This was the 3rd Tues. booster run workout...and progress is good!!!
If you remember from
Week 1 the booster run...was bad...couldn't hit pace at all, really hilly route as well as cutting it short at 6 miles versus the 8.
Week 2 - booster run, changed route to a more flat course but not a pancake, attempt to do the full 8 miles. It went really well, felt great.
Week 3 - booster run, was 10 min WU, 10 miles at steady state pace (6:17-6:42), 10 CD; about 90 minutes total. I used the same route as last week, I just started the steady state portion 5 minutes earlier. This route is so much better as it puts the steady state portion on a bike path with no traffic, so I don't have to start and stop, look to cross a road or anything.
It is my plan to either stay one more week for the booster run at this route, or move to the hilly route again now that it has been 3 weeks, and attempt to complete it there due to my end goal being a pretty hilly course!
I have two more workouts this week (Thursday and Saturday). Thursday's is a new one, not the same as the last 2 weeks progression runs (the progression run will move to Sunday). I have a choice of either a hill workout or fartlek. I am leaning towards the hill repeats as it has been some time since I have focused on hill repeats. This will build more power versus stamina.
