Training Log - Friday, August 3, 2012

I met up with James and Richard for a nice road 10 miler starting at Pratt Ave and up Drake Ave and back. While the temps weren't quite as hot as in recent days, the humidity levels continue to be extremely high. We kept an easy pace, which was just fine with me after a couple of harder runs the day before. I continued to keep my training focus on mileage and training effort. While we aren't really running a hard pace, we are always making sure that there are some serious climbs or hills involved. I also continue to do hard efforts during the weekly cross country runs and the speed workouts. Overall, I believe the quality of my training has increased over previous training cycles. Hopefully, this will show in my performance during the next big event.
