Ethan Cannon

AM: 11.5 miles with Aidan. It was cold and snowy so we did the first fives miles inside. Then we ran some more inside later. We also did six strides. They were shorter than I usually go. I should probably time my strides. They shouldn't last longer than 15 seconds. 

PM: 5 miles.

I’ve grown quite fond of the indoor track. Perhaps it has come because we practice at 5:00 and it never looks appealing to run outside then. Hopefully it can warm up a bit in March so I can practice outdoors before my race. Today was mile-800-mile-800 and then maybe another mile. I only did the first four. I felt pretty tired on the second mile. I feel like my longer running is good and my 800s are solid too, but I need to work on being able to run a fast miles. I ran 4:38 (5 min rest), 2:12 (4:30 rest), 4:40 (5 min rest), 2:09. There were lots of people on the track. I took a second off for the reps I was dodging people on. If anything it probably cost more than that but oh well. Idk what to make of this workout. Not insanely good but not bad either. 

11 miles. Felt pretty good.

Idk if I was tired from Tuesday or I mentally wasn’t ready to actually run quickly, but that did not feel easy in the least. 2:16 800, 2 min rest, then 400s in 63, 64, 62 with 90 secs rest. Definitely need to recover now. Felt really weird.

Just under six miles and then some strides. The strides felt fast. I still felt a little tired, but I think I'll be good to go tomorrow. 

Good race. I went out with Michael Ottesen, Connor Weaver, and then was surprised that Garett Barton and Kenneth Rooks hung on, too. We were pretty consistent and didn’t start too fast. In fact, we may have Been like 4:41 at the mile. I realize how much it helps to have people cheer for you. Someone kept yelling at Kenneth that he should go faster and pass me or something. I’m not blaming them at all, it just kind of gets to you, especially when you hear it almost every lap. It was kind of unique to run 15 laps. The whole thing didn’t feel that hard. They sped up with 400 to go but then let up a bit so I knew I had a shot at beating everyone except Michael. Apparently this converts to somewhere between 8:17 and 8:24 because it also isn’t banked. Idk, I was just there for the race. The PR is just a bonus.
