Easy run today. Went later and ran solo this morning so my wife could get her run in without rushing. Legs feel great today and looking forward to tomorrows aerobic builder. I wish that I had another month of training, because I feel like I am getting stronger weekly still and might not be ready for STG. Who knows might be a good thing because my energy is threw the roof and not feeling burned out.

 

avg pace 6:48 min/miles

Had a solid group of guys on our aerobic builder today. Jon, Riley, ken, Bret, Jason, and Dave. Did a 3 mile warm with strides then jumped into the tempo. Today felt a little harder then normal, I got stopped @ 12th for a bit then had to use the bathroom at 4 miles. After that my body just felt done, but I fought through as hard as I could and bank some quality miles even though I didn't hit my goal for the day.

2.15 cool

Avg pace for tempo was 5:38 pace will post splits later.

Goal was 5:31 pace for the 8.

Easy run with Ken and Riley from 21st. Headed up towards the Ogden canyon then hopped on to the trail for about a mile then looped back down to the parkway. Finished the run off with a loop around the pond to make it 10.25 for the morn.

2 mile repeats

met with Ken, Riley, Jason and Bret @ the 31st parkway to do some repeats. 

Warm was 3.25 with strides then jumped into some repeats with 3 min rest.

Splits

first set- 5:40; 5:28 

second set- 5:16; 5:14

tthird set-  5:28; 5:16

2 mile cool

overall the workout felt pretty good for the most part, especially once the legs got moving. I thought on the third set I was done, but glad to rebound and hit a great split for a tough mile.

After the workout I had a lactate threshold lab for my exercise physiology class and did a little over a mile to get the legs moving. Funny with the results, I can run forever but for power I tested in the 11% percentile, man I am weak. Can't wait until the Vo2 Max test, so I can feel good about something.

Good solid run today down Sardine Canyon and into Mantua with Ken, Riley, Dave and Jason Holt.

Did a 2.40 mile warm before I started into my first 3 mile tempo. Ran with Ken and Dave for this one.

Mile splits were 5:41; 5:38; 5:24 all was conversational. Ken and I just talked crap to eachother the whole time. Best friends that want to kill eachother in races! I think thats how are entire group is. We motivate the Shizz out of eachother that we want to beat eachother very badly. Glad I am apart of it.

We did some easy mileage around Mantua twice then headed out on the road down the rest of sardine then knocked out 3 more miles at marathon pace.

Splits were 5:27; 5:19; and 5:35 up the hill into Brigham City. I need to check but last time on the hill I think I was close to 5:50 pace so definetly improvement.

Cooled for 2 more miles and called it a day.

Good run, legs responded well. There is still work to do in the next couple of weeks, so that gets me excited to improve my fitness even more. Hope I can shock some people in STG!
