GOING THE DISTANCE

Am -  Easy 4 miles.  felt better than normal for a monday.

Pm -  Today we did a 1600m time trial.  Headed out on a rainy, windy, and cold warmup, and when we got back to school we had to chill in the school for 30 minutes cuz lightning.  Luckily we were eventually able to go out and run.  In the 1600m, I got out a bit quick, and had a 5 meter gap 150m in.  It was tough to push hard on the track just out of the blue, let alone not having anybody to push with.  I ended up 4:33 so it was decent.  Kinda bummed but my speed will for sure get better as we taper and do more stuff like this.  Also did a 200m sprint after.  I felt good and fast, but coach said I need to get forward more to get more out of my long stride.  There's always something to work on.  5.5 on the afternoon.  

Pm -  No morning run, it was awesome to sleep in!  In the afternoon did an 8 mile run then a mile of barefoot striders after that.  I felt pretty good running.  Hit up 32 cent Tuesday at first stop after with jake, mason, Skylar, Alex, and preston.  Jake showed us this broken gumball machine that continually spits out gumballs it's awesome.  I'm chewing on about 10 right now.

Am - easy 4, felt good

Pm -  Went over to Bloomington Hills Park for practice.  Just the varsity's were there cuz JV had races over at Snow Canyon, shout out to them.  We did some warm up, then got into a 15 min tempo which was really easy actually, at least for me.  Our splits were both 5:54 then kept that pace for 3 more mins.  We kept the pack pretty tight so that was good.  After that we got straight into our 20*100m alternating from all-out back to tempo pace.  I really like this workout cuz wow those 100's after are brutal.  I felt like I pushed hard, I wish I had somebody to run with on those 100's though.  It would help me go even harder.  Got 7.5 miles in the afternoon after some cool down.  Good day, word out.

Am -  Really starting to cut back cuz it's almost state.  Just did 20 minutes so 2.6 miles.  Felt good.

Pm -  Did team pics then went for 30 easy, except coach had a go quicker on the way back.  We wenter 4.1 miles into Green Springs.  16:30 up, 13:30 back.

Am -  felt good, it was easy.  2.7 miles

Pm -  We ran over to Foremaster Ridge to do some hill work.  The road up is about a quater mile I bet.  Workout was up 20s hard and rest 10s, repeated all the way to the top, so we got in 4 reps each time.  3rd time up I was just going balls out, I thought we were gonna be done.  Then we did a 4th and 2 reps in my body lost it.  My head was all lightheaded and I couldn't move my legs.  Sat down and chilled, then finished up the hill hard.  Running back to school my head was just pounding, and coach had me drink a Pepsi after.  That made me feel way better and I got a good lifting seshun in.  Finished up with 5.8 on the aftermoon.

Am -  Coach took some of us guys up to watch the college race in cedar.  Got up there around 9 and did our run, a chill 6.5 miles.  We were all feeling the hills from yesterday in our glutes, ha.  It was fun to watch the race!  Saw some old pine view guys race, Mike Finch, Tyson Boyer, Josh Decker.  Also like 5 other guys from region 9 who were seniors when I was a freshman so it was cool.
