5 miles + 4 miles with 400m repeats

Tuesday:
My thighs were still rather sore, so I only ran 5 miles at pace rate. I felt tired and my legs were sore so I didn't want to push it. I was glad I did at least 5 (should have done 6 per plan). But that is what a plan is all about...being flexible and I did run 4 extra miles last Saturday - it all evens out
5 miles 46:12 9:14

Wednesday:
My thighs and legs felt normal again. I upted my 3 miler to 4 miles tonight to make up for missing that last mile last night.

I did something new, 400m faster, faster, I found this plan in a McMillian article. It says to do 4 sets but I did 5 sets to make it 4 miles.

1 set - 400 m easy pace, 400 m tempo pace, 400 m 5k pace

I did this 5 times then ended with the last .25 miles at pace. I liked it a lot! The miles went fast and I worked up a good sweat.

4 miles 34:28 8:37 pace

Now I will rest and plan to do a LR on Saturday with my friend again and his friend :)
