Moment #1

To end my top 10 moments on a new year and to have momentum going into 2017. My top moment is the STG Marathon.

This marathon was my so called "Fantasy Sport" PR. I trained all year for it and nailed some big workouts. About 4 weeks before the race I found myself really low on energy, I wasnt recovering from workouts, also couldnt complete workouts. So I talked to my running coach and we agreed that everything was going to be maintenance runs to try to get my energy back. About 1 week before the race I started feeling a little better with the hopes of a PR. Race went the best that I could've gone. Salvaged a 2 minute PR. But also feel like I left alot out on the road too. So this year the plan is to run what I know I can run in STG. This will take more miles and less racing to accomplish this goal. I'm more motivated than ever. Excited to see what this year will bring.

Ran with Taylor, Riley, Bret, Bryant, Moss, Jared and Thatcher.

Headed south for the weekend and since the weather in STG sucked I opted to wait to do my long run in Mesquite. 

Workout was a progressive long run starting at 7 min pace then every 5 miles drop 30 seconds a mile with the last 3 miles fast but controlled. 

Couple miles in I was already rolling sub 6:30 and by 5 miles I was already at 6 min/pace. So for basically 13 miles I was sub 6 or faster. 

Felt really strong. Heading to Phoenix next weekend for a rust buster half marathon. I have no idea what type of shape I am in. So just going to go off of feel and use it to gage my "A" race in the spring. Mostly excited to watch some MLB spring baseball!

Race

Headed down to Phoenix with Ken and Riley to nail a rust buster race. Weather was ideal, 39 degrees with slight tailwind. 

Headed to the start line and saw some local Utahns. Sasha, Benjamin, Mike Hardy. Then right before the race got going Ben Bruce came strolling up to the line. Which was pretty cool too actually meet him for a second. 

Gun went off and a lot of guys shot out of the gait and found myself in 10th to 11th pace! I stayed pretty conservative and gradually built into the pace that I wanted to hit for the run. Mile 1 I came through around 5:14 which was right where I wanted to be. By mile 2 I caught Benjamin and he attached on to me for the mile. Around 3.5 he was still tucked behind me. So I turned and told him he is more than welcome to draft off of me but he better hop in front for a bit and return the favor for me. He took the lead for about a half mile and then faded and I didn't see him again. 

Mile 5  Steve Chu from Colorado came up on me and we worked together until mile 8. He put in a little surge and I couldn't respond. Legs felt like they were getting tired so it seemed. Around mile 11 nothing really changed breathing and leg wise. I realized that I actually had some left in the tank.  Closed the last 2 mile in a 5:19; 5:13. Came through the finish in 6th place; 1:09:43; 5:19 avg/mile.

I am happy with the effort since I really didn't know what shape I was in. Also nice to see a sub 1:10 on an honest flat course. Really excited to start hitting the concrete phase of Half training and to improve upon this time. 

Congrats to Riley for hitting a PR. He is going to be a beast come April. Excited to see what he can do.

Thanks for the comments guys.

@Riley- Congrats on a stellar race man. So excited for your season coming up.

@Steve- You make me laugh! You are one of the reasons I kept running all these years. Always wanted to be like the original FRBs. Look up to you, Paul, Jon, Cody, Holt, Fielding. What a great group of guys!

@Jeff- Thanks so much. Helps that I have a crazy training partner that is super competitive and always expects the best out of me. Also a crazy Irish coach that blows my mind with workouts!

Northern Utah got another snow storm last night that brought icy roads this morning.

Met Riley, Dave and Jared out in Davis County. Headed to the parkway system which was actually quite warm do to the wind at our backs. But coming back North it got pretty windy and cold.

So done with this winter already. Hopefully we can see the light at the end of the tunnel soon enough. Oh wait? Light? Nevermind they are taking the light away from us this weekend as well! Stuff daylight savings!

Amen brother! Daylight savings is the worst idea ever. Not to mention it's a sham as the amount of daylight remains the same, while we mess with our biological clocks twice a year. All this just so Joe-Schmo can go 4-wheeling at 10:00 p.m. in June!

Workout|Wednesday

Met the Cookie Monster at 5:30 at Kent's market. Riley was nice enough to do my warmup with me and then go on his way with his recovery day since he worked out yesterday.

Warm up was a little over 4 miles with strides.

Workout today was 20X600 @ 10K effort. To be quite honest I was pretty anxious to do this workout. Didn't seem to hard but did at the same time.

Plan was start the workout around 5:13 pace which was my 1K average a couple weeks ago then break it down into the pace I wanted for 3/4s of the workout.

