've done a lot of training, so I am familiar with the ebb and flow, but running is f'n hard!
