I got up before 5 a.m. and ran 6 easy miles @ 9:46/mi. with my friend Nati and a bunch of her friends. So nice to have the day's workout done before the sun comes up! No angst about when I am going to squeeze it in. Yesterday, I did intervals - a new workout I got from "Brain Training For Runners" by Matt Fitzgerald. It was mixed intervals starting longer and slower and getting shorter and faster as follows: 1 mi w/u; 3K at half marathon pace (8:50); 2K at 10K pace (8:26); 1K at 5K pace (8:06) and 800m at 3K pace (7:57), with 90 second rest intervals and 1 mi c/d.
Tomorrow is tempo - 8 mi at Half pace if I'm feelin' it. If not, Marathon pace.
I am a commercial litigator, husband and father of two, living and working in Miami, Florida, who has become a passionate amateur runner and triathlete. This blog is about the nitty gritty details - race reports, training, gear, nutrition, and cross-training. The title comes from my sons' reaction to a video my wife took of me finishing my first half marathon - "Daddy Running!" It has been a pleasure to set an example of an active lifestyle for them, and to be cheered on by them.
