Half Marathon - Week 7

Weekly Total: 27.2 miles. This is the most miles I have ever run in a single week and in terms of small victories I ran the equivalent of a marathon this week.  I am finding that the speed work is really helping my aerobic capacity as the runs following it are really smooth.  I ran some sprints after my last run on Sunday on the treadmill and realized that I have the ability to go much faster than I used to.  I could probably have held the 6:40 pace for at least a half a mile if I gave it everything.  I am going to probably see if I can schedule a 5k in as I want to see if I can break 25:00 now which would be nearly 5 minutes faster than my last 5k.

Monday: Cross-training, 30 minutes of rowing.
Tuesday: 1200@10:00, 2x800@9:30, 4x200@8:45. All w/ recoveries. 4 miles.
Wednesday: 35 minutes on treadmill. 3.5 miles.
Thursday: 1:43 minutes easy. 9.2 miles.
Friday:  Cross-training, 30 minutes of rowing.
Saturday: 2x2M@10:00 w/ easy recovery. 5 miles.
Sunday:  60 minutes easy on treadmill w/ 6x200@6:40. 5.5 miles.
