Week of Aug. 10 ~ 16
71.6km / 44.5 mi.
Finally got a week over 70k, which is not a helluva lot of mileage, but is at least my target, and enough for 10K racing, with three hard workouts a week, I believe.
Monday
4:00 - 12k with 6k warmup and 6k tempo @4:45/k.
Well, "perceived effort" is what counts, right?
The humidity made it tough, and my legs were tired and heavy. Actually, I think humidity aggravates the heaviness.

Tuesday
Weight machines, core, hamstrings.
Wednesday
6:30pm - Club track workout - 15k with 7k warmup, 1000/800 x 3, 400
3:51/3:00/3:47/3:04/3:49/3:00/83
Felt good and worked hard to run with others (big group). Hot and humid, but didn't feel too bad, for some reason. Much more comfortable than the last two weeks.

Nice week and workouts Bob. Yes, definitely perceived is what counts - I see a lot of runners who strain to hit goal times, losing form and think it's a good workout if they hit goal times.
