Went out to Mount Rainier Nat'l Park today and hit the mountain trails, went on and out and back loop with 1500 ft of elevation gain ont he way out and then the same elevation lost on the way back, good workout to get a solid block of hill work at a steady gradual to steep in places incline, mashed my quads pretty good on the way down though im sure, 1:06 total run time approximately, most of it gained on the way up, i think it took 36 minutes to get to my turnaround point and then 30 to get back down. hurt my foot on a rock towards then end, pretty sore tonight, fun day of running though, really liked getting into the wilderness

absolute downpour tonight, got hailed on 4 different times, and was a little nervous as to how close a few of the lightning strikes got. I wanted to get a 3 mile tempo in, so even though the streets were flooded and i was taking sloshing steps up to my knees in places in the street torrents, i still managed a very good workout. 6.5 total with 1 mile warmup and 2.5 cooldown, my 3 or actually after measuring (i had to run right in the middle of the road for most of it because of the flooding), so it was actually about a 5k. here were mile splits:

1- 6:03.2

2- 6:01.2

3- 6:02.5

total-- 18:06, 6:02 avg pace if this was 3 miles, slightly faster if it was a 5k, which it was probably closer to, either way a great workout given the conditions

Ran the Equinox Half Marathon down Poudre Canyon in Fort Collins, Colorado. Race started at 7000 feet and dropped down to 6000 feet, all pretty much downhill. However, the altitude kicked my Iowa, low altitude butt. Felt really good at the start but by mile 4 I couldn't breathe, that caused me to start cramping in the leg and side because I couldn't get the oxygen to keep pushing. It was a trifecta of pain all stemming from my lack of ability to get enough air. I was at 32:13 through 5 miles and felt decent enough, but fell apart pretty splendidly to finish in 1:29:14. I had no real time goals going in. my goal was to be at least at GMP (6:55 pace) for the whole thing, so in that sense I succeeded. I havent put in any speed work and that was evident, instead i've been logging miles as I train for my 2nd marathon. So while it was not a great race and I was in pain, I feel like it was a good stepping stone and training run. got 2nd in my age group and 23rd out of 700 half racers, so I got some extra little award things, overall a very nicely organized race and the scenery and weather in the mountains was amazing...if only i could have enjoyed it more.

long run tonight of 18.35, felt kinda crappy at the start but slowly morphed into a good run, had to stop several times for traffic, to jump a fence, and to give a lady directions, kind of irritating to break up the rythym, but it happens, my trail was blocked with construction (hence the fence jump), so i had to improvise, otherwise I probably would have got my 20 miles, but i will take almost 18 and a half, time was 2:13:35, 7:17 pace, the way out was a lot quicker cuz of net downhill and wind at my back, it was pretty chilly tonight, mid-40s with 25 mph winds pushing the wc into the mid-30s, tried to eek out a few strides afterwards but I was pretty beat, took an ice bath, will probably rest tomorrow, 57 miles in 5 days this week is wearing on me

later evening run tonight after the sun had gone down, pretty cool evening, in the low 40s, kind of weird because i ran a new course tonight and just guessed where I thought 6.5 was and i measaured it out to 6.55 which makes my week an even 63 miles. On another note, 63 miles in a 6 day week is a personal best for me, my all time record for weekly mileage is 64, but that was in a week where i ran all 7 days, this week would have easily been 70+ if i ran a 7 day week, regardless, i'll take the PR for a 6 day weekly mileage run. tonight's mileage was slow, aound 7:25-7:30 pace, just recovery run, did 8 strides after, starting a precipitous taper as my marathon is 2 weeks from tomorrow

On a side note, in the last 7 days, i have run 72 miles, a new 7 day personal best for me and an average of slightly over 10 per day. Not even feeling it a whole lot, a little sore in places, but pleasantly suprised with my body's resiliency. taper starts tomorrow with a needed rest day before a 47-51 mile cut week, followed by a 28-34 mile pre-race week.

Finished my 2nd ever marathon this morning in des moines. Perfect weather, awesome course as usual. Here is the report.

Pre-race:

Woke up at 4:30 and had a white bread sandwich with a little turkey. Drove down to the race early to get a parking spot close to the start/finish. Given this is my hometown, I succeeded in finding a great, close parking spot. warm up was light, bout a half a mile of easy running. Wore a singlet, blue shorts and bright green arm warmers. Made exec. decision to go with my trainers, another oversight on my part was not getting a lighter pair of shoes beforehand and i realized i had done all my long runs in my trainers, so since I had foot issues on my first marathon, i figured i'd play it safe here, probably a smart choice. I Gu'd twice, at time instead of a mile, at 1:06:00 and 2:10:00.

