Hadd Workout – 9/19/07

This is a place holder post re my workout last night. I’m not sure what it was, but it was significantly better than my two workouts last week. (Ok, it could be that I was much better rested for this workout. ) I think the numbers were: 7 miles – 6:12 pace – 166 bpm [...]

Hadd Is Back!

I’ve got lots to catch up with re my spotty Hadd workout reporting of late. For now, I’ll report on my most recent workout and reestablish an ongoing Hadd workout log. September 14Wednesday’s workout went reasonably well and was my longest Hadd workout in a while. Encouraging. The start to Frifay’s workout was not. I [...]

Update re Western States and Recovery

Following my mild panic regarding a lack of a Western States 100 qualifier noted here, I have been notified that my Laurel Highlands effort will, in fact, be recognized as a qualifying performance. :-) My legs are finally recovered. Heading out from my house yesterday, my legs felt pretty good despite some muscle soreness near [...]

Flyin' Bryon

I’ve only got time for a short post, but here goes. I’ve been short on time the past couple days, which I’ve dealt with by running hard three of those four days. I was pretty sore come Monday after running most of Sunday’s 12 mile run at a moderately quick pace. What probably got me [...]

If Only Haddn't Gone Faster

My past two workouts, I’ve not adhered to my Hadd plan. Last Tuesday I felt like crap running my sub 165 effort. After stints of two miles and one mile at 165 effort, I threw in the towel… only to do the WRC’s track workout in it’s entirety. As noted earlier, that workout was a [...]

Hadd Mini-Test 2 [Updated 7/15]

Folks, I’m just back from the track and headed out to two shindigs this evening, but this is progress. Tonight, I ran my second Hadd mini-test and while I feel that my training’s been shit, I’m improved my performance significantly with 20+ second gains at 160, 170, and 180 bpm efforts. It’s worth noting that [...]

Oh, Woe is Me, My Life Is So Hard

So after work tonight, I have to go to some swanky Asian-Latin fusion restaurant for an “optional” dinner with the other associates at The Firm. They’re all good folk and the food is sure to be great, but the weather is great, too. Truth be told, I’d rather go home and run a workout. Oh [...]

Hadd Rehash [Updated 6/25 9 a.m.]

I’m going to try something new. Every time (or nearly every time) I run a Hadd workout, I’ll write about it. That’s not so different, as I’ve already posted about a bunch of Hadd workouts. What I hope to start is to have a brief rolling summary of my previous workouts. That way, you (and [...]

Recovery

My recovery seems to be going along alright following Saturday’s outing in Pennsylvania. Here’s a day-by-day how my recovery’s gone. Sunday: 0 miles Came home to a lawn that needed mowing. Very sore while pushing the mower and feet were no happy. Legs felt a bit looser after mowing. Thought about running, but decided not [...]

Hadd Mini-Test 1

Here are the results of Hadd mini-test 1 (baseline). (doc file explaining Hadd mini-test) This test is likely slow biased. It was the first time I’ve run in real heat this year – heat index 90F+ during workout. I also ate too close to the work out and my legs were tired from the start. [...]
