Excellent tempo run on the flat course, new record (5:55 pace) splits were 5:43, 6:06, 5:58, 5:54, 5:39 for the last 1/4, super zippy cooldown

EZ to gym, then to track, then 4X440. I thought I would put some in the high 60s easily, but I couldn't get under 70 until the fourth one. I guess I know why my 5K is so slow now! Time to add these to the rotation big time. 2 more 440s on the way home, one uphill, one downhill.

Toni talked me out of the reverse Powerhouse, but this one was almost as bad. We ran with Mike and someone else who I forget, and it was super slow going up the canyon (7:40) but they are all training for next week's Salt Lake Marathon with Mike going for the win. It got more interesting going down as Mike wanted to do 6X1 and I had left my Garmin at home because it was out of gas. I just kept up with him, which was a little challenging but not too bad, but he was doing 5:40s which is usually almost my VO2 Max pace so I was kind of surprised when I could even hold it on the 4th interval on the flat. We went slower on the 5th one and I was about dead so I hung back with Toni, but then he let his secret slip.

 Now I know how to beat the Tongan Tornado. No, more properly, I know how he will beat me. Once you are in his sights, it's too late. The drums start up and the staffs start hitting the ground and he just increases the cadence more and more until the job is done. Before I knew what was happening we were blowing past Mike at the end of the 5th interval and I was totally toasted. We jogged back to the park where I did a 65 second 440, thinking I was done, but Toni made me do another mile straight uphill and a mile back down, then I was truly done. Great workout.
