Day 19:
Ran in 13:49.
Got home late from class and there was a football game going on at the track where I run. So, I had to run alongside the road. I was aiming for 2 miles but I think it wasn’t quite that far.
Carter,
Good run. I ran today too and wondered if you ever use a heart rate monitor and tried doing some fartlek workouts?
Ask your Dad about them since he seems like a long distance runner. Anyways, these are only suggestions.

Day 45:
I bought the Total Immersion book and began practicing drills at the pool today.
Today’s running:
I switched it up a bit today. I’m trying to improve my 2 mile to 12 minutes by the end of the year. Alwyn Cosgrove’s endurance article at his website is where I got this new routine.
It’s basically training to run faster and not just being able to keep going. You divide the distance that you want to run by 3 or 4 and do that number of sets, resting enough time to recover in between. You improve your endurance by decreasing your rest time each week.
Today’s running looked like this:
Set 1- 2:57
Rest 2:40
Set 2 - 3:06
Rest 2:40
Set 3 - 3:25
Rest 2:40
Set 4 - 3:33
Total time = 13:01
Day 46:
Speed Bench: 8 x 3 @195
Speed Box Squat: 8 x 2 @ 235

I only rested 40 seconds on the power cleans because the gym was closing and I had to hurry.
