Did long intervals on the mill today. Ran 3x1.25 with 400 jog in between each. My pace for the first one was 6:52 mile pace, 2nd was 6:45, and 3rd was 6:36. Felt pretty good-achilles is feeling stronger!

Ran my long run outside today. Did a big loop-but also did about 4 miles at the track. Today was really hard for me. My achilles was sore the first two miles-and then I didn't really feel it any more. I went out at a slower pace and basically ran the whole thing straight besides one potty break at the house. My legs started feeling tired around 9-10 miles into it. I was extremely tired when I got home-dehydrated. ANyway-I am feeling much better now-legs hurt a little-but I'm way better than before. At least I finished it. (I am not a fan of super long runs)

(avg pace 8:15)

Did a run today where I ran 13x400s with a 200 walk/jog in between. I did it on a loop-not the track. The average pace of my 400s was between 5:55-6:05 pace. I felt good-besides the fact it was so windy. Did a warm up and cool down.

Did a loop today and focused on doing a 13 mile progression run. My stupid garmin got off track the first 3 miles-but I believe my splits were around 7:45 pace for the first 3. The pace for the rest of my miles were 7:37, 7:23, 7:45, 6:57, 7:35, 7:13, 6:56, 6:38, 6:35, and 6:30. (I really focused on picking it up for the last 4 miles, and amazingly I felt great) Ran down by the ballpark on the trail in spanish fork. (I really liked it) Did 1.5 cool down back to the house.  (last 10 miles were averaged at a 7:07 pace) wahoo!

Did an easy 3.5 miles up by Heber (where we were camping) There was a 1/2 mile loop (straight up and straight down) not too fun-so I just did an easy 3.5. (I was definitely glad I did my long one earlier this week.

Did my last really long run before the marathon. Ran 20 outside. Did 6 mile loop, hopped on the track and did about 7 or 8, then did a loop home. Felt ok-I did have to stop some especially the last 2-3 miles. It's all coming back to me...how tired my legs feel after running soo many miles. ANyway-my average time was 7:40, the miles at the track were between 7:25-7:30. Anyway, I am glad it is over!

achilles still a little sore

Did a workout of the famous yasso 800s. Did 10x800 at the track with a 400 jog in between (jog was the same amt of rest time as I ran the 800) My times were 3:00, 3:04, 3:03, 3:04 3:04, 3:04, 3:03, 3:02, 3:01, 2:53. I was actually really dreading this workout-but actually it felt really good to me. I felt fast-but relaxed. (supposedly this is a test to see how fast one can actually run the marathon-does anyone know if this is true or accurate?)

Anyway-it over and I am glad I did it.

Did my last really long run outside today. Ran 17 miles. Did some of my last miles at the track-those splits were 7:34, 7:25, 7:04, and 6:59. Overall my average pace was around 7:50. Definitely did not feel very good today. Legs were still so tired and sore from the yasso 800s I did a few days ago. Was extremely tired the last two miles going back home (uphill)

Was glad when this workout was over!

Did 5x1600s on the mill today with a 400 very easy jog in between. (mile warm up and .5 cool down) My splits were 6:30, 6:32, 6:24, 6:25, and 6:15. Felt pretty good. I am starting my taper considering the TOU marathon is in 2 and a half weeks!
