AM - 14.1 miles total average pace 7:13. Joined Sasha and Jeff this morning and Sasha convinced me to do 2x1.5m tempo. I was a bit hesitant as I have had two workouts in a row and was at 62 miles in three days. So the first 1.5 was fairly conservative at what felt like marathon pace. 1st 1.5 miles was 8:48 or 5:52 pace. Felt ok so I figured the second one at about the same pace would be good. The first 1/4 was a 1:23 and felt ok so I just focused on relaxing and trying not to push too hard. Second 1.5 miles was 8:28 or 5:39 pace. This felt more like threshold pace. After getting back to Sasha's I added 6 more miles on my own. Add more tonight as usual but it will be very easy.
PM - I was not very motivated to run tonight as I was pretty tired from a long day at work and the miles are adding up this week. However, after I forced myself out and got about 3 miles in to the run it was not as bad. I ran a total of 6.8 miles at 7:25 average with one with James and Jared and Jared set his new mile PR of 7:30. It looks like Jeff and Adam are going to join me for the Deer Resevoir/Provo Canyon 20 miler on Saturday. We are going to meet at the Bridal Veil Falls Parking lot at 5:45am and then carpool up to the resevoir so we can start the run by 6:00am. Any others going to join in? |
