Weekly Mileage September 5-11

Sun: 10.6/50:42/4:46/BF Good BF run with no blistering. Feels good that I can do this sort of recovery run after a long run, legs are definitely getting stronger.
Mon: 13.5/1:06:07/4:53/Evo Very stiff legs to begin with and felt pretty tired throughout. Tough run, and almost no breeze until the last few km. Hoping to do the long route home from work tomorrow, hopefully my legs will recover a lot by then.
Tue: 17.6/1:24:25/4:47/VFF Felt much better than yesterday, thankfully. Timed my splits for the middle and last 5K, and they were pretty good at 23:38/23:49 considering I wasn't trying to push. My default pace is definitely coming down. Strap on my right VFF is almost completely shredded now, so it felt a little loose, but I think they can be used with no straps when they both come off.
Wed: Rest (Typhoon!)
Thu: 13.5/59:24/4:24/Evo Decided to do a tempo run since I took yesterday off. Got off to a pretty fast start, probably faster than I should have before getting warmed up, and started to get some of the old pain behind my right knee. I backed off a bit, and it subsided a bit, and was there but not bad for the rest of the run. The typhoon totally cooled things off which was great. Got to the 10K mark at 44:20. Legs feel fine now.
Fri: Bike 33K
Sat: 30/2:22:01/4:44/MWV Was really exhausted today and my back has been bothering me, so I wasn't sure how well the run was going to go, but felt good from the start, so decided to go for it. Glad to finally get in a 30K run! Overall was very comfortable for the whole run, and felt like I was moving at a good pace. Some random splits: 11k 50:54/21K 1:43:06/26K 2:06:42, basically slowed a little in the middle, but then picked it up a bit. Only really felt tired the last 2-3K. Tried a couple of gel packs, one from Power Bar, can't remember the other, but they were disgusting, felt like sucking down a tube of toothpaste. I'll be sticking with real food from now on. Stopped for water 5 times. Got home and felt really sick to my stomach for about 15 min, I guess it was just energy depletion.

Total Mileage: 85.2 Great! Two over 80K weeks in a row. I am exhausted, but legs feel good!
