Age is just a number.

Ran 8x2 min pickups at 1mi-2mi race pace effort with 2 min recovery. Nice weather today on the trail. 8 mi total. Good VO2 max workout.

10 easy recovery miles on the Jordan River trail. 65-70% mhr. Beautiful Christmas morning!

Ran 10 mi today on the indoor track. 70-80% mhr. 3 mi up to 85% mhr. 1 mi easy cooldown. Could not get accurate splits. Track was like running in a shoe box!

10 easy mi around Draper and Sandy bench area. 70-75% mhr. Very windy today, but relatively mild temp.

10 mi with 4mi at MAP 2 mi cooldown. Sandy- Draper area.

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.
