Progression Daily

Busy goofing around and taking care of T-Bone all day. Got out late and didn’t feel Sammy vibes. Still got something though. 2.01 miles 

Started my own way and ran into Hooper, Sophia, and Kevin. Ran some miles on the Mayor’s Loop with them before flipping back home. It appears everyone is picking up biking for their New Year’s Resolution. 9.3 miles 

Ran part of the loop then added some weird neighborhoods into the mix. 3.14 miles 

Poor Decision Were Made. Team met up to run Little Black Mtn. For some reason I thought that meant meet out on River Rd exit. I waited there and realized it would make more sense to carpool from Warner. So I found a shortcut in between the 2 routes. Found a couple of groups, should’ve run with them, but wanted to find the upper minutes crew. Never did find them…..so then I ran to the parking area just in time for all the cars to be rolling out. Feel dumb for not just sticking to a group once I found the team. However, still had a good time and run. 11.44 miles 

Felt weird running with the team again. Had to push a little more. Out towards Red Cliffs Dr and looped back home. 4.27 miles 

15 warm then some “ons” and “steady”. Ran 3 sets with Makiah, Colby, and Zac. Gave Bridger my best 300. Then chill minutes with Mama W, Nico, and AJ. 6.72 miles 

Up to GS with the boys. Added a little on my own. 5.02 miles 

Warm up with girls. Hit some jog into accelerations with Benjamiah. Hit some 120s with T-Madison, Joseph, and All-Legs. Then some more 120s with Em. Some cool. 

Friday Run with the Boys. Ran down then towards PVMS. Added some laps with AJ. 5.05 miles 

Leg 9. Quickly decided I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the boys so I backed up to the girls. Flipped at 4 with Em and cruised. I encouraged her to leave me once the strides kicked in, she had no problems doing so. 8.25 miles 

Ran an illegal Newd loop. Then some random stuff while waiting for the team. Felt like I was sprinting just trying to stay close to the boys. Feet hurt. 10.12 miles 

AM- Cold run then learning weights with T and T. 2.65 miles 

PM- Progression. Weird warm up then 4x5:00 progression with Mikiah and Colby. Tried to give Bridger my best 400 in his last progression, lasted about 250 meters before he said “later Steadman”. Cool with boys and random groups. 5.45 miles 

Wanted to push the hills through GS to Middleton and stay with the top group but wussed out and ran with the Silvers. Glad I did because I probably would’ve fallen off the group anyways. Talked some football, hit a stride then reconnected with Tall T and the Boys. Extra coach laps with David. 6.02 miles 

Late start. Did my own warm. Mixed a little speed but nothing crazy at all. Hit a 300 with AJJ, couldn’t hang. Cooled with boys. 4.19 miles 

Should've got out but didn't. Felt kind of sick 

Hiked 11 miles with Ross and Bros from Red Mtn TH to Ivins 

Took Friday and Saturday off so I had to get something in today. Hit some new roads in Bloomington, just jogging around. 3.25 miles 

Prospector. Trevor hears but doesn’t listen so I had to play catch up. Fun route! Flipped with Benji for a second then once he had Dusty and Gas to run with I headed back out with Em and Mama W. Then flipped with “the best group”. Dropped them off near the finish and went back for more. Ran fast with Em for a couple of minutes then ran with some different groups trying to add minutes. Found a frisbee and threw it at Liam. 8.45 miles 

AM- Chilly Tuesday Morning with the boys. 2.72 miles

Didn't run this afternoon because I stayed home to help a sick Trey. 

