So 70 minutes wasn’t hardly as long as I thought it would be. The last mile felt a little long but I finished and maintained my 10-minute-mile pace. I also figured that I probably ran the 10k (or 6.2 miles) in about an hour and two minutes. The shin splint is still bothering me and now it feels like the strain has moved into my ankle. I can’t figure out if it’s the increased mileage or just the shin splint working its way around my leg.
Anyways, this week should be pretty good since the weekday runs are pretty short. This Saturday is the longest run of the training program and I have to wake up at 6:30 in order to do it. Later that day I have some out-of-state plans so I need to take care of the run early. I’m definitely going to need a nap later. I hope the lesser runs help me rest up for the big run on Saturday. We’ll see how it goes!
Schedule for Week 6:
Monday – Run 20 minutes
Tuesday – Run 3 miles
Wednesday – Off
