Wheeler Farm Loops

AM - 8 miles.

PM - 6 miles.

Took the mountain bicycles up to Park City for a spin on the mid-mountain trail. Rode from Deer Valley to the Canyons and then looped back for a picnic at Silver Lake Lodge. About 3 hours of riding. Stopped for ice cream with a couple miles to go. The early miles of the trail are great, but we forgot how the section between the border of PCMR and the Canyons is way too rocky and somewhat unpleasant... I actually completely flipped over the front of my handlebars yet somehow didn't do any damage other than a cut on my leg. Still trying to figure out how I pulled that off.

AM - 10 miles.

PM - 7 miles.

AM - 12 miles.

PM - 6 miles.

AM - 12 miles. LT Reps: 8 x 1000m (200m) in 3:14.8 avg. HHS track.

I figured 3:15/km was probably a reasonable starting point and kept the reps very tight around that mark. During the rest of July and August I'll extend the duration of these repetitions and hopefully drop the pace at the same time.

First actual workout attempt since May 31st, and first completed workout since a week before that. Wow.

PM - 4 miles.

AM - 10 miles.

PM - 8 miles.

AM - 9 miles.

PM - 8 miles. 7 + 10 x 30s uphill. Good effort. Consistently made it a bit further than I've gotten the last two times I've done this, and stayed more relaxed. Re-discovered an extra gear on the last one. Hopefully there are still several more untapped gears.

You had to figure based on how she was running that it was a matter of when/where and not if Molly Huddle would take down her AR this year. Monaco was the place, 14:42 the time. A lot of fast running today, especially for the USA mid-d squad. I wonder if track would be more popular if people were actually aware of these Diamond League meets? Probably not, but it's fun to pretend.

AM - 21 mile long run. Jeremy Ranch, double out and back. Kept the effort easy, averaged ~7:20/mile. Pretty warm for most of this with a later start, but the extra sleep was well worth it.