4x4 (Kind of). Warm up with girls. Hit 2-3 minutes with AJ crew. Then 3 more sets with Zacarías, just shaving off a little from the 4 minutes. Cool with the boys. Good energy today from the crew! 6.1 miles 

AM- Decker neighborhood run with some boys. 2.88 miles 

PM- Wal-Mart Loop. Hit a run while Trey was napping. 4.57 miles 

Got out during Trey’s nap. Out towards Sun River. Missed my calf sleeve, left calf felt off. 6.01 miles

Started 4 minutes with Mama W, then some minutes with top boys, Dusty, Zac, Buff Joe's crew, and wrapped up with a lap trying to push the top group. Didn't cool in an effort to get home faster for my other responsibilities. 7.05 miles

Dog Pound. Town towards Sullivan. Flipped with Silvers. Then some coach laps. 6.14 miles 

Beyond Artic Circle with the boys, lead majority of the time. Coach laps once back at the school. 6.54 miles

Out towards the old people land. Old people walking= nice, old people on bikes= not nice. Took off during Trey’s nap. 4.52 miles 

Fossil to Dam Loop and Back. Pushed with the boys for 8 miles and felt really good. Just couldn’t keep up on the last couple of strides. Great confidence booster moving forward. 10.49 miles 

Ran City Creek and Parts of Owen's Loop.
 

Got some miles before running with the boys. Trailed Dusty for a little bit then moved up to top boys. Cranked my ankle at one point and fell behind around 8 miles on a steep hill. Had to go looking for lost people. Saved Avery’s life. 10.61 miles

Ran one of my best long runs in a while. Started out at Sullivan out to Crimson, hit a lap, then by the temple. It was around this time my soul was crushed.

We almost got hit by a big truck. Endured the last 2.5+ miles. Calves felt really tight. 11.55 miles 

Warm Up. 2.06 miles 

My goal was to race with Jake but he wasn’t having it and even yelled: “No!”, when I asked him to wait for me. I really like this course. I did my best to push up the hills, knowing I’d cruise the downhills. Thought AJ was an old man Durst (or some guy) chasing me. 3.05 miles 

Cool Down. 1.82 miles 

PM- Mile post searching in the gorge .11

Run to the truck- Ran to the truck to beat the traffic on leg 1. .70

Leg 2- Felt paranoid that Mr. Hooper (or his teammate) were close so I ran smooth and hit some solid speed (for me). Actually really enjoyed this leg and the fact that it was shorter than advertised. 6 miles / 6:47 mi

7:24 (2024)

Leg 4- I’ve run this leg like a million times so I just put on cruise control and rolled. Almost punched a lady’s car for pulling out to far at a gas station forcing me into traffic. 5.14 miles / 6:52 mi 

7:11 (2024)

Leg 6- Started to feel tired but just kept the pace at low 7s. Kept leap frogging the same team over and over. They’d pass Ross on his leg then I’d repass them on my leg. Solid crew from SUU. 3.79 miles / 7:05 mi 

7:15 (2024)

Leg 8- Historically the 4th leg is where my body has started to really slow down/cramp/hurt. I kind of expected it this year. I just tried to stayed positive and keep that pace consistent. Plus I had team #8 to pass again. 3.94 miles / 7:11 mi

7:20 (2024)

Leg 10- Started right off with team #8’s best runner. I let him go and just tried to run smooth. Legs definitely were ready to be done after 1.5-2 miles into this leg. Similar to the last miles of a marathon. Plus there was a huge hill that I didn’t even attempt to run. No cramping but felt dizzy and slowed down a ton. I knew I just had to make it to the dyke then I’d survive. Luckily I had Sam Fish and Quinton Read to help me get to the finish. I would’ve probably pushed harder but felt no paranoia knowing Ross and I had 2-Man locked up. Great race day! Tons of fun with SGSilverbacks and old DSU teammates. 6.86 miles / 8:20 mi 

9:01 (2024)

Headed the opposite direction on the JRT. Made it to Taylorsville and had a dog sprinting at me. I was ready to throw hands/paws but it backed off. Picked up the pace on the trek back to West Jordan so I could pass a dude. Hamstring didn’t like the acceleration so I eased off. 9.01 miles

Didn't get the classic Sunday Long Run.....not gonna throw out any names. Needed to get out for something, track meets and life getting in the way of my runs. I only had 40ish minutes before church so I did 15x1 minute pick ups to get a little more mileage by bringing that pace down. 5.5 miles

*Might’ve did something to my hernia by trying to huck front flips on a tramp to impress a 3 year old.

