Brayden Youngberg Running

Did a mile warmup and then a 5 to 1 stepping stone. On the fast parts I went 6:10 pace, and 7:45 on the recovery. Cooled down after outside becasue the gym closed haha

I did a 7 mile progressive long run today. I ran a 7:20, 7:10, 7:00, 6:50, 6:40, 6:30, and a 6:20. It was boring becasue i was on a treadmill, but it made it easy to keep pace.

Did a mile warmup with Addison and did 8 repeats up 500 W. I kept my time under 1:20 and felt really good about it. Did a 2.5 mile cooldown after.

Did a 2.25 mile warmup on the treadmill, then ran a 2 mile tempo. I did a long 3.75 mile cooldown, but I didn't want to stop because I was watching Fast Five haha 

Easy 5 miler with Henry and then one more later tonight to reach 6. I have ran alone on th treadmill recently, so it was great to be abl to run with someone.
 

Took the ACT this morning and then went and helped with a HOSA activity. Went on a 6 miler from Smith's around somerandom neighborhoods up to the base of the pass and back home. It's great being able to run again. Then I had to hurry home to get ready for the school dance, which was a blast.

Fist day practicing with the team for indoor track today!! Between IT band problems, The ACT, and sickness I've been pretty unlucky haha it's great to be back though. We did a mile and a half warm-up, 6 x 200's at 39's and 2 x 400's. Mile and a half cooldown and another mile tonight

Easy 5 with Jake and Addison after shoveling the track.

Easy 4.5 to get ready for the meet tomorrow.

Half mile warm-up, did the mile and them the 800 neither of my times were very good and I felt pretty sick after. I'm still recovering from Monday I think. Did a mile cool down after. Mile: 5:21 800: 2:25

Super fun run with Henry up above 500 on the trails to get out of the inversion. It was a good run that was a pretty good workout even though it only 4 miles. Read Henry's blog if you want to know more.

Good long run with Jake, Addison, and Talon. Averaged 6:50's after we ran up to the track and did 4x200's

6 easy miles with some pickups at the end of it.

Did 2x400's and 2 strides. After that I went on a 3 mile cool down with Addison and Talon.

Half a mile warm up before the race. The race went pretty well I started out closer to the back but was in 3rd by the end of the first lap. I stayed there most of the race and finished in 6th I think for my heat. I was able to re-watch the race on runnerspace and analyze my form and and see what I need to work on. I let my head nod and need to fix that, and I also run really tight and bounce up and down a lot. So it's good that I was able to watch and see what I need to fix. I did a 2 mile cooldown after.

Easy 3.5 up to some hill and to some random Roman looking pillars on top of a hill.

Easy 2.5 with Addison and Brielle for there warm-ups.

Easy 4.5 around the pond with Paul, Jake, Henry, Nate, Talon, Point, and Henry.

Easy 5.5 down to Lee's and Smith's and back. I think Henry explainded it best on his blog, "we were going to run to Lee's for some samples and stuff. So I'm running with Talon, Brayden, and Nate Staker, and we cruise on down to Lee's. We get in, grab some orange juice, wholewheat bread with honey, and some coconut water. We go outside and guess who's there. That's right BJ's girlfriend. So he sits there and talks to her for like 420 minutes and the rest of us act like spies or something. We finally get his attention and we start running again. Then we're like "Hey! Smith's will have food too!" So we run over there and grab some cookies and sushi. So we leave and we're running behind the old Smiths and we see these sick balloons and Talon grabs one. We keep running and then a cop pulls us over!! He's all like "that's a special balloon! Put it back!" So we run it back and he follows us so we act like we're going one way but go another and lose him. Then we run back to the school and I told some fire jokes. We get back to the school and then I leave and run home.  Got home, was chilling and I got an alert from Insta saying that Talon had sent a picture from Doug the pug to the group chat and so I got on and showed them a far superior account called dogrates. The group chats have been lit lately. Just like my runs." Sorry Henry, I had to steal your very detailed description from the blog, please don't sue me.... I'll buy you food

I decided to start doing morning runs, so today was my first one. I went 4 miles at a 7:10 pace. Later today we all ran up and around the rock quarry. Ran past a Jaguar F-type and my ears praised the heavens when the exaust sounded... It was beautiful, need I say more. We went 5 miles at a 7:15 pace.

Ran 7.5 miles up to Big Rock and back before heading to work.

Me, Talon, Addison, Nate, and Spencer ran up to the trails above 500 W. We ended up running down the face of the mountain becasue we lost the trail. It was insane, we were all tripping and falling in the snow. We found a golfball, a stuffed bear, and I fell into a cactus and had to pull 400,000 cactus prickles out of my hand and knee, it was awful, but quite funny. We also ran over to the cave and explored that area. Addison said it best on his blog, "Finally ran with the guys again today. After we witnessed the most intense flip ever from jake smith, we decided to run the trails above 500 W. Jake turned back early cause his tailbone was quite sore from the intense 360 poin flip that i previously mentioned. We ended up running straight down the face on our way back. Everyone was falling through the snow and going down hard. We stopped to extract a cactus, and as you can probably guess, bj screwed up. He just sorta tipped forward and fell straight into the cactus. After much swearing and screams of agony, he finally pulled himself together. We ended our run by exploring the caves. Brayden seems to know them quite well... i wonder why..." Sorry to add and Henry for stealing your blog posts, but they are pretty fire.

I honestly can't remember what I did today, but my watch said I ran at least 4 miles... I think I went on 2 runs, but i'm not sure.

Did a 3 mile morning run with Jake. I'm not sure what we averaged, but it felt good. After the track meeting we ran 5 miles, and then we played some hardcore ultimate frisbee.
