Tried a progressive on the Bellagio treadmills, how apropos :)

From the start it was super easy and it never got hard. By minute 26 I bumped it up a notch but it still didn't have any difficulty. The TM only went to 12.4 so I couldn't really pound it at minute 30. 9.1 tp 12.0, then 12.4

Ran from TOSH to JRT, then out and back 4.25 each. Felt like I was hitting the wall for most of this, worst long run of the winter. Oh well, better times coming. 7:07 AP

Super bad attitude on the TM this morning, bailed after a mile. So I ran a canyon at lunch! It was the Springville water tower one.

5.1 less than easy on the TM, then a fun .7 mile downhill run at the U

Progressive to see if the Vegas run was a fluke. It wasn't - I am actually getting faster. I did 13.2 for the last minute without too much trouble.

Run along highway 93. I was going to run across the desert but it turned out to be the Utah gunnery test range. Decided against it :)

1.2 each way easy to and from the gym in the morning. Then I tried an oxygen run at the acceleration center. 6x800. It went like this

11.8 up to 12.5, no O2 - not too hard

12.3, sea level O2 - easier

12.6, Dead sea O2 - medium

13.0, same - hard

13.3, same - very hard (max)

13.3, no O2 - crapped out with 45 seconds to go so

15.0, no O2 for 45 seconds - surprisingly not death.

Then I tried some of Isaac's speed intervals, I got 16 seconds at 10 MPH and 35% grade twice, holy crap.

Then we went and bought a treadmill in Draper so I had to test that at 12.0 to make sure it sounded happy. Now I am toasted.

Ran with the club up to Battle Creek overlook, great day. Nobody wanted to go down the back side so I did it anyway.

4x1, best ever - 11.8,12.2,12.5,12.8 but cur off at .72 with active recovery then .28 at 14. I could have easily finished the 4th mile but I wanted the super speed more. 1 mile with Lydia in the PM

Was feeling really good, decided to just run to HCC and back to the Gym. 33 didn't feel cold at all really.

Almost broke my record in Slide canyon when the overdrive kicked in late and removed the speed limit, that was something else. 1 mile with Lydia later, she didn't stop for the first time and got 10:04.

I was going to go up the canyon but I'm too light to make headway against the wind to I just ran to the 9th east stoplight in Provo and back
