Ran in wheeler canyon to escape the crappy air. Beautiful to run up there and I felt good today. I ended up doing a downhill 5k tempo at an average of 5:25 pace. It felt pretty easy, heart rate was about 160. I think if I was in endorphins instead of my nimbus I could have averaged sub 5:10 without pushing at all. So on a half marathon course averaging 270 feet downhill I'm pretty confident I could run like a 66 minute half. Ogden half doesn't have quite that much downhill though. |
