Training log - week ending May 26, 2013

This week was 53.5 miles of “real running” plus 12 “miles” pool running and 2000 yards of swimming -- training log is here.  

Week 2 of project speed development.  Trying to add in 200m repeats as appropriate, plus doing drills every day I run.   I've also added in box jumps to my gym workout in an attempt to build some power.  Right now my standing jump is frankly pathetic, but even in the past week I've seen improvement in my strides and drills.  I skipped my long run on Sunday since I race another mile on Monday - we'll see how that goes.
