Holbrook Runner

AM core workout. 40 reps each.

PM 8.08. 1:20:08 9:55 pace. 9:42,9:47, 10:25, 10:00, 9:46, 9:16, 10:18, and 10:06. Started comfortable and then slowed going up[hill. Purposefully tried to fun mile 6 as fast as I could. At turn around Mike 4 encountered headwind. After 6th mile just relaxed. 7th is up again and then 8 is mostly flat.

PM treadmill. 37.04. 9:15 pace. Ran 9:13 pace most of the time.

Not happy with program right now. Logged in and gave a detailed report just to have it all wiped out i guess because i took too long to type. Not happy with the run but it was better than several at different points of the run. Felt sick most of run.

PM run. 1:19:31. 9:51 overall pace. Tried to stay close to 10 min miles. Was pretty sore to start. Ran 10:04, 9:51, 10:24, 10:16, 9:33, 9:44, 9:31, 9:27 and some change. Seems like i can't run early on Monday after my Saturday and Sunday each week. First half has mostly uphill and second half was more down. About a 120 foot overall change but mostly in short distances.

AM core workout. Everything times 40. Also did some leg lifts and stretching. Too much to do later to run today unless it is late tonight.

Slow run. 32 degrees out. 1:23:11. 10:20 pace. 10:44, 10:09, 10:28, 10:22, 10:08, 10:01, 10:24, and 10:19 plus. Stomach problems this morning.

Legs are tired. 1:25:34. 10:36 pace.all miles 10:18 to 10:49. Not sure if i should run 16 tomorrow. I have had a lot of hours on my feet this week.

Was worried about running today because my legs have been dead all week. Wind was also blowing this morning.

First 8 were 9:47, 10:18, 9:36, 9:26, 9:47, 9:22, 9:46, and 9:53. At 2.5 I started doing minute long pickups with 2 minute pace running in between. I think that helped me but I had too much on my mind and could not stay focused so I wasn't consistent. Multidirectional wind was blowing as well.

Turned around at 8 and felt the wind more. Starting at 9 splits were 9:42, 9:34, 10:05, 10:03, 10::06, 10:38, 10:39, and 11:02. Miles 11- 16 was pretty strong headwind. Weather app said 19 mph. At 8.5 i started doing 2 minute pickups every half mile through 13. At that point i just tried to keep a consistent pace. I was at 2:08:30 at half marathon.

Overall pace was 9:59 per mile. 2:40:31 for the 16 plus miles.

Core workout 40 times everything. High steps, pushups, squats, calves, extenders, crunches, and lunges.

1:18:02. 9:39 pace. Splits 9:49,9:23, 9:42, 9:53, 9:40, 9:37, and 9:36.

Phone app was off today. I had to run farther for it to register my miles. Sometimes happens with cloud cover.

1:02:45 total. 10:14 pace. 10:38, 9:59, 10:31, 10:04, 10:01, 10:04, 10:11 and some change. Wondering if more taper woul;s

D be better for me.

App messed up today. Went from 1.52 miles to 1.54 and then 4.25 in less than 10 steps. I knew i was right at or just past 1.5 so i will call it 1.53 at the turn around.

29:34 total time. 9:39 pace

Core everything times 40 before run.

1/2 core except lunges before the run. 20 of everything.

29:54. 9:14 pace. App is definitely messed up but verified time on watch today. Ran almost .2 further than yesterday on same route.

1/2/ core with 40 lunges after the run.

1:38:02. 9:43 pace. 9:36, 9:40, 10:03, 9:52, 9:43, 9:37, 9:45, 9:52, 9:37, and 9:20 plus last .1 at 57 seconds.

Miles 1 and 10 are mostly flat. 2-4 and 6 are slightly up and 5 and 7-9 are slightly down. Wasn't too cold. Started at 40 degrees and ended at about 45 degrees. Rolled my legs out good afterwards.

46:25. 9:10 pace. 8:47, 9:06; 9:44, 9:05, and 9:07 with 36 seconds for the .07 at the end.

Did core workout before the run. Waited until it was light out and about 40 degrees before I went running.

36:41. 9 min pace overall. Flat in the desert pm run. 65 degrees to start and ended at 62 degrees just as the sun was going down. 9:10, 8:57, 9:04, and 8:52. Wind at 10 mph out of WSW. Legs feel good.

Will do core tomorrow. Only stretch thursday and then 2 miles easy on Friday. Marathon is saturday.

Core workout.

Stretch and roll out muscles.

Caleb and Cassidy temple.

9 min overall pace. 18:41 total time. 8:47 and 9 minute miles. Stretch and roll afterwards.

1:56:11 at the half. 3:12:20 at 20 miles. 4:26:59 to end. I ran this better than i expected because i tried to stay with my brother. I was able to do that through about 14 miles and then i faded somewhat. I beat my last marathon by about 46 minutes. I beat my time from two years ago at this same marathon by @27 minutes. This was my best marathon since having open heart surgery in 2005.

Stretch and rest.
