I will be using this blog to schedule group runs, seminars, and workouts for all my athletes and other people interested in doing the ultra. I will also be using this blog to document my training for the 2010 Vermont 100 Mile Ultramarathon. For official articles, please visit my other blog at http://coachjoegold.blogspot.com.

February 16 - 10 Mile Run - Getting Tougher...And Faster

AM Workout:

KEY WORKOUT - 10 Mile Run - Zone 2 Intense Aerobic

Course: Richmond Avenue (slightly hilly)
Total Time: 1:24:34 (8:27 min/mile pace}
Temperature - 32F
Weather: Wintry Mix, sloppy conditions

I originally was going to do 8 easy miles today, but with wind and cooler temps in the forecast tomorrow, I decided I was well enough to go harder and longer today. The arm felt stiff but a tad better than yesterday, so I went for it.

Despite the sloppy conditions of the streets and sidewalks with slush and snow, I did very well here. Going sub 8:30 per mile in these conditions wearing heavy layers is definitely acceptable. The run did exhaust me a bit, so I'll be going easy the rest of today and all day tomorrow.

Key Workout #2 of 4 done. I'm relaxing now...no, really! :-)
