Main Page | Taining log | Stats | Jed's Story

First of all the purpose of me putting up my training log is not to show-off that I can run alot of miles, or to be criticized for not running enough (although input as to others methods of training are appreciated).  I am just doing this becuase I have read some of the really good runners training logs, and I really enjoy reading them.  I suppose that I am not a model to follow, since I am a medeocre at BEST runner, but I think some will like to read it anyways, and besides, it will help keep me honest.     May 13th - 6.5 miles Ran 45 easy, got one last meet this weekend and then I can start the summer training.   May 6th - May 12th nothing special, just junk miles really, we had conference and I ran a 33:06 and a 15:46, so not a bad weekend. Week - 50.5 miles 6 runs May 5th - 0 miles Took the day off May 4th - 7.5 miles 6 x 400 in 63, 62, 62, 63, 63, 62, with a 3 mile warm up and 3 mile cool down. May 3rd - 7 miles 47 with Doug, Nate, AC, Skov, and DK.  It was an easy run, but my legs are still feeling a little tired. May 2nd - 8.5 miles Ran for 55 min with a bunch of guys. May 1st - 10.5 miles p.m. Ran 6 x 1000 with 2 minutes rest, except on the last one where I got one minute.  Ran 3:15, 3:16, 3:11, 3:09, 3:06, 3:00, then ran 2 x 200 in 28.  Got a 3 mile warm up and cool down.  The workout was pretty easy, and I was running good times, I think I am ready to really run a good race. April 30th - 6.5 miles p.m. Ran easy with AC, Nate, Matt and DK.  Took us like 45 minutes. April 29th - 11 miles p.m. Ran an easy 35:10 out (maybe 6:30 pace) then ran the same thing back in 31:15.  11 may be a little high, but since I figure most everything else out at 7:00 pace I think I can over estimate a 400 here and there.   The Weeks of April 15th - April 28th pretty unclear about my milage, I got in about 60 or so each week.  Ran a few mediocre races.   Week - 33.1 miles in 5 runs April 14th - 0 miles April 13th - 5.1 miles p.m. 2 mile warm up, 15:44 5k, not too bad a time.  My knee is really bothering me. April 12th - 6 miles a.m. Meet tomarrow, easy six in the morn. April 11th - 6 miles This was pretty dissapointing, me, nate and AC thought this would be about nine, but true to nates course mapping skills it turned out short. April 10th - 8 miles Three mile warm up, 4x800, 2:33, 2:27,2:27,2:31, it was pretty windy, but I didnt really feel better from yesterday. April 9th - 0 miles Got a pretty bad case of the flu and couldnt run. April 8th - 8 miles Two mile warm up, 4x mile with 2 min recovery, 5:09, 5:06, 5:04, 5:04, had a side cramp for the last two.  Two mile cool down. Week - 61.5 miles in 8 runs April 7th - 0 miles thought I should take it easy on my knee, I think it is an old injury, so I know how to treat it. April 6th - 8 miles a.m. Three to the high school, 8x400 in about 64 with 3 min rest, then 3 home.  My knee felt better. April 5th - 10 miles p.m. 10 with matt, doug, jed, adam and little lando.  My knee was hurting pretty bad during the run and all that night. April 4th - 9.5 miles p.m. Nothing special, just an easy 9.5. April 3rd - 6 miles p.m., 6 miles p.p.m. Ran over to the high school to do my 1200's, but I hadnt eaten in like 8 hours, and just couldnt do it.  Just ran back, but later on about 9:30 I got the urge to do a little more so I went out and ran another 6 at about 5:45 pace, felt really good. April 2nd - 4 miles a.m., 7 miles p.m. I was planning on going farther at nite, but I had to crap pretty bad, and I couldnt make it any farther.  Stomach has been bothering me alot on runs latley, probobly becuase of increased milage.  Both runs were pretty easy, maybe a little under 7 min pace. April 1st - 11 miles p.m. It sucks to wake up in the morning and get to class and already be four miles behind for the week.  I wanted to get a ton of miles in this week, but I have a ton of homework, we shall see.  Ran with Adam, Doug and Jeff today, went easy on the first half and brought it back under 6 min pace, felt good.   