Time for another #miletimetrial to assess progress. About a month ago I clocked a 6:16. Since then I've done #chivirtualtri plus two #5k races. Then I hit a fitness wall about a week or so ago. All my performance stats went to crap and my Garmin was giving me the dreaded "Unproductive" indicator every day. When I see that on the watch for one day, no big deal, but when I see it every day for a week, yeah something is out of whack. I finally decided to take the past weekend off and now I'm building back. But I'm clearly not all the way back. Thanks weird thing is, today's 6:30 was evenly paced the whole way, and I always felt like there was another gear there...but I just couldn't get to it. Then when I finished I was only modestly winded. I recovered quickly after it too, then worked some bleachers and cooled down, barely beating the big storm that rolled in. Anyway, a few years ago when I trained hard for the mile and got down to a 5:32, I collapsed on the turf when I finished with my lungs and legs on fire. Oh well, all I can do is #keepshowingup and #puttinginthework. I have to believe that breakthrough will come at some point. #runblr #fitblr #fallrunning #trackworkout #timetrial #masterstrackathlete #xctraining #mastersxcrunner (at Wilbert Tucker Woodson High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFvehMOHgrR/?igshid=1d5n6087wcx5l

This morning I got up early to do a 1 mile time trial. The training plan I’m doing has them every month or so. In July, my mile time was 7:07. Today, it was 7:22. I’m pretty sure I’ve slowed down because of the leg fatigue, so I’m not worried. Hopefully September shows some improvement! I think I’ll also continue doing these time trials after my race is over. I like the idea of having a benchmark like this.

Sports bras in February 😜 Happy workout Wednesday!

Got some coaching and some miles done in the scorching heat today. First coaching @steven_dong4 through a 12 x 400 #trackworkout I got at least 2 miles in just jogging around on the football field while I called out his splits. Then we jogged his cooldown, before I headed out for 5 more miles on my own. 9.3 for the day, not bad in 91° weather! Hill work tomorrow. #bringiton! #runblr #fitblr #puttinginwork (at Justice High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBlo8VHdDj/?igshid=199hjv5hx6nxp

Been testing out this new #corestrength workout from @nuunhydration this cycle. Tonight’s workout came after I had already done a #trackworkout (plus a short #trailrun with @finnmcshane earlier in the day) and it was a doozy. I have to confess I stopped after three sets. My legs were just plain done. As for the track sesh, that started easily enough, with a simple #30minuterun but then came 6 x 150 accelerations - accelerate to top speed in the first 50, float the next 50, then accelerate again the final 50. Short but tough workout that’s a great speed builder. That was my last quality workout until #rocknrollarizona10k. I fly out on Friday and race on Sunday. I didn’t back off training this week but I feel like I am ready to race well anyway. #runblr #fitblr #masterstrackathlete #mastersrunner #cherryblossomtenmiler #monumentave10k #winterrunning #springracingseason #mcmillanrunteam (at Life Time Athletic - Fairfax) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7XiCYhnKdA/?igshid=1ajf3sgtzvw44

It's been a while since I've done a big #trackworkout like this one, 8 x 800 repeats at tempo effort with short 200 recoveries between reps. I was a little uncertain beforehand if I could handle 8, and I could have stopped at 6 per my @mcmillanrunning #mcmillanrunteam plan, but I told myself to be brave and get after it. I was slower than I wanted to be in the first 4. It was a chilly evening and it just seemed to take while to get in the flow. But in the second half it clicked and I bit my pace range. Nice to finish strong. The road to #usatfxcnationals continues. #runblr #fitblr #mastersxcrunner #fallrunning #trackworkout #temporepeats (at Wilbert Tucker Woodson High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3-52-jHZPz/?igshid=qb6qo5snndp3
