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.

Another easy run, I was really tired tonight after a long day, finishing 7 miles was already a significant goal.

Tempo run night, after a 3k warm up I started, my goal was a 10k in 40 minutes. Everything went smoothly until km 7 when I had to stop for a bathroom break. Restarted for the last 3k and finished in 40:13. Without the stop it would have been an almost perfect run. When I was driving home started raining really hard I got lucky tonight.

Easy miles but I was not tired from last night run, this is a good sign. The real check will be tomorrow night when I will attempt a 10X400. One of the last few runs with some residual natural light until 7:45pm, next week I will retreat to the winter running area, the industrial zone, with a 1.6k loop with wide roads and well lit and boring like hell.

Fast workout night, I was feeling recovered from tuesday run, but I had doubts. My plan was 10X400 with 200m recovery jog. My plan was to do a  progression to see how things would go, I was definitively feeling better as I was progressing and I was completely in control until the end. These were my splits: 87, 88, 85, 84, 84, 85, 83, 84, 83, 80. During the last one I opened up the gas to see what I could do. The average pace is 84.3, that is a couple of seconds slower than last time but I was really in control and pushing the pace without struggling. I never felt so relaxed at the end of a 10x400, it is time to push the pace a little bit.

Easy half just to keep my mileage above 50/week. With one tempo run and one fast workout per week it is hard to stay above 50 miles. I am just hoping to maintain this rhythm for the next couple of months.
