Airport Loop

Ran a course PR today

Time: 54:38

It felt pretty good. I was going for a 57:00 time but I saw that I was on course to break my previous best so I went for it. Today felt like my High School days when I ran fast every day.

I would appreciate any input from anyone on what you think of my plan. My goal is to be well rested.

Fence Run with 8x100M Farlek @ 6 Min/Mile Pace. Slow Miles were @ about 8 Min/Mile Pace. My legs were tired from the 2 hours of Basketball from last night.

Airport Run. Did first 1.5 and last 1.5 @ about 7:30 - 7:40 min/mile. Ran the middle 4.9 @ about 7:00 - 7:10 Miles

Total Time: 57:18

Very Busy day. I couldn't find time to run until 9pm and it was still raining. Took it easy.

Today I ran on the Jordan river Parkway again. It was nice and chilly starting out which caused a lot of cold, tight muscles. I has a hard time warming up and getting into a rhythm. I figure I did the 4 slow miles at about 8-min/mile pace with the fast miles at about 7:00 to 7:30 pace. I am feeling tired and worn out and I am looking forward to a taper this next week for the TOU.

Total Time: 56:20
