Moderate Monday

Met up with Jon and Ken at Smiths. Weather was awesome thsi morning, light rain to start but stopped shortly in and a whopping 41 degrees! Felt so good! Started pretty conservative for the first mile with a Secret Bathroom stop. Then started rolling from there.

Splits were 801;609;628;611;609;605;610;609;607;608;621;548;556. Cool down for 2 miles at 746 and 804. Great run again. I think it was a little quicker than last week. Hills felt harder this week and Ken gapped me by 10 seconds or so caught him on the flat and then finished a little back off the last mile.

overall avg pace was 6:31 min/miles

Solo run from Smith's. Ran to the top of Skyline then made my way South. Dropped down to Combe, made a small loop in South Ogden, then headed back to Smith's. Took it pretty chill today, nice and relaxing recovery run.

Workout/Wednesday

Met Moss, Jason, and Ken at the Pond. Did a long warmup of 6.5 miles with 2X30 second strides.

Workout was 20X400 @75 pace with 60 second rest. Workout went fantastic and for the most part felt pretty easy. Last 4 were getting tough because pace dropped but thats expected.

Last 8 Ken and I started dropping the pace. 64s were Kens fault. But workout went better than planned. Great motivation moving forward.

Jason was about 3 seconds ahead for the first 14 repeats then was with us for the last 6.

Moss did 16X400 and 4X200. Great workout for him. He hit same pace as us for the 16.

 

Splits- 72;74;72;75;72;75;73;75;72;74;72;73;71;71;68;69;64;70;64;70

Overall avg of 71.3 (4:46 min/mile)

2.40 mile cooldown with Jason and Ken

Met Denver at Smiths. Did the same route that I  did on Tuesday. Legs were hammered! With 2 runs yesterday and 2 hours of Basketball it was rough going this morning. Glad pace didnt matter, love/hate relationship with recovery days.

Long Run/Workout

Met Riley at the pond. Started our warm up and the plan was to do 3X5 mile at Marathon pace. But I felt that was a pretty big workout right now so Riley suggested our 3-2-1 breakdown. I was more on board with that one so that was the workout for the day.

5 mile warm. 3-2-1-800-400 w/1:1 rest, 1.5 mile cool

Splits for the workout was:

3 mile (16:32)

2 mile (10:25)

1 mile (4:58)

800 (2:27)

400 (64)

Really, really happy with thos workout today. Have been feeling great the last 2 weeks and been nailing workouts and getting some good confidence. Riley was solid today like always. Good to have him up front so I can gaige on where I am at. I have work to do still, but slowly getting fit again.
