Total of 10.5 miles today. Ran a fartlek run of 1min, 2min, 3min, 4min, 4min, 3min, 2min, 1min with equal rest periods between. The fast pace was between 5:30 to 5:45 pace with easy pace at 7:30 pace. Decent workout today but legs still feeling high mileage.

Solid workouts lately, especially considering the increased mileage (and lots of work hours!). Keep it up man!!

Thanks Jake. I have not felt great but have just focused on sticking to the plan. Three weeks until goal race. It looks like you are recovering well from your marathon.
