Thus for the past six weeks, every other week she has gone to the track and run a 1600 meter time trial. Yesterday, after a 600 meter warm up, she ran 4 X 100 meter repeats at race pace (21-22 seconds), with a 300 meter jog recovery.
As per her time trials, they started at a 7:45 mile, dropped to a 7:15 mile, and yesterday she logged a 6:41.9 mile. She followed this with several cool down loops, some stretching, and a ten minute core workout.
I think she is good for a 6:15 or maybe even a six minute mile before the end of the summer. She has clearly also gotten stronger with her once or twice a week double pole workouts on roller skis. Needless to say ... It will be a struggle for me to keep up with her in the Loppet or Canadian Ski Marathon.
