Trails!

I ran the Jordan River Parkway again. Only not as far today. I felt like I was pushing myself pretty hard, but I kept my HR pretty close to saturday's rate. I feel good about it, because I was going 15-30 seconds/mi faster without feeling it (27:30 out 27:30 back).

Time: 55:00

Ave HR: 166

Car trouble. Had to hoof it.

Rode bike for 30 min in evening.

Airport Loop with Dan

Time: 58:30

Ave HR: 172

Felt pretty good. The rest that I have received has helped my body recover from the aches and pains from the long runs

Goosner Loop with Dan

We did 8 1 min fartleks at 6 min mile pace. HR would jump from 165 to 180-185 during the fartleks. 2-3 min rest in between at 8 min mile pace.

Time: 35:35

Ave HR: 171

Goosner Short

Took it easy today. 8 min mile pace. I am feeling pretty good lately. I have started to taper a bit and it feels pretty good. I have kept up the intensity of the workouts, only lowered the mileage this week.

Time:32:30

Ave HR: 158

Wanted to do some faster miles so Dan and I raced a 5K against the clock.

First mile was a warmup then did a flat 5K course. Afterward, did the course again slow and ran home. I was trying for a 18:30 5K and did pretty good.

Times (1/2 mile splits)

2:50, 2:50, 3:20, 3:12, 3:00, 2:58, 0:34 Total Time: 18:42

Ave HR: 183 Max: 191

It felt great to run with some speed again, I figure that it didn't hurt anything to get out and push myself for a short amount of time.
