3 months of Long Slow Distance 5K results

10/23/2011

July, August and September were 100+ miles per month of running. In July I ran a 5K in 25:40. I recently ran the Autism 5K in Lawrenceville after this period of long slow running. No speedwork of any kind. The result was a 23:04. An improvement of 2:36. I was pretty surprised my self.

My plan now is to see how many 100+ mile months that I can string together. I am hopeful that this will be the fix I needed for my run results in triathlons. Maybe next year will be my breakthrough year. The bike has been good. My swim has picked up. Get a decent run and who knows what could happen.
