Still tired from the race last Saturday. 5 easy miles in the morning. Then came down to Provo to run with Sasha. We did 2x3 miles downhill in the Provo Canyon starting at Nunns park and finishing by the mouth of the canyon. This Sasha's "holy course". He trains on it all the time.

Although I was tired I still ran quite well. 15:45 for the first one with the closing mile in 5:08. We back off at bit starting out the second, but still closed in 5:08 and finished in 16:14.

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...

What supplements did he suggest? Did he offer an opinion on why your crit was low?

From Sasha Pachev on Sat, Dec 16, 2006 at 12:20:33

I could have told you that about the diet without the blood test :-)

What part of Wasatch Blvd? Sounds like a great workout.

I am taking the car in tomorrow but my wife is going with me. I had hoped to get a run in on the Jordan River trail but it looks like another day on the treadmill.

I run to the southern end from my house on State St and 114th and climb all the way past the highest point. Then I go back via Bell canyon south and west, wind around a little bit. Down to 7th east and go back towards home that way. Run a short cooldown and then crash for a while!

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.