Race:

Got started with a pack of people, perfect weather of 40 degrees and light winds. Was surprised to see the 3:05 pacer pass me in the first 2 miles, turns out he was booking it and probably dropped a lot of other runners. Here are my splits:

1-6:48.3

2- 6:47.6

3- 7:13.8 (all the hills are in the first half of this race)

4- 7:11.0

5- 6:52.1

6- 7:03.3 (41:56, 6:59 pace)

7- 6:58.3

8 &9- 13:37, missed the marker

10- 6:46.3 (1:09:18, 6:56 avg pace)

11- 6:44.4

12- 6:41.3

13- 7:01.8

HALF--1:30:31, 6:55 pace, felt amazing the first half, just easy running and the increase in pace was not accompanied with an increase in effort, I will make a side note to say that I had some GI issues early, just everything I took water, which i was at a lot of the early stations, good hydration was key this race, the water was upsetting my stomach, so at mile 7 i grabbed some gatorade and that actually seemed to calm down my stomach, something to note for future races

14- 6:47

15- 6:02.4-- Marker was off, likely a long one in the last 5 but i couldn't tell given my deterioration in pace

16- 6:40.7

17- 6:38.5-- on a beautiful, quiet trail here, was very positive and mentally and physically amazed at how good i felt

18- 7:15.8

19- 7:01.6

20- 6:59.9 (2:17:11, 6:52 avg pace, everything was going so well here...but this is where i crashed into the wall) it was intense how quickly things went from great both physically and mentally to bad. I ran the last 5-6 miles in a walk/run alternating, just couldn't avoid the stopping, just had to walk the aid stations and was in a lot of pain, miles 21-26 were this: 7:30, 7:40, 9:10, 9:03, 9:27, 8:52, 1:51 last .2, last 10k was 53:36, 10 min slower than my opening 10k, very, very disappointed in this outcome for the last 10k as i was feeling so good and was on pace to break 3 with ease, never underestimate the marathon

Final time: 3:10:47, 7:17 avg pace, not what I wanted, but a 15 minute PR given the issues in my first ever marathon, which was actually a more spectacular collapse than this one.

Post race-- pretty painful for a few days, but I am recovering faster than the first time, better nutrition, in better shape, overall more prepared this time, I need to learn how to run the last 10k of a marathon, I attribute this marathon collapse to my lack of long runs, i had a 16, a few 12-15s, but only one 18.5, just no time with work to get in longer, but that is when things started to go south, next time I will get at least 2 20s in. very key. Regardless, I am very proud to have finished #2 and i still set a PR for the marathon and probably for the 20 mile as well as I was very much intact at that point, may try to turn around and get another marathon in in a few weeks to see if i can capitalize on my "long run" of 26 being completed. really want to get this BQ past me.

My buddy wanted me to run this one with him. Seems like a good race. Nice job on the PR! You did great and am sure you learned quite a bit. Rest up!

Way to tough it out to the finish Jacob. Like all races, we learn something at each one. Keep the faith, stay strong when things get difficult.

Decided to run a local 5k today as I am in Phoenix and wanted to get some faster stuff in. 2 mile warmup, then go started a good 5 minutes late. started with a small pack, but I led from pretty much 400 meters in. I settled into my pace and just rolled the rest of the race. Had no mile markers so i had no idea where I was at any point. I just set cruise on a hard pace and worked on my stride. I was amazed at how smooth and easy the run felt. I am in pretty good shape because it felt like a hard tempo effort and nothing more. I forgot how much I missed leading and winnignr aces, even small local ones. I came through the finish and clocked at 17:20 on my watch. I won by a little less than 2 minutes, which is suprising given this race is the ASU homecoming race and I figured some good local runners would show up. Regardless, phoenix did not dissapoint. Weather was great--sun just set almost right as the gun went off and the 90 degree heat of the day quickly cooled and you could feel the cooling coming in as night fell, very comfortable 85 or so for most of the race with low humidity, which made it feel cooler. Afterwards, I ran all the way around the ASU west campus, which was a little over 3 miles, 8.3 total today. This was a nice check of where I am because I havent done any speed and I figured under 18 would be good, but I will take 17:20 all day and i hope to keep improving. Not sure if I won anything for winning, i bolted after the race so I could watch game 7 of the world series.