Warm Up. Run to start line. .30

Day 1: Idaho Half. Won vs Ross. Felt tired but just tried to keep a 7:50 average. Ran a 7:07 last mile to keep that average. See how Day 2 feels….. 13.13 miles

Ross Mess Around

Last adventure together this week. Went looking for some Sadducees Spring or something. Ran up a mountain then got some fun and sucky downhill. Then a long trek back to the cabin. A tick climbed on me at some point during the run. 10.38 miles 

AM- Little morning jog on a trail by Utah Lake. Tried to get the legs moving but settled for slow. 8.6 miles 

PM- Ran with Dirty Metler and the Boys. Rolled my ankle half way through just when I was hitting my stride. 3.02 miles

Kind of ran with Elin, Zack, and Tevye. Then a couple minutes trying to keep up with Tevye and Holt. Finished with the top boys. Wanted more miles but called it good at 40 minutes 5.13 miles 

Knew it was going to be a fast course because of my marathon experience in that canyon. Tried to be conservative but also crush the downhills. Things went pretty well other than a blister on my right heel that I was aware of from 4-5 miles. Then I had some “hernia coughs” around 8-9 miles that really slowed me down. I survived the last 4-5 miles and just kept it under 7 (which is a skill I’ll need for STG).

Running through the forest and chasing deer on my way to the cabin. 1.36 miles 

Wussed out at starting with Metler in Veyo. So I dropped him off and got to the top of Veyo. The entire run I struggled to find a rhythm. Glad I got some chunk miles but bummed I couldn’t get a little more out of it. Threw in the towel once I got dehydrated and tired. 15.34 miles

Ran with them until I ran out of energy again. Ran with Avery and Sariah for a couple minutes. Finally I doubled back and waited for Em. Ran a fast last 7+ minutes with her.

Just focused on what it means to run fast. I definitely hit a PR today but Strava didn’t see it that way?? I clocked a 7:16 which I thought would be like a 7:15 on here but it’s not showing that. Oh well, I know my effort was better. 5.75 miles

Ran close to Sydney Smith as she charged hills and avoided a fall. Then I tried to keep up with Sariah Jones on the return trip. Had some casualties today but overall a great Saturday! 8.39 miles

PM- Run up a trail by our campsite. Very sandy and slow. Found a hiking trail that looked interesting. Explored a little then back to camp. 3.23 miles 

Started on what I thought was designated trail. Ended up on a slow deer highway. Found an actual road and sped things up. 10.27 miles 

AM- Spent the first hour running/climbing ridges. I was hoping to see elk, big bucks, or get to Bryce Canyon. I saw the the Bryce Road but didn’t want to climb another ridge. So I went to find a trail to speed up my run. Gained a 1,000 feet in elevation. 4 miles 

AM2- Got down to the main road and chased some dumb cows that should just stay put. Ran up to the start Dairy Hollow and the Pink Cliffs trails.

I think I broke a rib from all the jostling on the craziest downhill. I didn't even have to hurt Briger Jaggi for my rib pains. Found Andi and Laura and spent my last minutes with them. Felt super thirsty majority of the run. 11.26 miles

AM2- Dammeron Stretch. Ran 4.25 with Derek before turning around to hunt. Nothing crazy, probably should have run faster? 8.50 miles

AM- Turned a cruddy run into a decent one. For some reason I can't bring my pace down unless I do some 1 minute pick up things. Newd Wal Loop with random extensions. 7.25 miles 

AM- Ran a garbage loop before 15 minutes with the boys. Added 3-4 more miles on my own out by PVMS. Miles might be low this week. 7.05 miles
