Post all dates, scores and completed fouls to comments.

*Unless otherwise noted, each workout demands maximal focus and intensity from the start. That is, beginning with the first interval, or start of a time trial or tempo/stamina workout, you are expected to be at your best and fastest. Getting faster as the workout goes on, as noted by improving interval or split times, will not benefit you and is not in keeping with this program’s aims. “Fouls” are penalties for unsustained efforts and should be avoided by making the ultimate commitment to each undertaking. If you foul, your penalty is to be completed at the conclusion of the endurance workout.

    #151 9/12 — 6:06, 1:30, 1:29 — this may sound strange, but I was nervous about this workout because I hadn’t run a clean mile since the mile/800m/400m/200m WOD a few months ago. That feeling may have motivated me because my fastest mile until today was 6:27 (if I’m remembering right). Next stop sub 6 mins . . .

    #151 9/13 @ Banneker: 7:06, 1:39, 1:35

    I am really happy with this. It’s a second faster than the mile I did in a WOD in July and I didn’t have anyone to chase (although I did have to dodge the Howard softball team who didn’t seem to want to clear a lane for me).

    #151 on treadmill: 7:52; 2:01; 2:05

    Super disappointed, felt really slow and had a very hard time keeping pace. 3 months off running and then BAM Murph and Nancy (both went really badly) have really hurt my running speed and endurance. Going to be a long road back.

    Foul: instead of the 1′ squat I decided to try a max hold to see what I need to do for the test in January (and out of self-punishment kind of for being a shitty runner). I made it to 8:20 but I don’t think my back was straight for the last couple minutes.

    #152 9/14: 5.73km

    I’m pretty happy with this. I ran the 5k a full minute faster than my last one–so that would be my first sub-26 5k if I had stopped there. Averaged a 5:14/km pace.

    #152 9/15 — 4.07 miles (pace for first 15 minutes was ~7:37, for last 15 minutes ~7:07). I was annoyed that I didn’t have time to squeeze this in yesterday and ran today when I was supposed to rest, but the run felt good.
