Training log - Week ending 8/25/2019

This week was 59 miles of running, 16 "miles" of pool-running and 2000 yards of swimming -- training log is here.

Another race week.  My last few days before the USATF Road Mile matched those before the Liberty Mile, but I didn't feel as sharp and fresh going in.  I think that could be just the fatigue from travel, but I suspect that it was also the start of some marathon training fatigue.  
For my next mile, the Fifth Avenue Mile, I'm going to ease up a bit more so that I'm fresh.  I'll also be traveling up to that race the day before, so hopefully that will set me up for a good, fast race.
