10 mi on Jordan River trail. Easy 7-8min/mi. HR-118-132 BPM. Kind of lonely on the trail this morning, saw no one out here. I guess everyone figures that it gets to cold to train this time of year! On the other hand its like Lasse Viren would say, you must have SISU.

If you have it, you will do whatever it takes to succeed. If you do not have it,then you will just be another also ran...

Ran 10 mi through to jordan river treatment plant. Very strong wind out to the plant. Nice on the way back though. Ran fartlek surges for most of the run. Got test back from the doc. Low hematocrit. Bummer! He recommended supplements and a better diet. So instead of Costco Polish sausages I had sushi and mandarin oranges for lunch yesterday. Not bad I must say...

Ran a 2x1.5 mi. VO2 max workout on the Provo river trail near town. Sasha suggested we run this workout starting out at AT pace in order to prime the muscles and heart for a more efficient workout. I like this workout a lot because it does not let you cheat by using the anaerobic energy system a lot in the beginning. Sasha's theory is that it uses a larger aerobic component overall. This would in theory make it a more effective VO2 max workout also. I think I will test this workout in my training in order to improve my 5k PR. 2x1.5mi-7:53&7:59

Ran 6 mi easy on the treadmill in the morning. 65-70 percent mhr.

Went in the evening for 5 mi easy, 60-70 percent mhr. Neighborhood loop twice around the Sandy area. I felt that it would be wise not to do a long run this week. Will wait till next week and add some marathon pace miles to it.