Week - 66 miles in 8 runs March 31st  - 8 miles a.m. Had to get up early today to run, just ran an easy run.  Got hissed at by a gopher, and when I was running away from it I tripped in it's hole, that kinda sucked, otherwise uneventful March 30th - 14 miles a.m./p.m. Went to Purdue yet again. Got a two mile cool down, ran the 10K in 33:38 or so, then got an easy six mile cool down in.  I have tons of room to improve in the 10K. March 29th - 7 miles p.m. Went to the Purdue meet and found out it was cancled, kinda pissed about that but there was nothing I could do about it.  When I got back I just got an easy 7 in 48 min, my weekly milage is all screwed up, I will see what I can do about that tomarrow.... March 28th - 4 miles a.m., 4 miles p.m. Ran an easy 4 both times in the morning with Skovi, alone at night went cornfield on both, my shin is hurting, it will go away in a couple days. March 27th - 8.5 miles p.m. Got a 3.5 warm up and cool down with doug, ran 3x800 with 2 min rest, 2:28, 2:26, 2:27.  It was really easy, but I have a meet in two days. March 26th - 9.5 miles p.m. Me and Skovi just ran together, wasnt too hard, about and 1 hour with a two mile pick up at 5:40 pace in the middle. March 25th - 11 miles p.m. 3.5 mile warm up, five mile tempo run at 5:30 to 5:35 pace, with a 5:22 last mile, felt really easy and was all by myself.  Cooled down for 2.5, had to crap on the warm up and cool down. Week - 72.5 miles in 8 runs March 24th - 8.5 miles p.m Ran an easy 8.5 with my man Doug, my legs were starting to hurt after all the miles I have been putting in. March 23rd - 13 miles a.m. Did an long run with Adam, Doug and Matt.  Felt good for the first 1:15, then I got really dizzy and felt terrible.  Didn't eat much the night before, and nothing the morning of, I tink I just ran out of gas. March 22nd - 7 miles p.m. Got in 2.5 warm up then did 8x200 continuous in 28, 28, 29, 27, 31, 32, 31, 31.  On the last four I shortened the rest, got in 4.5 cool down with Adam and Jeff. March 21st - 10 miles p.m. Nothing special, just 10. March 20th - 11 miles p.m. Three mile warm up, then 10x400m with 3 min rest.  The first four were 65-66, then 67, 67, 66, 66.  It was pretty hard, lost focus on the 67's, but ran well on the last two all alone.  Ran a medium paced mile after in 5:22, didnt feel all that hard, but it wasnt easy either.  2.5 mile cool down, ran in between the 400's to get the rest of the mileage. March 19th - 4 miles a.m., 7 p.m. Just what it says, nothing great.  Was going pretty easy on both. March 18th - 11 miles p.m. Back at school.  3.5 mile warm up, 4xMile, 4:55, 4:56, 4:53, 4:48 (course was about 10 seconds fast), 3.5 mile cool down. Week - 51 Miles, 6 runs March 17th - 0 miles Wasn't feeling well, should have got a few in at least though, feel like a big baby. March 16th - 13 miles a.m. Ran with Andy (North Central Runner) on a 13 miler.  We are both idiots and can't control ourselfs when we run together so we ended up running about 6:05 pace for this, it hurt pretty bad. March 15th - 7.5 miles p.m. Me and Jeff (Jacobs) ran a workout together, and by together I mean he started 10 seconds behind me on each one and then pounded me into the ground.  2x400-66,67 (course = 2 sec. slow), 4x800 2:28, 2:36, 2:26, 2:28, then a mile in 5:18.  Everytime I run with Jeff my workouts are bad becuase he kills me all week. March 14th - 8.5 miles p.m. Did this at easy pace for running with Jeff, so that means at 5:55 pace. March 13th - 10 miles p.m. Ran a pretty hard ten miles with Jeff and Karl (both olympic trials qualifiers).  Ran it in about 58 min, with a 5:20 last mile, it was a really good run. March 12th - 5 miles p.m. I had a stupid dentist appointment that screwed my whole day up (probobly becuase I slept through it and then had to go in later) so I only got in 5 by myself. March 11th - 7 miles p.m. Ran easy with Nate, have to get a root canal in a little bit. Week Before got in 70 or 75.
