After the Turkey Trot, I had decided that I needed to add a few weeks of speedwork to my schedule in the marathon buildup. With this five week block, I'll get some intensity in, but I'll be done before my biggest mileage weeks in the marathon program, so there won't be competing physiological goals. I don't have a track, and I doubt that I need highly structured intervals, so today was some fartlek.
Fartlek is fun. This wasn't as unstructured as a true fartlek session, but instead I just opened things up for a few minutes, then recovered for a bit. Rinse, and repeat. Loads of fun. It always feels good to let the legs go for a while. I got some time at a higher zone, and stretched out my stride. I really believe this will payoff come January.
Run: 8 miles w/ 6x5 minutes @ 5-10k pace, 3 minute recovery
