54 miles. I was unable to complete my Saturday run due to some pain in my right leg. Hoping it is just general tension. Wild fires are starting to encroach a little in the Etna area so the air is quite smokey.
ReplyDelete24 miles last week. 2 7’s and 2 5’s. Beyond excited to slowly be back training. I highly recommend The Last Dance on Netflix for some MJ and the Chicago Bulls motivation.

ReplyDelete62 miles. Stellar week.
ReplyDelete8 miles last week! Very exciting to start back my runs in Colorado on the nice little trails! Except we did the long run at Mags yesterday and that was not a nice little trail. But then we met up with the Ellen Flood which made it worth it:) Otherwise I’m still keeping up my cross training and having a great time out here! Also, Gillian flies in today so excited to train with her too!!
ReplyDeleteCan’t stand this mags slander
Delete^^this is Claire
Delete53 miles last week. Ran a little bit less than what my mileage plan has because I was feeling very tired, but it was the right call. Allowed me to have a great long run yesterday, my longest one ever. Feeling good going into this week, counting down the days till we are all back on campus together!

ReplyDelete30 miles last week. Workouts have been a bit tough, but I’m super happy with my fitness level right now compared to last summer. Long run yesterday went great, first time running 8 this summer. Aiming for 35 this week.
ReplyDelete52 miles last week. Mileage is a little off because of traveling.
ReplyDeletePT and cross-training has been going well. Hoping to start the transition back into running soon. It is great to see that training is going well for so many people, looking forward to seeing everyone!
ReplyDeleteGot to start cross training and go to PT this week!
ReplyDelete17 miles-- I was hoping to hit 20 miles but the shins were not cooperating in the beginning of the week. Feeling good/strong enough to start tempo this week. 3 hours of cross training. excited to be back!
ReplyDelete63 miles. Tried to fartlek around sub 5 pace and tempo averaged around 6:10 per mile. Ran at the beach Wed and Thur which was rough. Also, think I lost my apple watch.
ReplyDelete53 miles. Feeling good.
ReplyDelete45 miles last week. Felt great on Tuesday’s run but Friday was a little harder. Looking forward to this season
ReplyDelete55 miles (fun fact: about 10x the height of Everest) Very fun long run with John and Alex (Devin was there too for a bit). Very excited to be on campus soon.
ReplyDelete66 miles. Nice to have a down week, but of course ready for the up weeks to come. I'm feeling much better than last week after getting cross-contaminated, but I'm also being mindful not to overdo it during runs. Yesterday, I did my first up week long-run mileage which was 17 miles. Helena and I met up for this Sunday excursion and as we ran there was hardly a second of silence as we chatted the whole run...so excited to be teammates! She witnessed how I learned the hard way that you shouldn't try the running gels without having water to go with it. Anyways, proud that everyone seems to be doing well both in and out of training. Let's all have another great week!
ReplyDelete55 miles, moved out of apartment and crashed at Liz Rices house for the second half of the week! Thankful that her roommates kept me accountable to going to bed early. Workouts are going well! Mostly lonely but excited to be back with everyone

ReplyDeleteAllie :)
44 miles last week! Good last week of training in Arizona. Back in Atl now :)
ReplyDelete60 miles last week! So thankful to have hit full mileage for the first time in a long time! Look forward to the next couple weeks
ReplyDelete63 miles last week! Did my down week the week before to give myself time to adjust to altitude. It was such a fun week of training, we got to do our long run at Magnolia Road which was so difficult but will hopefully make Kennesaw feel a lot easier ;) Going home tomorrow, wish I could stay in Colorado longer but I'm excited to see everyone in a few weeks!
ReplyDelete39 miles last week!
ReplyDelete45 this week. Both workouts were amazing and very comfortable. I added in some hillier routes into my runs so my calves were a little tight but overall feeling good.
ReplyDelete60 Miles last week as a little consolidation week - Tuesday substituted workout for 8 easy 30 sec hill reps jogging rest. Friday 6 mile easy tempo with group ≈6:05 pace.
ReplyDeleteGood rest week bc I ran 16 miles sunday and this week will be long. Im so burnt out of working though and am seriously looking forward to school and the season.
47 miles this week feels really good to be at a little bit higher mileage again definitely felt the jump seeing as I was sick a little last week. Was tired but ready to tackle this week head on.
ReplyDeleteI'm up to 20min runs which is cool. Loving Arizona and looking forward to seeing everyone!
ReplyDelete36 miles last week and 1 hour aqua jogging. The 2 tempos I did felt great!!!
ReplyDeleteOnly 27 miles last week, I was on track for 35 but during my long run at Kennesaw mountain with my high school team on Saturday I twisted my ankle. It hurt too bad to finish the long run and hurt on Sunday so I took both Sunday and Monday off. Happily, it was starting to feel better Monday night so I was able to do today’s workout for this week! It bothered me during the warmup but as I went on the pain subsided!
ReplyDeleteMeant to reply to Josh’s comment but same goes for all of y’all. Good luck this season, I’ll try to make it out to Berry!
ReplyDelete‘Preciate you brother!
Delete4 miles last week!! Definitely a little bit of soreness as I add in running on top of PT and cross training so trying to listen to my body and be super cautious. Excited to be coming home to atl soon :)
ReplyDelete42 miles last week + my first light tempo run. Feeling strong and beyond excited to be back on campus! 🤩
ReplyDelete32 miles. Ik I’m not at full milage yet but I still decided to go down bc I felt like I needed the rest from my slow build. Felt good. Gonna got another 38 and then move up to 42. Excited to move in.
ReplyDelete60 miles last week 53 the week before. My tempos feel very good and I’ve not had any summer before where I felt like I truly had good tempos like this. Fartleks have been a little different but they have still been good. Last week of my internship so I’m excited to get home!
ReplyDelete63 miles! Also switched my down week to this week so I could have someone to run with! Such a fun week this past week!!
ReplyDeleteThis is Katy
Delete34 mi. Solid first tempo since Covid. 4mi @~5:55. Aiming for ~ 40 this week
