New Challenge
Yesterday, I ran a 5k road race for the first time in 8 years (2003). My time was 29:07 (9:22 pace). I ran as hard as I could but could not go any faster. My leg turnover was just slow.
I'm in good shape, fitness wise because my average heartrate was only 158, compared to 171 in 2003. My mile splits were consistent: 9:17@152hr, 9:26@158hr, 9:24@162, then .1Mile in 56s@175..my max was 186 at end so that was good.
When I got back I went to Fittek to workout and ran 2 easy miles at 12:30 pace and I felt recovered, then did 20 mins of weights and 100 abs.
This race time was, if honest to myself was about what I thought I would run. Of course I wanted to run 27-28 but my leg speed just is not there.
So what to do now. Here it is: my challenge to myself is to run under 28 mins in 5 weeks at our local Mahomet 5K race on August 20...AND...lose another 20 lbs. I can do this, I have done it before.
Here's my plan:
Eating: daily = 1550 calories every day for 5 weeks
breakfast: 1 egg, 2toastw/butter, 2c milk, 1 banana = 610 calories
lunch: 1 cliff bar = 250 cal
supper: 4oz meat,2c pasta, .5c spag sauce, 1c juice+2oz vemma(liquid vegs), 1 apple = 695 cal
Running: key workouts to increase my speed
week 1 - 8x 400m @2:15 goal pace & 10 x 100meters in 28sec
week 2 - 5 x 800m @ 4:30 pace & 10 x 100m in 28 sec
week 3 - 8 x .1Mile in 48s & 2miles in 17:55 time trial
week 4 - 10 x 100m in 28 sec & 2 x 1 mile in 9:00 pace
week 5 - 5 x .1mile in 48s & 5K goal race
My other days are same as usual, 60mins easy pace w/ walk breaks. I need to take my Thursday runs a little slower. I plan to keep the 2 hour long run on weekends, thou, of course with walking breaks.
All total about 50 miles running/walking.

When healthy, I like a little speedwork, especially short bursts under 200 meters, so I've been doing 8 x 1 min with 1 min walk rest in between for the last few weeks. Today was the following:
6am- 61 mins trail run at 125 av/147 max...run 45mins, walk 15 , about 5.2miles. I ran as hard as I wanted. medium effort even though hr does not show it. very wet grass/dew.
5:30pm- at Fittek 49 mins total
warmup walk 5 mins then 1 mile in 10:26 at 124 av hr then
8 x 1 min fast at 7.1mph, 7.2, 7.3,7.4,7.5,7.6,7.7,7.5 all w/ 1 min walk rest at 4mph pace, cooldown 5 mins = 3.3 miles + 20 mins weights & 100 abs.

Clinton Lake trail and 2011-half year summary
July 3, 2011
Half year summary:
As I finished the last week of June I totaled up 1214 miles so far this year w/ 782 running miles. I am feeling like a runner for the first time in about 5-6 years. I can not relatively pain free.
Clinton Lake trail
On sunday morning I ran this trail with my son Jason. the trail is a tough hily trail but fun and beutiful run around a lake. usually in the summer the trail is over grown and bug infested but this year its being maintained in a nice wide state, so we decided to run it. last april 2 I ran it in 2:18 at 137hr av/157 max. w/ 11mins over 148hr. temp was 35-65 degrees, very nice weather.
This year it was 75-85 degrees w/94 HI(heat index) 70 dew pt. in summary hot/humid. I ran 2:08 in 140hr av/157 max w/ 37mins over my aerobic rate of 148. I walked the first 5mins then ran/walked as I felt. Jason ran the last 3 miles faster ending up under 2 hours.
I was pleased. my heartbeats per mile was 1805. compare this to my times in 2003:
11/27-1:55 at 150 =1718
11/2-1:58 at 143 = 1687
12/14-4:44 at 136 = 1931 (20M)
12/24-4:06 at 137=1685 (20)
I think when fall cooler weather comes along I might be able to go under 2 hours again w/o killing myself....IF??....I can do that and feel good I know I'm getting the point of being in good shape again.
