4 x 1 mile intervals on a 1 mile course I mapped out on east bench by lundstrom park. really tough workout, my legs were just dead, no zip at all. don't know why. ran as hard as I could and managed 5:59, 5:53, 6:09 and 5:57. I will call them threshold miles but they felt like VO2max.

Nice job rooster. Those don't sound too shabby to me.

thanks Burt! I am hoping to get my one mile intervals down to 5:35 by middle of May. we shall see. right now I don't see how it will be possible.

so when are you coming up to Utah to run a race so we can finally meet? still bummed I missed you in Mesquite.

Hopefully I'll be selected to run St. George this year. I know that's on the opposite side of Utah from you. Oh, I forgot. I'm doing Ragnar Wasatch Back. Are you on a team? Other than that, I get invites to all the Utah races from Mary Ann's facebook. I usually respectfully decline, although I'd love to do more downhill races.

St George- is the lottery open? I will enter it! thanks for reminding me!!

No relays for me. I want to run some fast shorter runs this spring, and then take a good portion of the summer off from running to hike, canoe and camp with the kids.

i like your 1 mile course. is it mostly flat?

burt - count on me being at the wasatch back and SG marathon. not to run. just to watch you. from the bushes.

I have the goosebumps now. Not the excited anticipation kind. The creepy scary kind.

From Scott Ensign on Tue, Mar 09, 2010 at 19:22:59 from 65.100.253.126

Allie, yes, it is pretty much completely flat, and no traffic either which makes it nice. let me know if you want to join me sometime. It is a lot harder to do one mile intervals alone, that may be part of my problem, I need some motivational company. we will have to resume our track workouts soon now that the track is clear.

i am definitely up for an outdoor track workout. i need to get off of that fieldhouse track.

i like the idea of doing mile repeats on a point-to-point course rather than laps or loops. seems like it might be a little less painful, at least mentally.

i agree about the difficulty of doing intervals alone...especially 1-milers. that is my least favorite interval distance. so hard.
