Personal: BSRools, the B stands for Brent and the S for Sylvie. The Rools come from my personal running rools over the years: Never complain once the run starts, allways pick up the pace into the wind and always pick up the pace on a hill. If someone whines, pick up the pace. Once a goal is set, no whining, regardless of setbacks. We were running when running was not Kool. Kool comes from a race story, ran my first race, 5K wearing a "beanie that had "Kool Aid Kid" Favorite Blogs: |

Treadmill, 1 mile warmup, 6 miles at a 7:19 pace, 1% grade. 1 mile cool down 8:20 pace.
Heart rate avg. 161 during the 6 miles. Heart rate usually at about 138 to 140 on easy runs.
I am not sure on how to measure this workout, somewhat short of all out race pace, between a tempo run and a threshold run. My most recent 10K was at a 7:31 pace. It is nice to see some improvement. No taper for this workout. My goal, complete this same workout at 7 minute mile pace before the Ogden marathon.

| Easy, easy, run, my excitement from yesterday's run has been tempered by the heavy legs today. The run felt like the death march at the end of some marathons, Disney World 2006 comes to mind. |

From home, south along the parkway to 700 west and home. Salt Lake Running Co. doing a teaser run for the SL Marathon, many runners on the trail today. I am running the SL Marathon, so, I took gatorade, cliff shots, blocks along the course. What the heck, they were free and there was no charge for running. Started the run with some shoes I am not quite happy with, different model year that my Nike Air Zoom Elites, I could just not get with it. Stopped and home, changed shoes to another model year of Zoom Elites. This year did not have good cushon in the shoe, ran 4 miles with Sylvia and Sammy and then we dropped off Sammy at home. I changed shoes again to my favorite year of Zoom Elites. Although this pair has over 300 miles on them, ran much better the last 7 miles of the run.
Lesson learned, chuck the two pair of shoes I don't like, don't risk injury. I have 6 more pair of the model year I like in the closet, about 1 and 1/2 years of running. To make a long story short, chuck the shoes, don't risk injury.
It is difficult to determine my condition for the SL marathon. I hope the half marathon in Eden next week will give me a better indicator to plan my pace at the marathon.
Lastly, Sylvia is great, she really motivates me on days where I may give up after a dozen miles. She is the best.
P.S. three tri-geeks passed me at the7 mile mark, Rob, said hi, I could not let these three sporters pass me that easy, picked up the pace, passed them and held on for another mile. I may have not been smart to throw in a 7 mininute mile for me during the long run. |
