Luke Beauchamp's training log

Turns out I am running a fever. Maybe I shouldn't have run on it yesterday but I completed my weekly mileage. Not sure if there's potential for me to run tomorrow. I don't want to damage my training by running through sickness like I did during XC.

So I got sick this week and missed Monday. I am typing this from Sunday and entered my easy mileage for the day as my total from the week. Ran the 800 as I didn't think I could handle a longer distance being sick (was worried cause I bombed a workout on Wednesday). Took it out in fourth and caught up with the group in the final straightaway of the first lap. Passed the leader (Dante) at 500m and made a break, kicking hard down the final stretch. Apparently that wasn't enough as Dante came past me and won by a tenth or two. Still happy with a two second PR in my first race of the season in this condition. Dropped a 55 in the third leg of my 4x400 for my fastest quarter ever run and our team won the meet. Watched our freshmen Tom and Ben both run 4:52 for their first race, which was great. Both of those guys should be under 4:40 by the end of the season. Finished an 8 mile run on Saturday.
