Luke Beauchamp's training log

Today I did a hill workout of 10x400 repeats uphill with the rest of jogging back down the hill. My GPS watch was out so I measured by jogging downhill from the top at 7-ish mile pace for 1:45. My results were intervals that were a little bit short. I alternated between a gradual-moderate hill and a nasty one. I averaged 62 seconds up the gradual one and 71 up the very steep one. Not sure what speed I was going but it felt very good,

Was quite sore today from extended leg work and hill workout from Monday. Ran easy .6 to the trail where I ran 4.8 miles at 6:20 pace and then easy .6 back to the house up the hill. I measured the hills with my GPS watch today. I was going 71 second pace up the moderate-gradual hill and 78 up the nasty steep one, which is good considering hills have always been a battle for me. I am feeling the difference my leg strengthening is making. This injury has been a blessing in disguise, as I never would have met my miracle working PT Richard without it. I feel my PT sessions have significantly improved my speed and durability and are continuing to rapidly develop me as a runner.

6 miles with Dante. Tempo run tomorrow morning. I am now back to morning runs, but thankfully practices will start becoming evening runs next week. I'm excited to see how I can do as I know it will be a step up given the runs that I did in Vermont. I'm very thankful that I've been performing so well despite being very low mileage and recovering from injury for most of the Summer.

Tempo run this morning with the crew. 4x5 minute intervals with 1 minute rest in between. I felt wonderful and outperformed what I did in previous years in this same workout.

Easy 3 mile with the crew, followed up with swim, lifting, abs, and leg strength.

8 mile long run and then road trip with my family. I did leg strengthening when I got back.
