My new Wednesday morning routine:
Wake 445AM, walk dog
Brief stretch
2 X 30 pushups
7 mile tempo run 10K pace +:20
4 sets of 10 pushups at mile 3, 4, 5, 6
Push hard last mile
Vomit
I think I can keep this up every week right up to my A race, even during my taper. Maybe need to increase the intensity.
Thanks to Brian Mc Nitt , Coach Adam, Drew Holmes for providing the inspiration to start.

So is that 40 Pushups at mile 3,4,5,6 each? making it 160? or is 4 sets of 10 atone each at mile 3,4,5,6 making it 40? Inquiring minds want to know!
Thanks for that question Jaview, you must be in quality assurance or something :) Its actualy one thing i have learnded so far from the 3 posts, i need to be clearer and more complete. Maybe take a little more time to allow posts to remain in draft status before pulling the publish trigger.
Anyway, it was a total of 40, or 4 sets of en, each set separated by a mile of running. Pace dropped about 5:00/mile immediately following, but i was able to pick it back up quickly.
I need to thinki about something to add in, besides push ups. maybe burpees? perhaps i could find a run course with some benches or steps and i could add plyo reps?
