PM: 1 hr. pool run

Nasty humidity. everything is covered in water and the shorts are soaked in no time. Very tired today with only 4-5 hrs of sleep. felt terrible this morning.

AM: 8 easy in the humidity

PM: 5 easy + standard core routine, stretch, foam rolling

Hopefully I get used to the humidity again quickly, because it's now marathon season. I'm less than 15 weeks out right now. The mileage will be going up, the pool running will be going up, the drinking and cookies will be going down, and I'll be tired. No more work vacations, no more holidays, just the grind.

Workout this morning. the first VO2 workout in quite awhile. My legs felt very heavy but eventually, once they were stretched out a bit, I seemed to run just fine. Eventually the volume of workouts will go up and so will my mileage, which means my splits will probably slow. Howver, it's marathon training and the interval sessions are the least important effort of the week, whereas last spring they were probably the most important.

PM: 5.5 easy + standard core routine, balance board

I forgot my shirt this morning so I could do my normal routine in the gym and had to ask the gym staff nicely to at least let me in to take a shower before work.  Cooler and less humid today. Glide boosts are about done after doing those hikes in them last week.

AM: 1.5 hour pool run

PM: 9 miles with .5 straights and curves

long pool run. 1.5 hours can take awhile going back and forth in the pool. Tired during the day, moreso than if I would have run. I'm not sure what pool running does to you but it makes you tired and hungry. I guess I should expect this going over 2.5 hrs of aerobic exercise in a day. If I would count the pool running as real running, I probably would have gone 18 miles today (10min pool running equals a mile land running)

PM: 4 miles pretty easy + alt. core routine, stretch.

tired this morning. I think the 1.5 hr pool run/9 mile run combo is the max that I can do on a recovery day.  I was fine once I got going today. That first bit of fatigue is setting in.
