AM Decided to follow what I had planned the night before and went to the D-News Course to run today. Started at the six mile mark at the East Canyon/ Little mountain junction and ran up Little mountain, up the pine crest turn around then down Emigration to the 18 mile mark on Wasatch. Was nervous about all the down hill and didn't want to beat my legs up too much so the plan was to just lean and try to save the legs, but that is hard to do on this course. Pushed some on the flatter stretches and overall it seems the mile markers came very quickly. Tons of bikers out. 12 miles total 1:24.12 so not too fast and the uphill for the first 1.5 or so miles does slow the average pace. Hit the first 90 mile week for a long time. So two weeks into my training I am happy about hitting my mileage goal. Just planning to work on aerobic base stuff with very little if any real speed work. |
