AM - 20 mile long run with 4-3-2-1 mile AT/LT reps (0.5). Splits - 21:56, 16:05, 10:31, 5:05. Tempo loop. 

I feel good about the last three workouts (since Boulder). Looking forward to racing again next weekend.

Dang man, you're really cranking out the long quality workouts lately! Good one.

I'm liking the approach of doing a long/quality run every 4-5 days (or thereabouts). Mentally I'm always very fresh for it, and honestly the idea of doing shorter/faster workouts isn't super-appealing (at least right now). Then again, the marathon is something of a long/quality run, so this should work, right? :-)

Yes. It almost seems as if you're training for some kind of endurance race where you're required to run a long distance at the fastest feasible speed.

Doing the PHX half? Got a crew doing the full, pretty pumped for it! What are your thoughts on the course?

From Jake K on Sat, Feb 21, 2015 at 17:07:41 from 70.208.3.13

Yep, back to PHX. The course is really fast. Roads aren't crowned, not many turns, gradual downhill gradient. It's pretty much ideal.

In the full, just use caution in the first 4 miles. Don't beat up your legs there and you'll be cruising after the only uphill section (5-6).

Good luck at the half.
