Blake Bennions running

Easy run followed by 25-30 min sauna at 190. Felt alright. Might go for 3x3 miles at marathon pace tomorrow.

Might have to take my easy week early, air quality has been horrific this week. If air quality is good tomorrow I'm going to do 3x3 miles at marathon pace, if it's bad I'm going to go up to wheeler canyon for 10-12 miles.

25 mins sauna as well, ran my Austin air purifier next to the sauna while I ran.

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.

33 minute workout of 300 lunges, 200 backwards lunges, 200 squats, 60 burpees, 60 pushups, 30 jump squats, 40 figure 8s, 50 sit ups, 50 leg lifts, several minutes continuous jumping as active recovery between exercises- these were the total numbers from 3 sets in an attempt to preserve form... I think that was everything.

Average heart rate of 138, legs are going to be feeling it tomorrow. Much prefer sore legs over wrecked lungs.

Really hope air quality starts improving soon.

Easy with a couple strides. I do a 2-4 strides on most of my easy runs and forget to log it- need to do a better job of that so I can look back and see when I was/wasn't doing strides in past years.

Sauna at 190ish for 25 mins.

Air quality is finally improving. My legs are pretty sore. I think I'll just do 11 miles tomorrow to cap off my easy week and then get a jump on next week's mileage with 10 on Sunday.

With Jake and Wyatt. Felt sore but had fun. 25 minute sauna afterwards.

20 minute night sauna.
