I kicked my butt this summer...and it felt awesome! Here are my stats:
Races: I ran (4) 5K's and was able to shave over a minute off my first races' time to the last.
(1) 10K and just about went under 40:00.
Long runs: (1) 12 miler
(1) 11 miler
(3) 10 milers
(2) 9 milers
*I'm not sure how many 7 & 8 milers I did but I'm guessing about (5).
I ran at least (2) 10K's a week
Speed: I was at the track at least once a week doing 400's, 800's, 1200's and 1600's. My average speed for my 400's was about 1:25.
Now that it is Fall, I've decided to cut back on my training. Start doing some slower longer runs. My average pace over the summer has been right at 7:00 minute miles and I think I'm gonna slow it down to 7:20-7:30 pace. I'm not really training for anything so I'm just going to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. This summer has been great though. I feel like I'm in really good shape! I even got my six pack back!
BUT...to say goodbye to summer and summer training, I kicked my butt at the track today and did 12x4oo meters at 1:25 pace (with a minute rest). It was great.