Well first rep was @ 1:51(little under 5 min/pace) so I just rolled with that the rest of the workout.

Overall for the workout I averaged 1:52; right at 5 min/pace. Workout was actually harder than I thought. Recovery was supposed to be a 1 minute jog, but it ended up being more like 20 second walk to gather myself and then 40 second jog. 

Cool down was just shy of 1.5 miles

Another great confidence booster moving forward. Glad to have another workout under my belt. Thanks Riley for the warmup and thanks Johnny Boy for the workout!

4.40 mile warm with strides

10 mile tempo run on the WRC 10 mile course. 

Had a workout that consisted of 5 at Marathon pace; 3 at half and 1 mile fast finish.

I hit the first 4 miles at pace then took the hills somewhat conservative but when the hills were done my legs never seemed to come back. Been having issues with my hip and groin and I have been losing a lot of extension when I am doing tempos. Anyway I became relaxed with the pace and settled. A little after 9 miles I decided to take a peak to see who was behind me. I realized that my gap wasn't as big as I thought so I snapped out of the easy pace and pushed the last half mile or so. 

Good solid workout. Slowest I've ran the course but it happens. Most importantly I need to find out what's going on with my hip and groin.

Hip and groin are doing a little better today. Still pretty weak though. Feels like I am about to 80% weight bearing on the right leg. Great step in the right direction. Maybe an easy high mileage week without workouts to let the muscles get some strength back. Just going to play it day by day.

Still having this hip and groin issue. Ran the first 2K at 5:20 pace and felt great, also very optimistic. During the 2nd set I started getting some tightness in my hip again which slowed me to about 5:32 average. By the middle of the 3rd set tightness in my hip radiated down to my groin and down the inner part of my leg. Called the workout. This is getting frustrating but at the same time I have done nothing to get it better. I have just been very hopeful it will start feeling better without any downtime.

I decided to Dave's workout today to test the hip/groin out. I met Dave and Moss at Kneaders then we drove my car to Ken's office. Me driving up gave me a bail out if the groin started tightening up.

We warmed up a short 2 miles but it was all up hill so we were ready to go. Dave's plan was to hit around 5:50 avg. I thought that would be a great starting point. Nothing to stressful but to build some confidence if my body felt good.

Workout was 60 min tempo @ Marathon pace. We hit 5:46 avg, little quicker than Dave wanted but I think he was happy.

This is a big confidence booster for myself. I havent been able to hit a tempo run for 5 weeks it seems because of my groin. Pain would get to bad and would have to bail out. Anyway, I felt super relaxed and felt like I could've rolled today. But glad I stayed within the plan and walked a way with a good aerobic workout without any stress on the body.

cooled down for a little over a mile.

Solo effort today for the workout. Transitioned over to marathon training last week, and Riley is finishing up his half stuff. So solo for both of us.....

Dave was nice enough to pick me up at Kneaders in Ogden to drive me up to Kens office. We proceeded to do our normal 2.5 mile up hill warm to the trail head.

My workout was 7X2K @ 10-15 seconds faster than MP; w/1K recovery.

Splits- 6:38; 6:34; 6:41; 6:39; 6:25; 6:40; 6:39

Workout|Wednesday

The usual for meet up and drive to Ken's office. Today we had Bret and Matty for the warm up.

My workout was 5X4K with 1K recovery; Dave had 20X2 minutes on/off.

Run went really well again. I was able to extend from 3Ks last week to 4Ks this week at pretty much the same pace. Which was 3:19 per K or 5:20 min/miles.

Great solid workout. Feeling really confident as of late. Marathon in about a month should be a good one.

4X5k with 1K jog recovery

Workout was a tough one today. First warm morning we have had in Northern Utah. Started at 8am and it was around 70 degrees. Also with the North direction we were running we had a steady 6-7 mile an hour headwind. Needless to say I held on to my workout which was 4X5K as long as possible. Made it through 3 reps with the end of the 3rd rep as a struggle. Started the last 5k set and made it 2K in. The heat totally sucked me dry and felt way dehydrated. 

But it is what it is and glad I made an attempt at the workout.

10K @ MP effort; 1K jog; 8K @ MP effort

Met Bryant at Smiths in Ogden. We did almost 5K warm and with strides then jumped straight into 
Our tempo. First 1K took it easy and worked into a pace. By 2K in I felt pretty good and kept pushing from there(makes it easy with someone to run with as well). 10K set was fluid. 8K set definitely felt some fatigue but overall had some pretty good legs to muscle through. Pretty stoked for next weeks marathon.

