Short-Term Running Goals:

-Qualify for the 2024 Olympic marathon trials

Long-Term Running Goals:

-Run a few fast marathons. Grandma's, St. George, and Boston are on my target list. An Olympic Trials qualifier would be amazing.

-Break stroller records?

-Stay fit for a very long time. I believe what goes into making a competitive runner at age 60 is much different than age 20, just like what goes into making a good marathoner differs from a good sprinter. I hope that by taking care of my body, I can be very fast for my age as I get older.

Personal:

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I served a mission in Rome, Italy from 2015 to 2017. I eat a whole food, plant-based diet, which I believe helps my running. I like chocolate shakes on sunday nights and I will always call the Pacific northwest home.

Total Distance

11.50

This was to be my biggest workout between now and the marathon I have planned in August. For marathon training, it's just hard to get good specificity without putting in mileage worthy of a long run (I may have to start doing more real workouts in LRs). I started out with a 5 mile race pace* run from the bridge near the athletic complex, all the way to the playground on west river north. I tried to hit 5:40s, but didn't know what my pace would be until halfway, which I hit in 13:16 (5:19 pace). That was certainly more controlled than a tempo, but wasn't easy and I was glad to see I had been going too fast. Fatigue from the first part made running 5:38 pace the second half (27:20 or 5:28 pace total) harder. Took a total of <8 minutes off before running 2x1600 with what ended up being equal recovery. I was happy to hit the first lap in 70 seconds. I ended up running 4:43, followed by 4:39. Sure I closed hard, but the effort on the track to run that pace was surprisingly reasonable. I'm pleased with this workout. I'm reminded of my past observation that I feel like I can do a tempo, followed by track work, and feel basically fresh for the latter. We are at the time of year where morning weather in the low 60s feels really good out.
