*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.

    10K: 49:34 (7:59 pace)

    This is a PR–barely. I ran 49:45 at the Marine Corps 10k.

    The first 5k was definitely faster than the second 5k and felt great. (I’m pretty sure I ran the first 5k faster than my 5k PR.) My knee/IT band/whatever it is felt a little tight from about 5-7.5k and then it loosened up, and if I got caught at a traffic light it would hurt a bit when I started up again before it loosened up and I didn’t feel it any more. Once I finished the 10k it definitely hurt/tightened up for about 10 minutes. Feels pretty much okay now.

    # 182 sub: 5k row; 24:08

    Can definitely tell I haven’t rowed for distance in three months. Ouch! Lost about a minute in the last 1K messing with the straps since I was taking a lot of the pull in my calves, but then decided to just finish it and recover later. And my back was sore. I guess this row was more about the journey than the destination.
