Blake Bennions running

12 miles with Jake on the canal road, was going to do a few more after but GI issues tanked me. Might do another 4 miler later tonight.

20 min sauna

A few hours of yard work in the pm.

Hour or two of yardwork and easy run with 2 strides. Rocks are harder to shovel than dirt. Might skip a day off this week since I took two day last week, on the other hand I've got a lot of yardwork this week so we'll see how it goes.

Felt great on the run, best I've felt since before I started doing 20 milers. I'll do a fartlek workout with Jake on Wednesday and then either 6xk or 4xmile on Friday.

Am- Easy with Jake.

Pm- a couple hours of yard work followed by 2 easy miles and 25 min sauna. Feeling good. I'll do a real workout tomorrow but I have to decided what that will be. Ideally I'd do a fast workout on the track but between that taking longer to do and not wanting to run during lacrosse practice I'll probably do some sort of hm pace workout. Maybe 5k repeats starting at marathon pace and progressing to hm pace, maybe 2 mile repeats. We shall see.

Warmed up a couple miles and then did about 6.5 tempo and then cooled down. 20 minute sauna afterwards. Felt really good the first mile and opened in 5:43 uphill, I slowed down down to 5:50s because heart rate was high, felt kinda rough by the end.

Canal run, left calf is a little tight.

Antelope Island is super pretty, my calf is super wrecked. Might have to take a couple days off or at minimum very easy and flat. I think I could run really fast if my body gets out of this funk.
