Met up with Bret, Riley, and Kenae (Janae). Ken asked if we could pace Janae in a run around 6:30-35 pace. Ended up working out well for Janae. She ran really strong and should be on pace for a PR in Chicago.

I struggled the first few miles with my stomach and had 3 bathroom breaks. Once that was settled I felt pretty decent today, little heavy but nothing to complain about.

Trail Tuesday

Lucked out with the weather today. As I left my house it was a complete downpoor but as I got to the park by Mt. Ogden it was barely raining and by a mile in it had completely stopped. Overall turned out to be a great run weather wise.

Leg wise I am pretty trashed today sore calves, knees, and hammy's. If it were race week I would be concerned but with the race a little over 2 weeks out. Should be okay....

Met Ken, Riley and Jon super early at Smiths to do a Marathon workout.

Goal today was to hit 8-10 miles roughly between 6:05 to 6:10 pace then jump into mile repeats at goal Marathon pace. This workout is teaching the legs to run goal pace on fatigued legs. 

Started into are warmup and 2 miles in we started to into the workout.

Ended up doing 8 miles with splits of 5:59; 6:09; 6:08; 5:53; 5:52; 5:48; 6:00; 5:49

Had about a minute rest and jumped into the mile repeats

splits were 5:21; 5:17; 5:19; 5:16; 5:12 overall rest between sets were about 70 seconds with a walk/jog.

Definitely quick on the repeats but felt very controlled. This is probably the best I have felt in a workout in a long time. Felt solid the entire run, and felt like I had more to give after the workout. Which is exactly where I want to be right now. Things are looking great and the work is starting show, almost time to put it all together.

2.25 mile cool down

Woke up pretty early to get an early start to run Monte Cristo with Jon. Plan was to warm for 2 miles then hit a 13 mile tempo run at a controlled pace, roughly 5-10 slower than goal marathon pace. 

Overall the workout went fantastic

Splits were-  536; 536; 5:36; 533; 5:36; 5:36; 530; 526; 532; 528; 528; 525; 523.

Run was paced perfectly, felt pretty effortless, and felt like I had more to give. Which is want I want from every workout.

19 miles total for the run. Overall pace with warm and Cooldown was 5:54 min/miles
