Eight mile loop with 2300 East, Foothill-500 South, Guardsman, 1500 East, Sugarhouse Loop, 2100 South as the borders. I do this run often and start at various points due to its varying grade. Today, started at 1700 S and 2300 E and went counterclockwise.
Felt slow at first but then I felt good and decided to make it into a tempo/threshold run of sorts. Miles 7:56, 7:36, 6:38, 6:39, 6:46, 7:08, 7:20, 8:08. The first and last mile were warm-up/cool-down but also the steepest miles. 75-77 degrees so I was feeling the heat by the end but legs felt fresh and right calf soreness that appeared last week has disappeared. |