First set averaged 3:21 per K or 5:23 min/mile 
Second set averaged 3:21 per K or 5:23 min/mile 
Very consistent pacing today, great overall workout

First of all before I even begin with the race report I want to congratulate Bryant and Riley for fantastic runs. Two guys that are great runners and I one day I hope to touch times that they have ran. Also want to thank everyone for the support on the Stable. Great group and discussions that take place here. Also most of all. Thanks to Johnny boy for the time he takes to make me better as a runner. Seen some fantastic results in 12 short months and excited for better times to come.
PRE-RACE:
 Started the morning out with 3 plain pancakes and a banana and sipped water until about 45 before the race started. From there I took 2 servings of UCAN hit the bathroom and went and did a small warm-up before the race started.
RACE:
 Going into this race I had ideas on what I thought I could run but never really talked much about it. Plus I literally decided 4 weeks before the race was that I wanted to switch from half training to marathon and training. Johnny looked over some ideas and thought that it was doable.
 Start of the race as the gun went off the pack immediately separated into 4 guys (Bryant, Riley, Myself, Paxton). We all tucked into a group and started working the miles together. By mile 6 Paxton made it known that he had ran a marathon 2 weeks before and was going to drop off at some point into the race. As we reached around mile 10 Bryant through in a little surge which made me fall off the pack about 10 feet or so, by mile 11 I was able to make up that gap and paced off of the guys for a minute until I got my breathing back. As we came through the half marathon Bryant immediately put in a surge. Riley stayed content and I fell off the back again. From there I just tried to stay focus on Riley and thought that maybe I could get some good miles in and eventually catch back up to him. You know now that I think about it, I think I was catching him around the reservoir, though Strava shows differently. ;-)
 Around mile 15 I took 1 serving of UCAN, grabbed some water and just stayed focus on finishing the race the best that I could. I hit the Ogden Canyon and could see Riley for a bit but the turns became more often and lost sight of him. Around 19 miles in I started to feel that fatigue of the marathon, and just started taking each mile 1 by 1. Stayed focus and determined at my personal goal at hand. Around mile 23 I was still feeling okay, not great, but okay. I came upon an aid station and 2 half marathoners that were walking didn’t hear me coming and didn’t get out of my way in time and I literally ran right into them. Knocked them both over and I mumbled some words but kept running.
 I think this took a little more out of me then I thought. I never run that great on the Ogden Pathway anyways but I went from low 5:30s to about 6 min/pace almost instantly. Knowing I had about 2.5 miles left help me get through to the finish. Anyways the last couple miles felt like a death walk.
I looked at my watch around mile 25 and knew I had sub 2:30 in the bag, it was just a matter of how I wanted to finish. I saw Jason Holt with about 1 mile to go and he offered to run in with me. I think Jason was probably laughing at me because I was getting delirious! I told Jason every block look back and tell me if anyone is coming. He kept saying bro, you have 3rd locked up just run. I kept saying dude you have no idea, they can totally make up the gap! Haha! Finally with 2 blocks left I finally believed Jason that I would take 3rd place. Came into the finish line with a time of 2:28:59. So glad that I finally got the monkey off of my back for this race. I’ve been trying for years to go under 2:30 and finally got it. I say I am done with the Ogden Marathon but it’s most likely a lie. For some reason the difficulty of this course just brings me back to try to better myself. Who knows maybe one day I can get the win on the hometown course. Just have to see what happens.
POST RACE:
I’ve mentioned some of the post-race in the Stable already so I am going to copy it over to my race report. Got really interesting none the less.
Came across the finish line and staggered a bit. Got my bearings and started marking my way through the finish line area. About 3-4 minutes after my legs began to give out so I sat down next to a soda truck. From there a volunteer saw that I didn't look so well. She asked if I needed help and I looked at her somewhat unresponsive and couldn't reply. She took my pulse and it was all over the place. She grabbed a wheelchair and rushed me to the medical tent. From there according to the nurses my body went into shock. My legs locked up and I began to shiver and couldn't stop. At one point one of the nurses wanted to do a rectal temp because they couldn't get an accurate reading because I was shaking so bad. I wouldn't stand for that and that's when I started kicking and screaming saying, "You’re not taking me alive!" From there I was sedated and the rest is a blur. (Not to mention my rectum is a bit sore today, ha-ha, just kidding) no rectal was done. Paramedics then joined the scene and suggested a warm IV. So they got one of those going and 1000ml later I started feeling back to normal. I've ran over 30 marathons in my life and I have never had this happen to me. But as the Cookie Monster put it, I really think I ran my body into exhaustion. The Ogden Marathon has owned me for so many years, that I was determined to conquer this course regardless of how I was feeling. Very grateful for the med staff and concerned family and friends that took care of me yesterday. Cookie Monster and I had a good laugh after all was well.

