YESSSS! Today was my first run in almost two weeks (actually, it was the even first bit of physical activity in two weeks). I ran easy and felt really good! I feel like I am just picking up where I left off a little while ago. Time to ascend to volume and start getting some solid mileage under my belt. Man, these breaks feel soooo good. I feel like I have an all new excitement/hunger to run, and am anxious to really work hard!!! | | Comments(2) |

| Easy. Cold. I asked Wetmore what my mileage should be over the winter and he said 75-80/week. He said that being as "youthful" as I am, there is no need to increase mileage too quickly. Over cross, my la.rgest mileage week was 73ish and I was wiped. I never felt like that mileage was too little (in fact I thought it was a bit much at times). I think there is too much emphasis placed on numbers (such as mileage). Some runners can rip it up on 85 a week, while others need 130 (McD does 130/week in singles (even 115 the week of nationals)). That being said, I plan on pushing myself hard. Whatever mileage that takes me to is where I will stay. | | Comments(3) |

| Today was an easy run out at Coot Lake. There was a lot of snow on the ground so we stuck to main roads for the majority of our run. Pace was nothing special, probably around 6:30's. This next week I am targeting the 65-70 range, so I'll see how that goes. | | Add Comment |

Ever since finals started, the regular practice crowd has been dissipating. There were not too many people at practice today, so the stretching circle was definitely lacking. I ran with Tebo (Matt) for most of the run today, mainly because we both started to pick it up a bit. That kid is way cool, not to mention an awesome runner. I did four strides at the end. | | Add Comment |

I just finished finals! Yes! That almost feels as good as finishing a race, but not quite :) Haha I was a bit sore from my strides yesterday. I guess thats the first speed intervals I have done in nearly a month, so I guess it is to be expected. I have an AT run on Friday, so I will see how that goes. I feel like I haven't lost any fitness on my break, just some sharpness. | | Add Comment |

| I ran with my coach, Clint Wells, and a couple of other runners from BRC today. We went about 10.5 around Boulder reservoir. I felt pretty good, and at the end I picked it up a bit with Clint. It felt good to get moving a bit. | | Add Comment |

| This was the first workout I have done this season, and it felt surprisingly easy. I did a five mile AT run on the Highline canal. Unfortunately, the trail was a mix of slush, ice and mud. I ran 27:10, which was good considering the conditions. I would estimate these factors slowed me at least five to ten seconds/mile. Luckily I managed to fend off any big falls, but I came pretty close. Knowing this I am happy. I would say that this was worth around 26:30 in dry conditions, showing that this is the best shape I have ever bagan a season in. Additionally, I felt calm and realxed the whole time, never over exerting myself. I used to push AT runs a bit harder than true threshold pace, but not today. I felt smooth and relaxed the whole time. Next week I will do the same workout, so hopefully some of the mud and slush will subside. I love these workouts. They really build your aerobic base; an area that I still feel very weak in. | | Comments(1) |

| Awesome run today at Daniels Park! It was cold, and my throat hurt a bit, but besides that I felt really good. This is the longest run I have done in a while, and it reminded me of how long they drag out. Fun fun! | | Add Comment |

I felt a lot better today and got a good run in. It snowed a lot yesterday, so it was very hard to find some drier pavement. I did some 200 meter strides at the end. | | Add Comment |

| Today was a threshold run. I was contemplating doing this on the treadmill since it was 15 degrees out and snowy. I managed to find a loop (about 800 meters in length (actually 0.43 miles)) that seemed clear enough to run on. I warmed up for three miles then got going. I ran 26:44 for the whole run, and it felt pretty good. Similar to last week, I felt like the snow/ice definitely slowed me down (15 degrees did not help either :)). I think that had there been no ice and moderate temps. I would have ran 26:15ish. I did four 200 meter strides at the end and cooled down. Good workout! | | Add Comment |
