Ethan's runs

Today, I did our Cedar Ridge and then Golf Course routes, both extended. First route with Alex, Stockton, and Jordan, second loop by myself.  The front of my legs.. not sure what that muscle is... by my shins was tired, so hitting a solid pace was hard.. hardish day, but 6:58 pace. Good run.

Today, We did 4 (pretty fast) with Conner first, then Stockton, Jordan, and I did 4.5 more on golf course. I finished by doing an 800 with Trevor.

Started today out with an easy warmup of about 1.5 miles.

I ended my warmup at the start line for our church run out and back tempo course. I started pretty average, but held my pace pretty steady the whole way. It was 3 miles in 16:24 (5:28 average per mile) At first, It hurt, but I really settled in and it felt really good. I hope this is still the case for track season.

Cool down with Trevor.

Did the first several miles with Stockton and then he headed back to Sky View because he didn't have much time to run. I did a bit more in Smithfield and then ran back to North Logan. (6:56 pace)

Stockton and I ran out to the beauty and beast hill repeat area.  We did the beast x 3 and beauty x 3.  We did the beast in 57, 57, 57 and beauty in 29, 31, 29.  It felt really good.  Then we extended up Smithfield canyon a bit.

We got back to SV and extended a bit doing a 3 mile loop. I slept 7 ish hours... I think.

I did just over 7.5 up to the canal trail that leads to the Logan River golf course.  I looped back down through some neighborhoods and headed home.  It felt pretty good, (6:48 avg pace) Good week and comfortably over 50 miles.

Later, I did an easy 2ish with my little brother Carson.  He is in 8th grade and training for XC his freshman year.  I think he will run pretty darn well.  We hit a 7:19 average pace and he has only been consistently running for about a week and a half.  We'll have to see how his freshman year goes.

total guess on sleep time
 

First today, I did 3 miles with some of the guys, with 6 beauty repeats mixed in.  I hit most of them fast for me considering that on friday our best was a 29.  I think the splits were 27, 27, 28, 29, 31, 28 ( or something like that).  We headed back to SV and went out for another loop of 4 more. (7 total now). Conner left, and Stockton and I hit up 3 more.  Weights and Core after.  Long day, but definitely a quality run.

4 with Stockton, Conner, and Jordan hunt first.  It was a pretty fast 4 (6:19 average). A few striders, and then home. Hopefully a timed mile coming tomorrow.
 

Started out today with a 2 mile warmup.

After a warmup, we did a timed mile. Conner paced us because he was told to do 1 tempo mile today. Stockton and I were running it.  We started off really fast, I sorta let them get ahead and just sat back.  I closed the gap and caught/passed Stockton slipping in behind conner, We did our laps in a 1:11, 1:14, 1:15, 1:10.  Stockton caught me with 125 meters to go and had a solid kick, he ran a 4:49, I ran a 4:50. It felt really good and it makes me super excited for track because that was a 7 second PR. I felt like I had alot left in me although it definitely hurt.

Cooldown up smithfield canyon a bit

Today, we did the turkey trot 10k route with a few extensions.  Stockton, Jordan, and I.  It really hurt. bad. The hills seemed to just shred my legs, and it went on forever. I guess you just have days like that sometimes.  We put down a good effort yesterday, so this was more or less expected.

Today, my run was split into 2 runs because I didn't have much time... First run @ 6 AM before school.  It wasn't too bad, just kindof slow as I was still waking up, had to run with a headlamp yet it was pretty dang warm.

After school, Stockton and I did a pretty quick 3.  I was feeling much better than yesterday, but still a bit tired.

Drove up to the bonneville shoreline and started there. I ran to the logan river trail head and up about a mile and a half, then turned around and did a trail tempo mile (5:51).  The rest of the way back was hilly. Kept the average pace at 7:02

ish

(not positive on the sleep time)

We went up on the golf course route today, my legs were a bit tired but its a monday... Extended up Birch and Smithfield Canyon, good run and fairly fast. (probably due to running with Conner the last mile and a half...)average pace was a 6:49

Upper canal trail today, its been a while since I ran there last so it was fun. Muddy but pretty quick (6:49 AVG) Maybe some tempo tomorrow?