WORKOUT|WEDNESDAY

Warmup with Dave from Smiths

Workout today was 8X(5 min/1K off) 5 minutes at -10  MRE(Marathon Race Effort).

If my workout was going to feel like my warm up I most likely would've bagged it and ran easy.

Halfway through my first set I started feeling great and was about 6+ seconds faster than previous weeks.

Overall workout was phenomonal. Average 5:16 pace for the 5 min portion and 6:56 pace for the 1K portion.

Probably one of the better workouts that I have done.

CHERRY DAYS 5K

North Ogden Annual Cherry Days race.

Showed up nice and early and started to warmup. Noticed that it was quite warm, also noticed that there was a headwind from the East so knowing that helped for a little strategy for the first mile at least.

3.20 mile warm with 4X20 second strides, 1 minute @ race effort.

Got to the start line and there was a good mix of highschool kids that I didnt recognize. So competition wise I didnt know how it was going to be. Jake Lee was there so I knew it was going to be a race. He is fit right now and I barely got him in the Pleasant View race. 

Went out in the first mile pretty conservative around 5:20 pace or so. Had a couple highschool kids in front but stayed relaxed knowing there was a headwind and also a 130+ climb coming up as well. Started the climb and within 20 seconds into the hill I was in first place. I hit the first mile in 5:29 which was 10 seconds slower than I normally hit on that hill. Going into mile 2, looked back and Jake was still there about 5 secoonds back. I started feeling good and rolled with the hills on fruitland and came through mile 2 at 4:57 by now  I got a little bigger gap and kept the same effort and came through mile 3 in 4:59 and kicked intot the finish around 4:45 pace. Jake was about 10 seconds back or so.

Fun race, glad to keep the win streak alive.

Ran back and ran Jaerdy in. Way proud of him he ran 25:30 and that was a couple minute PR for him. Ran back again and ran in with Mr. Grady and Nikki. Grady was super cute running with my Ogden Marathon bib on. Always a fun race and glad to spend the morning with family.

Not much to say. Legs just didnt have it today. Went out at 4:57 first mile, gradual uphill, felt fine. 2nd mile was gradual down and I just didnt have the turnover like I wanted, went 5:03. 3rd mile breathing was just off, got a pain in the middle of my chest, almost felt like a sideache. It altered my breathing pretty good, went 5:23 which shouldnt have happened. With the last mile I should've been closer to 5:10 or so.

RACE

Pretty deep field today. Aaron Fletcher, Riley, Bryant, Jason, Fritz, Nate, Myself. Probably the most stacked race of the year other than the upcoming St. George Marathon.

Gun went off and there was a group of 7 of us through the first mile. I came through around 5:06 and felt way comfortable. Thinking that going out a little slower was a little better to do. 

Settled into a pace and hit the first 7 miles yo-yoing back in forth with Nate and Fritz. 

Splits were 5:08; 5:05; 5:10; 5:01; 5:01; 5:03.

To be honest the pace actually seemed pretty difficult leg wise. Breathing was on, felt relaxed, legs just didnt have the pop in them that I wanted or expected. The downhill I think saved a disasterous race. Once the race leveled a bit the splits slowly started to go in the wrong the direction. 

5:12; 5:25; 5:26; 5:35; 5:54; 5:33

The 5:54 split came at the time I gave up on the race. I knew I wasn't going to catch Fritz, I looked back and didn't see a soul insight. Also 6th place, first out of the money. BOOM! Motivation out the door! 

Took the last mile with ease as well and came in a little over 1:09.

Disappointed for sure. Thought I could roll a 1:07 or so but..... I also haven't done any speed work at all since April. I have been doing long intervals around 5:20 pace and body is ready for a marathon.

Treadmill @ Work.

Just retired the LunarGlide 7. Phenomanal shoe if you ask me. A little over 400 miles. Firm yet responsive feel. I will definitely give another pair a go. Here's to the LunarGlide 8 Olympic Edition.

Great run with the Cookie Monster in south ogden. Broke out some new adidas and they are fantastic. I can tell that this is a start to a beautiful relationship.

10 miles with Jared and Dave in East Layton. Just if winter will stay in the 20s for the morning then I will be happy runner. First race of the 2018 is going to be a 10K in STG. Work will start next week. Give me about 9 weeks or so to train, hopefully I will get some speed back in the legs and redeem myself from this garbage year of racing.
