Personal:

Pine View High School class of 2008! (just graduated May 23). I became a runner my sophmore year when I started Cross Country and I have been running ever since. Ran XC and Track 3 straight years. I love road races and all that cool stuff. 

I'm going to serve an LDS mission in Tallahassee Florida, August 13, speaking spanish.

 

August 2010- Just got back! Mission was great. I ran a little, maybe a total of 25 miles the whole 2 years. haha.

We'll see when I hit the streets again.

Race: Hurricane Invitational (1 Miles) 00:05:23
Total Distance
3.00

12 minute warm up 1.5miles. Felt good.

1600 I was so tired and I didn't push through it at all. Started fast but slowed down a lot after that. Need to work on my form (my arms got really tired) and pushing myself and endurance. I want to break 5:20 in the mile soon because I am always running 5:20 miles. Better race than I thought I could do. 

1- 1:11  2- 1:22  3- 1:27  4-1:22

.5 cool down. Very tired and tight calves.

It was a good weekend. My hip felt good, my knee hurts sometimes and it's still fat, but I think I'm ready to get back into it hard and start getting better.

Good runs man! You really helped me on the mile.

Good job on the mile today Jeff. Just stay consistent with your training and your times will start coming down, remember you guys haven't even done any speed stuff yet and the season is still really early.

Just looking at the splits the first lap was probably a bit fast, which usually happens in high school races when you have a bunch of guys taking off and you usually have two or three kids that are pushing the pace that don't fully understand what pace they should be running.

I think for you and I don't know much about your training or racing, so I could be way off, but I would focus on running 1:20's or more equal splits, which based off this race would make your first lap quite a bit slower, but would be right around where you ran your 2nd and 4th laps.

In my experience the 3rd lap has always been the most difficult, but if you can learn to hit that lap at your goal pace, then I think in most races you should have enough competition and excitement to finish the 4th lap strong.

Anyway, sorry for the lecture, but I'm expecting to see a sub 5:20 next meet and lower 5's by the end of the season. I also think you should go after that goal of breaking 11:00 in the two mile.

Good Luck!

Decker- Thanks. I wish I could have stayed with you at the end more.

Dustin- Thanks for the advice and encouragement. Don't be sorry about a "lecture" I'll take that advice.
