Finally back in town and training with the team. The guys have a srtong front runner (Luke) and a solid 2-3-4-5-6 in the other guys (40 second split). I spent 1 week training in the high Uintahs, came back for 3 days and went to the Wind Rivers (Wyoming ) for some REALLY high altitude training (10000+) for 2 weeks, came back for 1 day and went down to Cedar Mtn with the team for another week at 8000' + training. Ran with Pat S. and Luke mostly. Average milage in the 70's.
Most of my altitude training was just distance and hill oriented but the stuff at Cedar was speed (me dying trying to keep up with Pat and Luke). Got in 84 miles that week. Wanted to race the GSL 1/2 but had the boy. Today I ran 2 x 10 min cruise intervals (Daniels style) at Liberty park with Luke. Was hoping for 5:20 pace but ended up at 5:25. I was ok with that as it was in the heat of the day, as all of my training through next June will be. First interval took a great deal of focus and the second felt much better. Warm up and cool down in park.
