April 2008 Training

As I am sure some of you have noticed, I have been less than quick on updating my blog in the last few...months...but I am here now to set the record straight. I will add three posts with my April, May, and June training.

In April, I continued slogging through outdoor track season dropping my 10000m PR to 32:50 and my 5000m PR to 15:58. (Though the 5000m PR would drop again in May) My training consisted of an average of 70 to 80 miles a week and about 10 to 13 hours a week of training. In this month most of my speed workouts were centered around 400m and 800m reps. at 5k race pace - a workout I have come to enjoy a lot and still use in my marathon training today. WE drifted away from anaerobic threshold centered workouts because of the quickly approaching end of the track season, and because my ANT zone seems to be very well developed at this point.

Totals for month:
315 Miles
40:00 Hours

Year to date:
988 Miles
184:30 Hours
