I felt like ass today. Today was planning on being a 7.6, and I stopped at the 5 mile mark because my legs were just too smoked. Given that I haven't run consistently since last week, I think sustained mileage every day rather than the standard long-mid rotation may be in order. I just have to be careful since I need to start doing more strength work in the next few weeks.

Alternatively, I may go for shorter, harder runs rather than the longer runs since I think I have a fairly good handle on endurance. It's speed I'll be needing in the next few weeks.
