Did a 4 mile tempo after work on Wasatch with James. It was an out and back tempo, 2 each way for the mathematically impaired.

1	5:46.3	1.00	5:46
2	5:48.1	1.00	5:48
3	5:44.6	1.00	5:45
4	5:45.6	1.00	5:46

Pretty consistent effort. Probably as good as I could hope for after a higher mileage day yesterday. Almost made it under 23 minutes. Did a 2 mile warmup and cool down.

Also, I got a print out for my blood labs back today. I figure someone on the blog will know if the following are healthy measurements for a runner. What else should I look for? I know the first two measurements are important but not sure about the rest.

Hemoglobin 17.0 g/dL

Hematocrit 47.8%

MCV 85 fL

MCH 30.4 pg

MCHC 35.6 g/dL

RDW 12.6%

Weight: 0.00

Nice workout and a nice week overall.

Look at my post from 8-17-2012. I included the reference ranges for elite endurance athletes.

Thanks Jake! I looked through about 4 months of your blog and couldn't find it. Gave up too early :)

You killed that tempo! Now that you posted your splits people will understand why I said I ran 8 miles "behind Adam."
