04/07: 5mi - MB Wk11

PLAN: 6mi
RAN: 5mi @ 9.5-9.5-10-9.5 m/mi
LOC: LTF @ lunch
EL: 5+

Despite it being on a treadmill it was a GREAT run! I chose to do only 5 miles because...
  1. Due to running 4 miles on Mon my week total would be 28mi which is a 12% increase from last week, which I didn't even complete. I simply did not want to overwork my body.
  2. Yesterday's run was bad, I didn't want this week to get worse.
  3. I took a 2-hour lunch as is..
Even at my 'faster' pace my breathing was amazing the whole way; no cramps and nothing hurt; but I really started pushing it the last mile - it's the whole body fatigue that gets me most of the time, and that's resolved only by mental and physical training.

Schedule Modification
Wk11 is supposed to be recovery week (4-6-4-4-4=22); Wk10 was (4-5-4-4-8=25) while I only ran 13. Following the guidelines the best way to resolve this is to flip: assume Wk10 as recovery week; do Wk10 mileage during Wk11; and continuing on to Wk12 as normal. Which is exactly what I've done so far: 4-5... the only difference is the 8-miler which I should be ready for by the end of this week. Wk12 will be great as another break week with another 8-miler. Will modify on my Google Schedule.
