Did a fartlek shakeout late last nite. Was inspired looking at some of the college cross country results. Obviously Josh McDougal did awesome, but I found two other guys who passed 86 people and 71 people in the last half of the race. David Chirchir of OK state and Jacob Gustafsson of BYU. I always love a conservative come from behind race, I basically love smart running in general. The top 30 guys ran negative splits, and then a few gems here and there.
I ran exploring industrial parking lots and just doing some speed play of various lengths, about an hour altogether. Felt really good, I've got to try and defend my win of Nick Yengitch 5K two years ago. That'll get you motivated. There's nothing like being in the middle of a race and thinking, "I can win this!" |
