Long run with Jake, 3 mile tempo from 11-13. Watched Jackson Spencers 8:31 3200m at Arcadia before we ran, that kid is insane. I also dropped my hat off at the car after 6 miles of overcast and then the sun came out and burned me. Tempo went pretty well, averaged 5:25 (5:23, 5:32, 5:20) in my new balance 1080 v12s, which are definitely harder to do tempos in than the endorphin speeds- which are several seconds per mile slower than the pros. The last mile in 5:20 felt better than the 5:32, really kinda felt better as the tempo went on. Definitely could have done another 2 miles at that pace. I think sub 5:20 on the downhill miles at Ogden is realistic, I'm just not sure I can keep the flat miles close enough to 5:20 to get under 70. Calf didn't start complaining today until the cool down. 22 minute sauna afterwards. Feel like I could go do another 8-10 miles. Taking a gu and drinking some water water mid run is life changing. |
