Wednesday is 5k at slower than my actual race pace for a 5k. Thursday is 3-4 miles at just slower than monday pace. Friday is usually a pre-meet type workout, get everything lose and ready for saturday, but if there is no race, it is usually 3 easy miles. Then Saturday is a rest day, and it starts all over. Also on saturday is when i get a bike or swim in as to not be stationary.

Interesting to know. I should get educated about proper running rather than just belting out random distances based on my mood and DOMS levels. Do you manage any lifting or other kinds of training with a running regimen like that, though?
