An interesting week, but nothing too crazy (other than the mileage). Tuesday went better than expected, I thought I'd be lucky to average under 6 min/mi for the 600s, so I was happy to see that. I felt surprisingly good Thursday, nothing crazy, just good. Friday I didn't feel too hot, it also just snowed so footing was iffy going fast, which made the hills feel even harder, but my legs also just didn't want to move in general. I felt very good today on the long run, I only planned on going 15 miles (ran 8 in the morning because I didn't think I would make 16 in 2 hours), but I felt good and just went an hour out and came back faster. Really surprised to feel my best on the last day of the week, but I think yesterday only being 13.75 miles helped with that.
ShilohDoesntCare - Thanks for the support
ElGuerroujFan - True, but I don't run very hilly routes or on uneven terrain (except the side of the road, but that's not everyday), I think the treadmill is basically just a soft surface when running this much.
fan of Nenow - I get what you're saying, but I feel like I can handle this amount of running, maybe you'll be saying I told you so later though. If I dropped down to 2 hours of running per day, I feel like I wouldn't be getting much out of it now, which I know isn't true, I'd just have to pick up the pace a bit, but then I'm basically just doing something different from what I set out to do.
HRE - Thanks!
TheFastestSlow - I think it went well, what do you think?
