Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials

Legs felt heavy and calves were really sore today. I think it's because of the form book I just read and I might've been trying to hard to do what it said when my form is actually pretty good already. So I just ran normal today, no worries. Was going to do killers but like I said I was not feeling good so I decided to do a lap around the pit which was awful because of construction and rain recently. After that adventure, did a mile and a half of speed changes around the upper cemetery grass, 5:50 average pace. Did a couple laps around the cemetery, grass felt good on the legs, back to the high school and finished to 9 on the turf. Biked for 30 min with 3 sets of 1 min on, 1 min off, 2 min on, 2 min off. Lifted upper body. Didn't have a lot of energy today, rough day

Drove to PG to run while my dad rode. 3.25 miles on a trail out towards Provo, last .5 out was really cool downhill by this cliff. Got back to the parking lot and ran around searching for a bathroom, finally found one so that was good. Did a mile up the Battle Creek trail, about 10 minutes for that one then 7:45 for the one down to the truck. Really hard run, lots of hills so I was breathing hard, average was 8:55. Good place to train, want to go back this summer

Region at Lone Peak today and tomorrow but I'm not racing because I've qualified in the 1600 and 3200. Got there and did a mile with a lap of speed changes. Workout was 3 sets of 400, 200 at mile pace with a recovery jog 100 in between and 4 min in between sets. Splits were 64, 32, then 62, 31, and 63, 32. Good workout, legs felt a little tired and sore from yesterday but not horrible. Cooled down to 8 on the Murdock Canal Trail then rolled out and watched region

2 miles on a paved trail to the canyon. Then hopped on the dirt trail me and my bro did 2 weeks ago. Did 2 miles on there, flying and smiling the whole way. Turned around and went back, last 2 miles were 6:12 and 6:07 (with 3 strides last .5), average was 7:00 pace. Felt great after the first two miles which is normal for me. Quality run today. Watched region after

Took Pioneer Crossing to AF, made it a loop with Nug. Started out kinda slow but picked it up after everyone left, last 4 miles were sub-6:45 with a 6:23 last mile including 2 laps of speed changes. Average was 7:00. Not my favorite run because of all the cars and mostly sidewalk but I don't mind, we never really go that way. Did 20 min on the bike with 1 set of 1 on, 2 off, 4 on, 2 off, 1 on, 2 off. 

Biked to the Hinckleys for French toast and ping pong. Then warmed up 2 miles to the high school, drills and strides. Workout was 5X800 at 2 mile pace with 3 min rest. Splits were 2:22, 2:24, 2:20, 2:19, 2:18. Hard to find the pace and then ended up going faster but it was a good workout. Cooled down to 7 then went to Thom's for protein shake. Rode our bikes from there to Murdock, went out to the cemetery past 1600 N in Orem and back. Ate at the Hinckleys then iced and ride home, about 35 miles on the bike today. Held up pretty well after the speed and pouring concrete this morning. Really fun time
