How low can you go before you can't turn around?
Apparently, we are running the highest mileage week that anyone on the team can remember which means 85 miles in 7 days. Granted, I am no stranger to this kind of mileage but we are hitting 85 without a true long run and with most of the miles done relatively fast.
Today, we ran 10 miles at the River in a brisk 60:30. Coach indicated that we should run "easy" right at 6:00 pace or so. In my book, 6:00 pace is not quite easy for me and, to make matters worse, I am currently combating a slight headcold and some related or unrelated stomach problems which can create a few problems during a moderate run.
Anyways, the run started out easy which made me very content until we stopped talking causing the pace to drop. After the first two miles at 6:30 or so, we began running 6:00 pace or faster. In fact, the last five miles were completed a tad under 29:00 which was just lovely.
The rest of the week calls for some intervals tomorrow, 2 easy runs on Friday, a race Saturday in Flagstaff, and a long run Sunday morning at Flagstaff.
Well, I gotta get ready for work and take the multiple supplements I have been rocking in hopes of kicking this cold.
Bear Down!

Has your team considered inserting some walk breaks?
Good luck kicking whatever is ailing you by race day. It's frightening how fast you guys go on easy days.
