10x1 minute hill repeats at 85% effort. They felt quite good even though these have typically been my weakness. Today was the first official day of practice.

Ran 6 miles with Mitch today. Fairly sore as a result of the hill workout yesterday and my recently increased leg strength routine. Our coach is also having us do hip and glute strength activities during practice so I am doing that as well. My ankle felt alright today and Mitch is running exceptionally well and is set for huge improvement.

6 miles today with Tom for the first 2 and then 4 by myself. Today I am still feeling it from the added leg work. It may take a bit to get used to. During the part where I was on my own, I felt most comfortable today at 6:25 pace. I noticed that my speed does not change in training runs whether I am going uphill, downhill, or on flat ground, whereas it used to vary heavily.

We did a bunch of slightly less than 1k repeats at Tillicum park. It was my mom's birthday and I was out bowling without my water bottle (my fault), so there was minimal hydration early in the day and I also didn't eat a lunch before practice because of the bowling. As a result my workout didn't feel too great but I stayed very consistent in my intervals even though my legs felt weak. My coach, however, said he was very happy with how I ran so I am encouraged. The team looked fast today, but the vast majority of them were totally spent after interval number 6. My coach had planned for 8 but when he saw that some of my teammates were no longer standing and that others had taken the opportunity to empty their stomachs midway through the interval, he decided to stop us. It would be hard for anyone to argue that effort was not put in today and I am proud of my team.

Did an easy 3.5 with Tom, Chris T., and Dante. I did .5 around the school and went right into a very smooth, light mile on the track just to kind of shake out my legs and work on my pacing abilities. I hit every 200 mark at 45 seconds and came in pretty much exactly as my watch turned to 6:00. There will be a time trial (in trainers as always) next week and I hope to beat my time trial best (4:40) that I did during the track season earlier this year. It's a shame I didn't get to finish my track season because that mark was way better than the 4:54 that I did in the season leading up to my PR's. However, I am running more responsibly and am confident that I will break my PR's multiple times next spring.

Bridle Trails 8 mile with Mitch today. We kept the pace honest. When I got back to the track I went right into a smooth 800 to finish off my 42 miles for the week. I have a mile time trial in my trainers next Tuesday and I aimed to run the first 600 at 6:00 pace my last 200 of the 800 at my ideal time trial pace: 34.5. However, I ended up at 5:45 pace for the first bit and finished with a 33 second 200. That was the easiest I have felt running that fast for 200 and I am encouraged.
