Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials

Ran on the snowy trails at my cabin. Pretty hard stuff, gets your heart going. 7:35 average pace

3 and a half on the road toward Oakley and then back, 7:20 avg pace

Easy distance run toward willow park, 7:25 pace. Fun to run with the guys again, threw some snow. Collin put one down my back, good times. Got back and lifted upper body and did a 45 min bike workout

3 miles out to Freedom and then back, pretty easy pace with a 6:30 5th mile. Did some strides and a lil more to get to 7. Lunges and 30 min workout on the bike, good day

Fun 7 mile run up and killers and loop back around. Sean was in town so he ran with us, that was sick! Found out after that each mile was faster than the previous one, starting with 7:30 and ending with 6:10. Did a little lifting then a bike workout

Out and back on state street and then strides. My day's been pretty crappy so I let it out on the run. Watch died, first 4 miles were 6:45, 6:35, 6:15, and 6:05. Last couple were probably sub 6. Then 10X100m strides on the track. 25 min bike workout after

3 miles at 7 minute pace, then pre meet for tomorrow. Starts and 2X200. First 200 was a 30, didn't get the second one but it was right around there. Did a couple more miles to get to 6. Legs felt pretty tight, biked easy for 15 min to try to loosen them up

3 and a half mile warmup. Gun went off and I started off alright but ended up in last after the first 400, a 67. Got the legs going and closed in 65, got 4th. Raced pretty slow, felt like I could've gone at least 3 seconds faster. Didn't have the right mindset cuz the meet was about 9 frikin hours long and the 800 was third to last. Achilles flared up so I cut the warmup short to half a mile.

Turned around after 2 cuz Achilles was giving me problems. 45 min on the bike.

Did a quarter mile on the track to see how the Achilles was feeling. Felt better, but not good enough to go. Cheered on the team while they did speed then hit the bikes for the workout, ended up being an hour.

75 min bike

Did a mile then the bike workout for an hour. Swam about 10 laps at legacy later

A couple easy miles with a hard 400 after the first mile, no pain so that's good. 60 min bike workout

Went to BYU to watch. Ran with the guys for a little on their warmup and cool down. Shout out to Thom, Collin, and the twins for running a killer first race. And good job to the LP guys too they were flyin. And Garek cuz he won and it's pretty sick when he beats Casey. Fun to watch and cheer, it was a stacked race. Wish I could've raced but excited for the oval

Did a swim workout tonight with Austin. First time, so it was pretty hard but fun. 4 sets of 50m aqua jog, 50 m freestyle, 50 meter back

Nice 3 miles down by the farms, couple strides. Achilles feels fine, pumped for a little speed tomorrow.

Went to legacy center for bike workout. Took it pretty easy. Just over 11 miles in 45 min. Heart rate only got up to 140s

Half mile warmup. 3X800m at indoor 2 mile pace with 2 min active rest. Shot for 2:25s, splits were 2:25, 2:22, 2:24. Felt fairly good. Cooled down to 4. Did the other 3 and a couple more on the bike, 30 min.

Cross train day, relaxed bike workout for 60 min. Hurdle drills after for flexibility. Speed again tomorrow.

1 mile warmup. 2 sets of 400, 600, 200 with 5 min rest before the second set. I don't know what the rest was in between each one but it was pretty short. First set at goal indoor mile pace, second set faster. Splits were 65, 1:42, 33 for the first set, 66, 1:40, 29 for the second. Me and Collin were kicking in the last 200 and neither one of us could pull away, love when that happens. Felt great, was able to do the whole workout without any pain. Cool down to 4 then 45 min. on the bike. Ready to get back up to mileage, but playing it safe cuz it's still early in the season.

4 miles, including 5X150m build ups. 60 min. bike workout. Felt horrible today

3 miles to the school, 30 min. bike WO, 3 miles home

3 miles to highland and back. Jake and Parker were kind enough to go back with me so I didn't have to do the last 3 by myself, had the lowest mileage in the group today. Didn't wear a watch which is nice. 45 min. on the bike after

2 mile warmup. 10X200 at mile pace with 90 sec active rest, basically just me and Thom today. Splits were 31-33 for the first 8 with a 29 on the 3rd or 4th one. Last 2 were both 28s. Pretty easy workout so I wanted to go faster but coach said to keep it controlled. Cool down to 6 miles and 20 min on the bike.

High mileage cross train day so that sucked. An hour and 45 min on the bike in the burning furnace of death. I'm so behind in my scripture reading so I listened to the about 20 chapters and that kept me super pumped. Did some lifting after.

5 min on the bike then 3.75 miles. Pre meet strides, 2X800, starts. 800s were right on pace, 68s. Cooled down with the girls, went back with Sami which was fun. Only 10 more minutes on the bike after cuz I had a dentist appointment. Calves are super wrecked from raises yesterday.

1.5 mile shake out run during conditioning. Got to the oval and warmed up a mile. Stomach felt really crappy. I was in the second row of heat 2, gun went off and I got out horrible near the back. Just stayed there for the first couple laps then moved up and passed a bunch of people. I think I could've won my heat but I wasnt up where I should've been for most of the race. 2.5 mile cool down to get to 6.

Turned around at .75 cuz my Achilles was being weird and my calf was super tight. Got back, rolled out, and changed into the rides. Did 4 and a half more to get to 6, no more problems. Felt good for day after race, pace was 7:05-7:10.
