Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials

AM- 3.5 miles, 6:55 avg then lifting

Mile warmup then 1.5, strides, drills. Workout was 2 sets of 3X800 followed by 400. 90 sec rest after the 800s and 5 min in between sets. Splits were 2:18, 2:18, 2:20, 63, 2:19, 2:25, 2:25, 66. 1.5 mile cool down

Needed a trail run so I drove to skyridge and ran on the trails up there. 11 miles, counting one as warmup, the rest was 7:02 average. Saw some of the guys so I ran with them off and on, second half by myself. The trails were kinda muddy still but not too bad. Lots of hills, saw some deer 🦌. Fun stuff today 

Ran to the dip trails but they were still a little to wet so I hopped on the MCT and took it to center st and down to the high school. Strides in the last couple miles, 400 in 72 then both 200s in 32. 6:35 avg pace, kinda fast cuz I had to get back for an interview. My legs are wrecked so simplot should be fun, I'll try and ice tonight

Got to the arena and did a mile on the track with a couple little strides. Warmed up another mile and a half with more strides. Gun went off and I settled into second position but let too many people go by the first 800. Didn't realize my pace was too slow until it was too late. Took the lead and tried to make up the lost time but it just wasn't going to happen. Kinda ticked at myself because I ran faster during xc practice but oh well, sub 9:20 is coming. I was the third qualifier for finals but I have sweethearts dance on Saturday so I can't race. Cool down to a canyon, found some sick trails but of course they were too muddy so I went back on the road. Still wanted to do three in the canyon so the cool down ended up being a little over 7, 7:10 average pace. Cool scenery but lots of hills, I am exhausted.

Mile warmup and drills. Down 200 S and past greenwood elementary in AF. Never really been down there so that was sick. Saw a couple deer 🦌 on the way back. Planned on going 7 but I was feeling pretty good so I did 9, 6:45 average. Brought the repetitions back out cuz they're the only shoe I have rn besides the triumphs

Mile warmup. Same run as last Saturday just longer. 7 miles at 6:35 average then a 6 mile tempo. My watch died with 3 miles to go so I used time to calculate the pace, 5:30 average for the tempo. Half marathon in 1:19:50 which is a PR, 6:05 avg pace. Felt hecka good today. Only my second time doing this run but I really like it. I'll have to apologize to my sweethearts date tonight cuz I'm pretty sure I'll pass out at some point
