| 6:45 am - 6 miles at steady pace (6:30/mile). A bit nippy this morning, but I'm surprisingly not too sore from the race. A good sign, I suppose. I headed down the usual river trail.
11 am - 3 miles easy (7:00 pace) down University Ave.

6:45 am - Stayed at the indoor track this morning to do some tempo work. I was squeezed on time this morning, so I couldn't get the full 4 miles in, but here's how it went:
2 miles - 11:04 (even 5:32 splits)
1:00 rest
1 mile - 5:26
It felt good and relaxed, and I really wanted to get that fourth mile in, but it just wasn't in the cards today. So 3 miles in 16:30 with a 1:00 rest between miles 2 and 3..... Looking back at previous seasons, I've never done a workout like that and had it feel that good.
11 am - 4 recovery miles (7:00 - 7:10 pace) with 6x100m strides at the end. The track was occupied, so I did them on the sidewalk outside. I'm estimating an average of 14.5 seconds apiece. |

11 am - 7 miles down the river trail (48:03). It was snowing a little, but sunny.... kind of a weird combo. Spent most of the time thinking about the next phase of training. I'm rather partial to Daniels' training philosophies, but I'm not sure what kind of intervals to add in. Doing threshold work is easy to figure out, but where does VO2 max pace start?
Anyway, an easy run - a little faster than I wanted, but that's okay. I'll try to add some more in tonight. 8:30 pm - 3 easy miles down Springville Main.

| 6:45 am - I'm having trouble finding time for my second workout this week. It looks like I'll have to try to squeeze it in tomorrow since there wasn't time this morning. Ran down the river trail. Total time 40:34. It was super cold this morning -- it's not often that you feel the hairs in your nose freeze! But today was one of those days. |

6:30 am - No classes this morning, so I had a little more time for the workout. Ran 4 x 5:00 with 4:30 rests from my place with the hope of simulating 5:00 mile repeats. I was running out of the Hobblecreek canyon, so I was shooting for slightly under 5:00 pace, since it's downhill. I have some error in measuring on gmap, since my start and end points aren't exact, but it looks like I fell a little short with total distance at 3.9 miles, making average pace somewhere around 5:07-5:10. The first two reps were at or just under 5:00 pace, but the last two are where I faltered, according to gmap. Which is surprising to me, the last two felt the fastest.
In any case, it was a good workout. I look forward to starting more speed stuff -- today just whet my appetite.
PM - Added 4 miles easy miles after work. Total time 30:04.

Did a 14 miler today... as much as I tried to tell myself it wouldn't be that far, it was. Fourteen is the most I've done in a day, and I have doubts that it will ever feel easy.
I headed up Hobble Creek Canyon, hoping that the trail would be plowed like the Provo River trail. I wasn't that lucky, of course, but I didn't feel like turning around. The snow was packed down for awhile, but the further up the canyon I got, the deeper it got. At one point I was up to my knees in snow, and figured it was time to head back. Snow running's the best!
I tried to pick it up slightly on the last few miles, but my legs were kinda tired by that point. I was surprised to see the last 2 miles were 12:34, I felt like I was barely under 7:00 pace. |
