Blake Bennions running

Decided to do my long run tomorrow because it got dark before I could get out to run and I didn't want to be stuck on the pavement. Not that I was today, I did most of today's run on the fields behind Orion. But tomorrow I'm looking forward to some trails and trying to stave off the temptation of segment hunting. I think I'll have tomorrow be 10-12 miles and just go however fast I want to go and then I'll do 1 other workout like 6x800m or 4 mile mp on Thursday.

Gully run. I love running there so much, I've gotta make these runs happen more often than a couple times per year.

I did the gully long run with an uphill pickup and a couple steady miles and then 4 miles in the lower gully.

I got the segment record on shut up hill which was really fun, .34 miles 8.1% grade in 1:53 (5:30 pace). GAP is 3:57 so according to that this was about the equivalent of a sub 2:00 800m. Idk about that but I'll take the optimism.

Easy run in the snow. Would have done another couple miles if I had time also would have liked to sauna. Nice to have the storm hit during recovery week.

Cold and easy.

25 min sauna

Ran up to Weber drive and back. Felt good today, although there's still a little bit of lingering leg fatigue. Probably just nature of marathon training that legs take a little longer to adapt to high volume of quality miles.

Easy with Wyatt and Henry. Went a little longer than planned but felt nice and ready to get back to work.
