STG Training – Week 5: Where Did That Come From?

20140526-150847-54527222.jpg

Wednesday’s Run

Yesterday I couldn’t get myself out of bed in time to get in my run before work so I ended up having to squeeze it in between work and mid-week Bible study. It was fairly hot, but the humidity was down just a bit. My schedule called for 6-miles at “easy” pace, so I decided to start from my house and do a 6-mile route through the streets of Bellevue. When I went to grab my Garmin I saw that the battery was dead, so I just took my basic Timex stopwatch instead.

I knew from the start that my legs felt good, but I really didn’t know what pace I was running without my GPS. The heat was pretty intense, but I maintained a steady pace and my legs felt good throughout the run. When I got back to the house my stopwatch read 48 minutes, 46.16 seconds. I used MapMyRun.com to confirm that my route was actually 6-miles, and it came out to 6.05. This translates to a pace of 8:04 per mile, which is quite a bit faster than my “easy” pace target of 9:05 to 8:26. This is actually even faster than my “long” run pace range of 8:05 to 8:25.

Not sure where this burst came from, but it was actually a big confidence boost after many slower runs in recent days.

STG Training – Week 5: Back-to-Back 8-Milers to Start the Week

20140526-150847-54527222.jpgThis week started out with back-to-back 8-mile runs at “easy” pace on Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday I met Nathan at BUMC for a run through Bellevue, the Harpeth River Greenway, and Edwin Warner Park. The heat and humidity were especially nasty yesterday, which made this run a challenge. My legs were really, really tight for the first few miles, but thankfully they slowly loosened up to where I felt better at the end of the run than at the beginning (always a plus). Here’s a breakdown of our splits:

STG Training – Week 4: It Was a Challenge, But Another Week is in the Books for St. George Marathon Training

20140526-150847-54527222.jpg

After two consecutive tough workouts on Thursday and Saturday, I fully expected this morning’s 6-mile “easy” run to be a challenge, and I was right. The heat and humidity continue to be tough, and I was really feeling it from the start. Thankfully my legs felt fairly decent, and this only got better as the run progressed. I started from my house and did a big loop through Bellevue, Edwin Warner Park, and the Harpeth River Greenway. My pace started out extremely chill, but I actually got below 9:00 pace for the last mile:

STG Training – Week 4: Thankful for Friends Who Pulled Me Through My “Speed” and “Tempo” Workouts in Nasty Heat & Humidity

20140526-150847-54527222.jpg

Thursday’s Run

On Thursday I met the JSRC track group at 6pm at Vanderbilt to complete my weekly “speed” workout. I did the week 3 “speed” workout prescribed in the Hansons Advanced Training Plan. This was 6 x 800m with 400m recovery in-between each interval. This equates to 3-miles of intervals and 1.5-miles of recovery. Based on my goal marathon time of 3:15, the target splits for this workout are 3:15. While, this is the goal, the Hanson brothers really emphasize not exceeding your target pace, and even make their athletes do sets of push-ups for every second they exceed their goal.

However, “exceeding” this goal was not gonna happen on Thursday due to the nasty heat and humidity. It was 94º in full sun, with a “feels like” of 98º at the beginning of my warmup:

STG Training – Week 4: SOS, SOS, There’s a Deer on the Bridge!!

20140526-150847-54527222.jpg

Tuesday’s Run

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that one of the core principles of the Hansons Advanced Training Plan was “Cumulative Fatigue.” This is the idea that you are always running on tired legs up until marathon race week. Well a second core principle is the inclusion of two to three “SOS” runs per week. “SOS” stands for Something Of Substance and includes:

  1. Long Runs – From 10 to 16-miles…completed at a pace somewhere between goal marathon pace and easy pace
  2. Speed / Strength Workouts – Speed runs are in the first 1/2 of the schedule and include 3-miles of intervals at 5k pace. Strength runs are in the second-half of the schedule and include 6-miles of intervals at half-marathon pace.
  3. Tempo Runs – From 6 to 10 miles…completed at goal marathon pace

Yesterday was my first scheduled 10-mile “long” run under the Hansons Advanced Marathon training plan. My target pace range for these runs 8:25 to 8:05, and I knew this was going to be a BIG challenge with my tired legs and the nasty heat and humidity. I met Brian and Nathan at the Harpeth River Greenway parking lot across from the Old Harding Road driving range, and we did a 5-mile out-and-back on the greenway back towards Edwin Warner Park. I felt fairly decent from the start, and this only got better as the run progressed. Our first mile was a little slow, but we were also still warming up. After that point I had three splits that were either too slow or too fast by a few seconds, but was generally in the goal range. Here’s a rundown of the splits:

STG Training – Week 4: Good Start to Week 4

20140526-150847-54527222.jpgI met Brian and Nathan this morning at Brian’s house for a 6-mile run “easy” through the surrounding neighborhoods along with Sneed and Temple roads. This route was out-and-back, and I felt pretty rough on the way out. My legs were very tight and just had no jump to them. It also didn’t help that the nasty humidity is firmly back after a nice reprise on Friday and Saturday mornings.

However, as soon as we turned around for the way back things started to improve dramatically, which can clearly be seen in the splits over the final three miles:
