5 EZ miles on the mill

Got up this morning to do yasso 800s at the track and it was raining! awesome!! not! Anyway-I didn't have another day to do them this week so I decided I might as well get it over with. After a very short warm up I got started. I had about 2:40 rest in between each one. Splits were as follows 2:48, 2:50, 2:47, 2:49, 2:48, 2:47, 2:47, 2:48, 2:47, 2:44. The rain got harder as the workout went on. Shoes were completely soggy by 3rd one-I came home looking like a wet rat soaked from head to toe....hubby laughed at me. (The price you pay to run I guess)...Anyway I was really happy with my times especially in the cold and rain.

I drank a G series pro 01 prime before running these. (seems like a glorified gatorade-tasted a bit strong) Does anyone have anything that they really like to help with replenishing electrolytes or that they use to help with endurance while running??? Any suggestions would be helpful.

4.25 EZ on the mill

Did my last semi long run until the marathon!! Woohoo! Taper time begins now! Anyway-i got up and did 7 miles at 7:27 pace, then 5 at slightly faster than marathon pace. (First two miles down, 3 at the track). Splits for 5 fast miles were 6:17, 6:19, 6:30, 6:27, 5:59. (6:19 average) My plan was to do 6 (not 5) tough tempo miles, but ran out of time. Felt a bit tired today-didn't sleep well and I think the hard workouts are taking its toll on me, but thats ok bc now I will be tapering! Boo yaa!    Good luck to all those running Top of Utah tomorrow!!!