drove up to flagstaff tonight to get a workout in at elevation, i figured it would be tough but important to at least do a day at elevation--flagstaff is at 7000 feet. found some trails and just ran by feel, had a total time of a little over 1 hour, came back and measured my route online and it came out to about 8.35. good workout, but certainly tough as well as hilly

morning treadmill run today, gutted out 6.5,

221 for the month, making October an all-time PB for mileage for me, ran on 27 of the 31 days, so just 4 rest days, but still that averages to somewhere at or near 9 miles per day

ran by feel-ish tonight, knew it was over 16, but measuring showed it to be around 16.3, total time was 1:54:58, 7:03 avg pace, got a few splits here and there, on the way back I did hit a few around 6:40 pace, so i was probably all over the map, felt pretty good though for the most part, am suprisingly a little sore here now afterwards, did ice bath, but I think the miles are starting to pile up on me, good workout though

treadmill tonight in tulsa after a long drive. after a 3 mile start, I decided to drop the mill to 5:30 pace, was feeling really easy and and about 3/4 of a mile the breaker blew and the machine stopped--had to get the front desk to fix it, got back on the mill, did a mile slow, then dropped it to 5:27 pace for 1.5 miles, that is 8:10 for 1.5, which is around 16:47 5k pace. felt really pretty easy, i mean definitely a hard pace, but felt good to pound out some speed, finished with a 2 mile c/d for 8.25 total, overall good workout and indicator of fitness

Finally did a race I have always wanted to do tonight. It was a long drive (3+ hours) but it was worth it--it was one of the few races that is an afternoon start, which I love because I run better in the afternoons/evenings.  For future reference, normal coffee and breakfast followed by a turkey sandwich on white bread about 11:40. Took a half a GU before starting the race. My 14 year old brother came to the race with me and he ran xc this year, but hadn't really been training since and he still managed a 22:28, so he was pretty happy with that--3rd in AG. I started out pretty solidly, hitting my first mile in 5:25, followed with the 2nd mile in 5:43 (11:08), then finished up the rest in 6:29, 5:50 +39 probably, clocked a 17:38 overall. I had chances in the last mile to catch the 2nd place guy but did not have the kick. I got to within a few seconds of him but he ended up beating me by 10 seconds overall. I took 3rd place, a result I am content with. I feel pretty overcooked in terms of training--having been on this cycle since June--my legs just don't have quite the pop left and that is understandable-- I can usually get 5 months on a cycle and I've stretched every last bit of this one. One week left, gonna get a few more races in and then reset. Going to try to not eat wings the night before as well as my nutrition wasn't geat the last few days.

In Louisiana this week on business--saw a local 5k in Eunice, LA which is just up the road from lafayette where I am staying. It is their first annual Jingle Bell Rock N Run 5k. I saw they were chip timing it and offering prizes to winners, so I had hope that it may be competitive--but the registration also talked a lot about jingle bells and costumes, so I was a little wary of whether it was a fun run or a 5k where I could try harder. Turns out there wasn't a ton of competition, but there were a few other serious competitors there, they just weren't super fast. 6 pm start--dark and warm and humid (72 degrees!). I started off out front and lead wire to wire--it was pretty neat, they had a police escort paving the way which I followed the whole race--When I close my eyes, I can still see flashing blue lights as it was pretty bright. I felt a little sluggish, but decent--went through first mile in 5:25. Weird because that is the same exact time I hit last weekend in the 5k in Clinton. 2nd marker was a little long, I clocked 5:54, but was probably more in the 5:45 range, final 3.1 was 6:22, so likely 5:45 and change. I won by 3 minutes and it was a time trial from the start, so I had no need to push, but I tried to keep an honest pace and my final time was 17:42, almost a spitting image of last weekend's 5k. I think I may get one more race in on sunday before resetting my training cycle. Neat local 5k, met some cool people and even went on a cooldown with the guy who got second. Turns out for an award, I got a $50 gift card to walmart! Can't beat that--its as good as cash!

finished up the year today with an easy paced 4.1 miles (7:01 avg pace). That gives me 1705 miles for the year, 2nd all time for me by around 70 miles, this year saw me get back into racing, with 5 races, all mid-sept or after--i PR'ed at the marathon when I ran #2 in Oct. I also was able to get some good 5ks back in (including 2 that I won, 1 in 17:20), next year it will be time to capitalize on the foundation I set in 2014. My goals included 2000+ miles, a 250+ mile month, an 80 mile week, and sub 3 in the marathon. I'd also like to get back under 17 for the 5k. Happy new year!
