Long-Term Running Goals:
See how long my knees hold up after collegiate running
Personal:
Grew up in St. George, UT where I ran at Desert Hills High School from 2012-2015. I spent the next 2 years in Rancagua, Chile as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Senior and member of the men's track and cross country teams at Utah Valley University. President/Founder of Mongoose Elite.
Back with the team again. We did 6.5 miles easy with another .5 mile or so of barefoot running on the turf afterwards. It was the first time I've run the ridge in a while so that was fun. I was a little tired, but I can feel the endurance building.
Saucony Kinvara 4 Miles: 6.50

Hi Kale! Nice blog. Do you have any suggestions on what to eat in the morning before a run? Thanks!

Hey Sam, thanks! Every morning about 20-30 minutes before practice I eat just a small bowl of cereal, like no more than a cup, with milk. Most cereals work for me, so I usually just eat whatever's out. I also make sure to drink a big glass of water. That usually does the trick for me, but it might not work for everybody. You just have to experiment with different things until you find something that works for you and gives you the energy you need without upsetting your stomach. Granola bars have also worked pretty well for me in the past. Foods that are high in fiber, like fruits and vegetables, don't sit too well with me, so you might want to stay away from those right before a run, but eat plenty of them after. Also, you should make sure you are getting enough food after your run in order to refuel your body, better preparing you for your next run. You are doing great Sam, keep it up!

And make sure to drink lots of water throughout the day as well!
