3/23- 2.5 miles on Lakeshore in 22:27 (8:59 pace). Pleased with this but it took just about all I had. I likely can hold a sub-2 pace for 5K but another 10 miles looks insurmountable. Added a cool.
Pleased with my progress. I will not increase my dosage.
Distance-3.0
3/24- Had nothing today and it was probably caffeine withdrawal. 1 cheat day is allowed but not 2. Hmm? I took caffeine later to see if the symptoms would ease. It actually made things worse. Tomorrow may be worse. The only thing that helped was extra pills
Distance-1.0
3/25- 2 miles in 20:52 (10:26 pace). UGLY! At least it was an improvement over yesterday. Heavy and sore with shortness of breath but the pacing was decent (10:23-10:29).
Distance-2.0
3/26- Repeated the 2 mile distance and my time is down to 19:36 (9:48 pace) with a negative split (9:55-9:41). More power in the legs but cardio is still weak. Solid improvement over yesterday but still above the Mendoza line.
Distance-2.0
3/27- Below the Mendoza line. Improved to 18:56 (9:28 pace). Splits were 9:36-9:20. Started slowly again. Half mile split was only 4:56 but the pace was a steady 9:20 after that point. I'll take it. Next week, I will extend my daily run to 3 miles.
Distance-2.0
3/28- 5 miles on Lakeshore in 54:46 (10:57 pace). Main goal was to finish. I don't think I've gone longer than 3 so far this year so I am pleased with the finish. I did expect my pace to be about 30 ticks faster. 1st half-26:30, 2nd half- 28:16. Really slow in 3-4 but did have a little in the tank at the end.
Distance-5.0
3/29- Planned rest day. I deserve it.
15 miles
