Out and back on the Strawberry Narrows Trail. Beautiful, rolling adventure. It was a little more than my legs wanted but this is probably as flat a route as you can find up here.

LONG RUN

Repeat of 2 weeks back. 25 miles at 5:56 avg. Ran with Iain, Jared Ward and Jason Witt on the Murdock canal trail, starting in Orem and running toward Lehi and back. Locked in to 5:55 and stayed there the whole way. 

Felt good; last 4 were tough. I only took 1 gu at 12.5 and a few swallows of water so I was feeling depleted by the end.

Track Workout

Lehi track with Matt, Reed, Jeff, Chris and Chad. 

3x1m (4:59, 5:00, 5:01) w/ 1 lap jogging rest (about 2:30)

Felt good today but the short recovery took its toll quickly. I wanted to do 4 but I'd had enough with 3. Reed ran the first 2 laps of the first one with me but the rest was solo. Matt did MP miles and made it look easy as always. Perfect weather.

Met up with Matt, Ian and Jason Witt for 20 on the Murdock. Standard out n back. First 13 at 5:55 pace avg. 3 @ 5:40, 5:40, 5:30. 4 more at 6:20.

Felt crappy. Couldn't get enough oxygen. Lungs are still full of phlem. Good to get in another 20 at a steady pace.

11 miles. Last workout of the phase with Nate, Matt, Trevor, Jeff, and Reed. 

2 mile warm-up to the tempo loop and 2 down. 2 x 3 mile intervals with 1 mile easy between. 5:32 avg for the first set, and 5:29 for the second. Felt great, finally kicking the cold/flu. Matt, Nate, Trevor, and I worked together. Crew is looking good.
