Another workout today brought to you by Garmin Coach. 10 min warm up, 4 X 5 minutes at 7:55 with 2 minute active recovery, then 10 minute cool down. Ran 7:33, 7:32, 7:14, 7:35 pace for the intervals, running by feel. Maybe a bit harder than prescribed but certainly manageable.
Hitting these workouts are fun but the real key is the mileage. I'm hitting 5 milers on the reg now which is not a lot but a lot more than I've been able to handle for years. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday will be taper and recovery days before Saturday's race. After that, I'm going back to base building. Might put something on the Garmin Coach calendar and let Garmin dictate the workouts for a while longer since it's been working so well.
I looked back at my training from 2019 and it seemed like things really rounded out once I started upping my long runs. I've been maxed at 8 miles for quite a while now so time to get those back into the double digits. More base building into September and then start hitting the workouts again as the weather gets cooler.
