Did that week go by super fast or was it just me? Adding to the mix, it’s now August and I’m only 4 weeks out from running the Blue Ridge Relay!
Strava Stats – Jul 29, 2024 – August 4, 2024
- 36.9 miles ran
- 8h 29m time on feet

Workouts & Run Recap:
- Mon: Rest day.
- Tue: 1hr 2mins – Intervals and tempo work. Not bad if I say so! I was a little gassed towards end as expected, the weather was: 70º but 95% humidity.
- Wed: 50 mins – RPE 5. Not too bad but woke up at 2am, then again at 4! Stopped fighting it and was out the door at 4:30. Temp and humidity went back up vs day before. bleh. 🙁
- Thur: 60 mins: Not bad. icky weather. but slept rather well, didnt wake up at 2am!
- Fri: 45 mins – Easy day!
- Sat: 2hrs:24 min – Long run. Went out to the ATT (American Tobacco Trail) from my house and back. Coach assignment would have me do 10 miles total but that pace was hard to do – i.e. really slow! That said, I did 12miles! Whoops! Oh.. and I should have brought out some more food as my energy was a bit gone towards the end.
- Sun: 45mins: Joined up with TUFF run club at Umstead for SFR (Sunday Fun Run). Out and back on some single track. Good times!
Overall Recap:
I finally ordered new shoes on Wednesday. Went with the Topo Specter and the they got here Friday, just in time to use for long run on Saturday. Did 12 miles on them and first impressions are pretty good. I’ll have a full review after a few more runs with them. I am also 100% sending the Brooks Ghost 15’s back but will prob grab a pair of Brooks Glycerin 20’s as I really want to have a 2nd shoe in the rotation moving forward.
Oh.. I did also get 2 weight workouts in. They were short and light overall, but they happened! 🙂
