Trying to improve my running

Staying in Farmington this week. I went running up to farmington canyon and then across the Firebreak road. It had rained overnight and the trail was just slightly damp (great running conditions). I love being here it is so easy to get vertical here. This didn't feel steep at all and I got 600 vert. I really have to plan a trip to do that in Tucson.

I thought I would try some speedwork today. I was going to do 12x600 at 2:40. I wasn't quite ready for this unfortunately I was only able to complete 6 of them mostly d/t time. My splits weren't as fast as I wanted either: 2:48, 2:43, 2:47, 2:31, 2;47, and 2:41. 

Ran to farmington pond and then back on Lagoon trail nice run again so easy to get vert. I felt like this was pretty flat but I got 250 vert.

Went to try the 3 mile 1 min fast/1 min less fast workout. I pooped out pretty quickly. Looking back on the splits i guess they weren't so bad but they were 15-30 seconds slower than usual. It took me 22 minutes and the fast average was 6:52 the less fast average was 7:45. The less fast was teh particularly slow portion.

Ran up to and down the firebreak road. only had time for a few miles this morning.

Ran up to flag rock this morning. Beautiful run. It is amazing how fast you can gain altitude here. it would be great to train up here. I am going to miss running in the mountains.

I ran around the block with my daughter when I got home.
