Tuesday I raced the Atlanta Track Club Wingfoot Mile.

I was slower than last year but better than I was expecting given I haven’t run hard in several weeks.

In my Phase 3 post, I mentioned I was on a running break due to some hip adductor/flexor tightness. I’ve been back to running now for about a week.

Unfortunately, there’s not enough time to doing any strategic training for the Wingfoot Mile.

Yesterday began phase three of my training plan for the Atlanta Track Club Wingfoot Mile.

Phase two did not go well. I’m currently sidelined letting my hip adductor/flexor thing heal up, so at the moment training = not running.

Yesterday began phase two of my training plan for the Atlanta Track Club Wingfoot Mile.

Phase one had some bumps, but I’m moving into phase two optimistic (or stubborn).

Now that Steve’s Surprise Birthday Marathon is over, I can publish my race calendar for the year.

I plan to peak for the Big Beach Half Marathon (already done), Wingfoot Mile, and Turkey Strut.

Wednesday I raced the Atlanta Track Club Grand Prix Cross Country 5k.

Even though I faded hard on the third mile, my strategy for that mile was just to “hold on.” I hit my strategy on the first two miles, so technically I hit my strategy for the whole race.

Friday started the fourth and final phase of my training cycle targeting the Atlanta Track Club’s Grand Prix Cross Country 5k.

Taper week gets a little weird with both the Winship 5k and the start of Biketober, but I have a plan.