Today I started with roughly 2 miles of warmup. After this Jordan, Stockton, Conner and I got lined up and did some tempo. Conner paced me for the last mile and it really brought my pace down.  Stockton and Jordan stopped somewhere around the mile mark but then hopped back in later. 3.2 miles of tempo 5:30, 5:25, 5:13 and a 39 200... 16:47 5k.  It felt pretty good and I tried it in spikes. Cooldown after.

5 outside today and 3 inside. Outside went well but I had to bundle up, 6:57 pace. 

Indoor my three miles went 6:22, 6:26, and 6:20. 

Started with a warmup with the guys, then I planned on doing triple crown (hill repeats).  Conner talked me into doing miracle makers for the first time.  It hurt.  More or less, its 3x mile repeats up some of our steepest hills (smithfield canyon, beauty, and beast).  You run them pretty hard and try to keep the pace low.  I ran 5:33, 5:24, and 5:16.  It was one of the more painful workouts I've done, but I feel like It's going to help alot. Cooldown back to SV.

Slept way in today and my legs are shot.  Nothing unexpected though.  I'll be back for monday after a rest tomorrow. Easy day and easy pace 7:16

10 miles with stockton.  We ran to his house to get some gloves and then headed up Smithfield Canyon via sunnyside.  10 mile run total. 1 mile tempo (5:13), half mile break, and then a final tempo half mile (2:28).   6:41 average

(guess on sleep time)  Ran with Trevor, Stockton and Jordan for the first four on golf course, did the next half on the way home.  Ran second half with Jordan.  It was a pretty good run, and we got chased by a tiny dog.. 6:56 pace

started today off with a 2ish mile warmup, and then started my 3.5 mile tempo.  The tempo was slow, 5:39, 5:38, 5:49, and a 2:50 final 800.  finished with a 2.5ish mile cooldown to make 8, Saw Trevor and Jordan on the way

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Met up at Conners house today to go for a snow run, Im so glad it finally snowed!  It was pretty darn cold. I felt good, but my legs started really hurting toward the end on the last few hills.

My first 2.7ish miles I didnt GPS, but we figured the total was close to 10.  6:57 average pace.

Hill reps today, Went up to USU and started there.  Ran down to the island and did 6 hill repeats on a shorter hill there (similar to beauty)  29, 29, 29, 29, 30, and 26.  I then went to another hill (in my opinion harder than the beast) and did 3 reps at: 1:19, 1:14, and 1:20.  Cooldown to make 8

Slept way in today and then went for my run.  Just for the record, a bowl of wheaties and a piece of pizza for lunch wont fuel you well for a run...  Did a run up to green canyon and back, it hurt but I think that is because I am sick. Had to stop to put on my yaktrax partway up. (7:19 pace)  I got some xc skis for christmas that I cant wait to take up green canyon!

Ran this morning and it was pretty cold.  My hands have been getting unusually cold lately so I need to figure that out.  I listened to music for the first time in forever and It made running a ton easier.  It was a really good pace for me also at 6:38 average.

Finally got some new shoes. Saucony mirage 4's.  They are OK but they pinch my little toe a bit.  I tried them for the first time today and they are really springy.  I love how they feel.  I ran 4 with conner and the rest alone indoor today.  The weather outside was horrible.  It was reasonably quick for having to do 118 laps haha....

3.5 miles of tempo withtin 5.7  It was really cold and I was spitting blood partway through the tempo (I think/hope it was related to the cold weather...).  The tempo went alright especially mile 1 and 3, but mile 2 was awful.  mostly uphill on mile 2.  splits were 5:37,  6:03, and 5:28 with a 2:50 ish final 800.  Went for 4 miles of nordic skiing after.

after skiing, I did 2.3 more miles on the treadmill to make 8 total.  pretty brisk but not too bad.
