Threshold work

Workout today was 3 mile warmup, 6x 2k descending, with 1/2 mile quicker than a jog jogs, cooldown. I wanted to be +/- HMP on these and executed it well although the last one was tougher than I thought it was going to be. Splits were 7:00, 6:57, 6:55, 6:50, 6:43, 6:37. The jogs were all ~7:20 pace. I'm happy with this one, it was one that made the pancakes after very tasty :). <6 weeks to go and I feel like it's all coming together. 6:23

Met an awesome crew this morning, Fritz, Matt, Scott, Zak, Toni, and Bryce. I warmed up a mile before we started. The plan was 10 up and 10 tempo. I knew the 10 would be a push for me so I thought about going 8. We ran the first 10 quick, especially up south fork, it was so much fun. At the turn around we got situated and then it was time. It was fun to watch Fritz, Matt, Zak, and Scott tear off. My first mile was 5:22 & they were gone lol. I started to feel it around mile 6 so I stopped and took a GU and some water. i finished the 8 with a weak final mile in 45:57 (5:45 avg), and jogged in the rest with Fritz and Scott. Fun morning. Such a great benefit to have these guys pull me around :). It's not quite what I wanted today but it's still a great workout to punctuate a big week, thankful. 6:29
