I'll do up to 10k pace on the street and 5k pace in 3 minute intervals or shorter. Anything longer and chances are good I'll be getting stopped by some distracted driver as I run in a city where the blocks are not long, ergo there are more of them.

That said if I have a track nearby but if I had to I would make it work so forget everything I just said. 

 

 Also on Tuesday will be my first VO2 Max workout, 12 miles with 6x1200m @ 3-5k pace.  Does anyone do intervals on the street?  I'll need to do that workout in the morning and I'm not sure I can use the track by my house.  1200m is about 3/4 of a mile, so I can easily track that with my Garmin.

 

I've done it, especially the longer ones. You just need to have long enough stretches where you don't have to cross any streets or anything. But I've certainly never done 6 repeats of 1200m at that kind of pace. I do 4 of those; if I had to do 6, I would die.

16 miles for me. Bleah, was definitely not into it. Temp got up over 20, but still felt cold. I managed to not actually look at my watch till I was past 12. But really wanted to be done at that point, another 4 seemed like an eternity. Although I did manage to pick up the pace at the end; overall was MP+60, last 2 were MP+30 and MP+10. Glad to be done.

61 miles for the week, first one >60 since September.

 

I wore a long sleeve tech over a singlet and was fine for the run (sweated like a pig actually), but now am freezing my avocados off.

Holy guacamole!

 

I visited my dad this morning. The suspicion is that he has early-stage multiple myeloma. He'll have a bone marrow biopsy tomorrow.

I'm f****** terrified.

 Sorry you and your dad are going through this, hopefully they can catch it and help him.

I have no idea what that is but hope it's caught early enough so he can resume his life as it once was.

3.1. Glad I went even though I was not wanting to go. I'm encouraged the intervals have really been making my easy pace faster. I want easy down a little more before I start building distance again at that pace. Still the speed is coming back and significant gain on what feels easy.

It it was hot too. Friday I was in fleece running shirt, fleece head band and running pants. Today shorts and sports bra. Just weird temp swings.

11miles with 3x2 miles at half marathon pace on moderately frozen roads. 

That's a solid workout, race coming up?
