Workout with the Black Sheep this morning. It was a big group, probably 20 people. Must be spring. We met at Sugarhouse park, ran a warmup loop on the road,then headed to the track at Highland HS.  We continued the warmup with an easy 800.  

 The meat of the workout was 8 Yasso 800s w/200m jog recovery.  It's a little too early in the season for me to pick and stick to a marathon goal time to parallel the times for these 800s, but I figured anything below 2:48 would be ok--particularly given my recovery status. I don't have my watch in front of me, but I think I can remember our interval times:  2:50 /2:48 / 2:46 / 2:45 / 2:43  2:45 /2:46 / 2:45.   Next we ran 2 x 400, both in 77 seconds.  Then 1 mile cooldown.

Chad,remember not to increase your mileage and intensity too much as you recover from your SI problem.

Good point, Chad.

Good training. Are you running the half marathon this Saturday?

From Chad on Fri, Apr 06, 2007 at 12:53:34

No, Sasha. As I am recovering from my little bump in the road, I think it's necessary to have a few weeks of consistent training before racing again. I am still working out a few kinks. I am planning to run the Salt Lake City Half Marathon on the 21st. But no racing before then. Nevertheless, good luck to you this Saturday. You're really starting to pour it on now and I wish you the best in the race.
