13.71 miles in the morning.
6.29 miles in the evening.
I woke up early and went to Acceleration. They pushed pretty hard today. I did 6 sets for a minute each at a pretty steep incline. I was a marathon pace (6:00/mile) for the first 6 sets. The trainers pushed the speed up to a 4:30/mile and then eventually a 4:00/mile pace with a slight incline. I did short bursts of speed for :15. I did some core excercises and then lifted some weights. This was a total of 2 miles. I wasn't feeling to bad after this and then went over too Logan High and met up with Cody, James, and Paul to do some speed work. It was nice to finally meet Paul and talk with him for a bit. I had never done 1000m runs before so it was something new for me. We did 7 x 1000m sprints with 1 min. - 200m recovery jogs. I stuck with Paul for all of them until I hit the last one at a touch slower pace. My splits were at about 3:12 until the last one which was a little slower. This calculates to just under a 5:10/mile pace. I cooled down with James and Paul by running up to Pineview Apartments and then back down to Logan High with Paul. I was pleased to hang with Paul today while doing speed work. He really pushed me. It was nice to gauge where I am at right now in my training. I enjoyed running with the Logan guys this morning. I will have to do it more often. I did 6.29 miles this evening at a slow 7:30/mile pace to put me at 20 miles for the day. |
