Week 6, full volume almost here. Continue to adjust paces for heat and humidity, and two aerobic threshold runs (aka Ae T or easy tempo) for both Tue and Fri. The rest of your running for the week remains easy, 60-65%.
For those on the weighted strength & conditioning schedule, time to add weight and go heavier. Drop the reps to the 4-6 rep range and shoot for 50-100% of your bodyweight. Start conservatively. When you can handle 6-8 reps, time to add 5-10 lbs. For those on the bodyweight schedule, continue to build total reps.
Thursday is an important day, whether 6-8 x 60-80m hill sprints or fast strides, don't neglect this day.
In preparation for the next phase of training, look for an approximately 200m long hill, on the order of Tech Parkway. Not too steep to change running form. Just a gradual rise to work against gravity.

36 miles this week. Worked 55 hours this week, all outside and clocked in at 3 AM on Friday and Saturday. One of the hardest weeks of my life and I’m still exhausted. Excited to rest up and get back to real training.

First tempo was rough because it was sandwiched between 2 long driving days, but did my best to adjust. Second went well and a lot more smooth. Strength circuits post workout are coming along nicely and I’m recovering between everything really well.
Jackson, Wyoming all the way to Sequoia National Park in California, split between 2 driving days. Here in Cali for a while now.
