2019 Running Schedule

Feb - Mesa Phoenix Marathon (AZ): 2:37:45. Lingering flu didn't help, but I still got a PR.

April - Bonneville Shoreline Trail Marathon (UT). Mostly just going to be a training run. Finally got myself into the sub-4 club last year, so I'll just have fun with it this year.

May - Stillwater Half Marathon (MN). Goal race for Spring. Looking for ~1:12.

October- Chicago Marathon (IL). We'll see where I'm at in Fall, but probably will be looking for low 2:30s.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Stay healthy, make improvements, maximize my potential.

Personal:

I am a bioengineering PhD currently working as a post-doctoral research fellow in the Department of Neurology at the University of Utah, where I design and improve neurosurgical approaches for treating movement disorders.


Summer 2018 update: I'm lazy about copying over from Strava, so find me over there for day-to-day runs until I eventually get around to copying everything over here.

8 miles, between easy and marathon pace, :54, on a treadmill because it was very cold and windy by the time I got to run.

 

 

I count my weeks starting on Monday, so everything is shifted off by one day, just so my weeks line up on here.

Run on a track.  2 mile warmup at 7:00/mile, 8 miles at 6:20/mile, 1 mile at 6:00, 5 miles at 6:25 per mile (started to slow slightly after the tempo mile).  Wasn't fit enough yet to do this kind of work as this was my first week of marathon training.  I originally wanted 1 more altitude-adjusted MP mile and 1 more tempo mile, but I was pretty much toast.

Didn't get home until 9PM, and I was beat up anyway.

17 in 2:01, felt like crap.  First run of this long in some time, so it was expected.  Ran NSL/Bountiful/Centerville and my legs weren't at 100% starting the run, so I was not having a ton of fun over the last few miles.
