Personal:

My name is Eugenio I was born near Rome, Italy, in 1972 and lived there for 29 years, then in 2001 I moved to Salt Lake City for work and for seven years and one month that was my home, since 2008 I am back to Italy. I started running in 2003 when I realized I could not ride my bike throughout the Utah winter.

Progression run 7.5 miles in 58:14, I started really slow and without killing myself I finished at half marathon pace. Great feelings overall in spite the cold weather and the rain.

Tempo run night. 3k warm up and then I started the tempo with a simple goal: 7k in 28 minutes (4min/k). The first km I was still in wu mode and did it in 3:58, then I relaxed and finished the next 2.5k much faster, I had to stop to re-tie my shoes, started again with another fast k, I was at 5k with 25 seconds ahead of my goal time, km 6 was still on pace while the last one it was a struggle. I finished 7k in 27:42. Next week I will try to stick to my plan and keep 4min/k until the end avoiding racing during the last k and maybe extending my tempo in the 8-9k range.

2 k cool down at the end.

I took advantage of the national holiday to do a fast work out in the morning. The first 5k were needed to wake me up then I started with my work out 6X1000m with 3 minutes recovery jog. These were my splits: 3:45, 3:42, 3:45, 3:44, 3:42, 3:43. I finished with a 2k cool down. I felt great throughout the run, my goal pace was 3:45 that is faster than my current 10k pace, but it felt sustainable until the end.
