Luke Beauchamp's training log

Easy run. Moving up my mileage.

The seasonal dusting of the cobwebs occurred today. Much earlier than usual, but I saw the opportunity today because I was alone. Matthew and I did two 6:50s and he split off from me for a reason I can't remember. I started to move faster and really enjoyed the new form adjustment I'm trying to implement. I ran 6:02 for that mile. Sped up without realizing and ran 5:49. At that point I realized that today would be the dusting of the cobwebs. This influenced my next mile pretty clearly as it was the only one with zero stop lights and actually was 1/3 uphill climb with no downhill, yet it was my fastest at 5:44. Decided to slow down as I had aimed to do 5 miles and I was still out a bit from the park. Maintained a rigorous pace but I realized I could hold that pace (6:06) and recover from the faster mile I had just done. Either way, I've never been in this good of a shape so early. It was a lot of fun to move quickly again, but I need to limit myself.
