It would seem that overall last week was a wash. The workouts didn't go perfectly, I missed a run on Friday which ended up setting me back for the race on Saturday and fell apart in the 3k at Air Force. I felt bad about the run because the coaches at Air Force were nice enough to let me run the race. I have come to the conclusion that not running the day before a race is very bad for me. I seem to have bad races and feel flat. Makes no sense, but oh well.
Sunday 15 miles MVP.
Monday 13 miles Mvp.
Tuesday Workout 8x400 in 60 seconds with 3 min rest- 10 miles total
Wednesday 13 miles Mvp
Thursday 12x200 meters avg about 30 seconds- 11 miles total
Friday- 0!! bad move on my part.
Saturday Race at Air Force. About 7 miles total
I seem to be stuck in the 65 to 75 mile range right now. This will be my third week of workouts and I am having a hard time adjusting to them after a very long lapse.

I've found the same thing with the day off before a race. I've heard there's some science out there that explains why, but it's definitely true that a day off before the race causes you to be flat. I've taken to going 3 miles super easy two days before a race and then about an hour easy the day before a race. Works out much better for me anyway.
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you. I need to run 6 miles the day before a race. If I don't, I end up feeling way off.
