Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials

Ran by myself cuz everyone else was going hecka slow. Did a pretty hilly run, including airport, the dip, killers, and the pit. Felt good after the first 2 miles, did some strides towards the end. Average pace for the 10.5 was 6:50, good training today. Biked for 20 min with 1 set of 5 min hol climb, 5 min downhill. Rolled out and lifted upper body with Austin

2.5 mile warmup. Workout was 3 sets of 300, 200, 100 at 800 pace with 90 sec rest and 5 min in between sets. Went kinda fast cuz Collin and Kris were pacing at about 1:50 pace. So that got me mad, good thing tho because my legs were feeling tired today so that got me motivated. Splits were 44, 30, 14, 43, 29, 14, 43, 28, 13. Still fired up on the cool down, so I went sub 7 for 4 out of 5.5 cool down miles. Biked for 20 min with 1 set 90, 60, 30 with 90 sec rest. Squats, calf raises, and lunges after.

Went trail running with Tyson. Found a sick trail by AF canyon. Had some crazy hills and a huge mountain at the end, switchbacks up that and it was killer. That mile ended up being 11:15. Turned around and found our way back, surprisingly cuz there were a bunch of different trails. Sketchy run, really rocky and there were multiple parts along the mountainside that I couldn't look down. Also there was freshly burned firewood on this lookout and a cave with a water bottle in it so that was freaky. Did 4X1 min pickups on the road with 1 min rest when we got back. 8:50 average for 10 miles, quads and hampstrings are painfully sore already. Fun run, got the heart rate up and really good hill training.

Drove up Provo Canyon to Deer Creek Resevoir/State Park. Ran on the trail by there and brought back some memories from XC camp. It's a really sick trail cuz it has a nice view of the lake and the mountains. Saw an angry goose that was hissing and looked like it was about to attack us. Waved to the people on a train and one lady waved back so that was cool. Nice, easy run, sick to run on trails with my bro even though I basically just talk his ear off. He held up great today, averaged 7:15 pace. He's leaving on Saturday for Oklahoma to work for the summer, I'm going to miss these kinds of runs with him. We're going tomorrow tho for the last time before he leaves

Last trail run with my bro before he leaves for the summer. Went to Dimple Dell in Sandy. Third time running there, this time was by far the best. Did a backwards loop around the whole park then went under the bridge and did a little out and back to get to 8. Each mile was faster then the previous one, starting out with 8:10 and finishing sub 7 with 2X200 for pre meet, around 32-33. Average pace for the run was 7:20. Felt comfortable and relaxing, really beautiful scenery and cool trails, love the hills too. Going to miss these kinds of runs with my bro but hopefully I can do them with teammates. Perfect way to spend my last day with Tyson before he flies out tomorrow 

Warmed up 2.5 miles with Dallin. Got out good near the front and held that for the first lap. Tried to go the second lap but wasn't feeling it, legs felt tired. Gave it everything and outkicked a guy at the end. Not the time or place I was looking for. Cooled down 7 miles with Collin, 1 barefoot. Went to Runners Corner and picked up some form books that Hawk recommended, one of which hasn't been published so I'm marking it up, stoked for that. Had Prom tonight, definitely the highlight of today
