Sage Ducote,the runner; not The Runner,sage ducote

Ran 6.5 easy w bryan. Legs are still really sore from squaw, so i cut mileage. Also this is gonna be a 4 days week, so it was smart to run easier today

Day 1 of effort, great workout today. 80% and hills in the staggering wind. The tempo time was pretty slow, but my place on the team was stellar (6th), and the effort was definitely there. The wind just made everyone slow today. Then the hills were 4x (15, 20, 15sec). But then coach said that he would blow the whistle once the back guys got to a certain marker on the hill, so they ended up being more like 18, 23 seconds. On the second one I fell hard, but I blasted up and finished second behind kasey lol, because during a race you gotta recover if you fall. Good stuff from everyone today

Day 2 of effort today. Twas a good one. 12x400m with 45sec rest, first 4 at 10k pace, next 4 at 5k pace, last 4 at 3k pace. I did these a little too quick, averaged 73's for the 10k set, 70's for the 5k set, 68's for the 3k set. Goooood stuff

Day 3 of effort today, good workout again. Good ol 60% in the wind, with strides 10 strides after. We did a revised route. We started on farm run, but then instead of turning left into the deathtrap, we turned right to end of the world. Splits were 5:56, 5:58, 5:52, 5:45, 5:50, 5:39, 5:33, 5:32. Good negative splitting, haven't done that in a while. Strides were good after; good to train the body to go faster after a hard effort.

Last day of effort this week, some good hard speed. Warmup, drills, strides, and the workout was 2x (400, 300, 200) w 2min rest, 4min rest between sets, then 6x150 buildup, where we start the first 50m at about 1500m pace, then all out the next 50m, then cruise in the last 50m. Good effort today, first set went 64, 47, 29, second set went 63, 47, 28. Didn't time the 150s. Gooood stuff today

Ran 3.5 down in st George, gonna run more later today
