AM - 11 miles. Threshold efforts of 3-2-1 miles with 1/4 mile jog in between. My garmin deleted the workout, but luckily I can remember splits pretty well - 15:27, 9:56, 4:52. Close enough, its not like the watch is 100% accurate anyways. More about the effort level on this workout... its a twist on the old standard "15-10-5 minute" we would do in college. Keeping the rest short is the key on this one. I felt good and was going to extend the workout but decided that I met the goal for the morning so there was no point in pushing it too hard... especially after a solid bowling performance yesterday. I saw Andrea just after I finished the last effort and I ran a few miles with her for a cooldown.

PM - 7 miles. Met Andrea at SHP and did a bunch of easy laps on the grass.

Very nice Jake. Yeah, that's not much rest and makes for a great workout. You kept getting faster too which is a great sign!

Wow awesome workout, Jake! 1/4 mile recovery in between is not much at all. Very impressive especially coming off of a stellar bowling performance yesterday. :)

Very impressive workout this morning Jake. You are getting some great training in. I can't wait to see what you can do at the US Half Marathon Champs.

I takes me at least a month to recover from bowling, so props to you on a great workout today! :)

I may have to steal this workout sometime soon.

RAD - its a good workout, mentally a bit easier to break it into segments. 4-3-2-1 is a great twist on this to do during a marathon buildup. 4-3 @ MP, then 2-1 faster.

I like your tattoo placement, but I really feel a full face tattoo would be the best. shave the eyebrows and the middle portion is the bridge of the nose. That would be badass.

Nothing would say "I ran two 4 miles legs then sat it a van for 22 hours" better than that

Hey it's three legs, so add another stately three miles.

Great day of training Jake! Your morning workout was impressive. Do you feel like you're getting faster at the short distances?

From Jake K on Tue, May 22, 2012 at 07:56:18 from 155.100.226.54

Well, I'm running a one-mile in 12 days, so we'll find out for sure at that point :-)

I feel like I'm on the right path towards unlocking those faster gears... I wish I had another 4-6 weeks, though.
