Goal Type:

Olympic Trials Qualifier

Running Accomplishments:

Best marathon: 2:23:57 (2007, St. George). Won the Top of Utah Marathon twice (2003,2004). Won the USATF LDR circuit in Utah in 2006.

Draper Days 5 K 15:37 (2004)

Did not know this until June 2012, but it turned out that I've been running with spina bifida occulta in L-4 vertebra my entire life, which explains the odd looking form, struggles with the top end speed, and the poor running economy (cannot break 16:00 in 5 K without pushing the VO2 max past 75).  

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

Qualify for the US Olympic Trials. With the standard of 2:19 on courses with the elevation drop not exceeding 450 feet this is impossible unless I find an uncanny way to compensate for the L-4 defect with my muscles. But I believe in miracles.

Long-Term Running Goals:

2:08 in the marathon. Become a world-class marathoner. This is impossible unless I find a way to fill the hole in L-4 and make it act healthy either by growing the bone or by inserting something artificial that is as good as the bone without breaking anything important around it. Science does not know how to do that yet, so it will take a miracle. But I believe in miracles.

Personal:

I was born in 1973. Grew up in Moscow, Russia. Started running in 1984 and so far have never missed more than 3 consecutive days. Joined the LDS Church in 1992, and came to Provo, Utah in 1993 to attend BYU. Served an LDS mission from 1994-96 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Got married soon after I got back. My wife Sarah and I are parents of eleven children: Benjamin, Jenny, Julia, Joseph, Jacob, William, Stephen, Matthew,  Mary,  Bella.  and Leigha. We home school our children.

I am a software engineer/computer programmer/hacker whatever you want to call it, and I am currently working for RedX. Aside from the Fast Running Blog, I have another project to create a device that is a good friend for a fast runner. I called it Fast Running Friend.

12 total. Track workout for the boys. Jacob was going to do 800 with a fast start, but he was not up to it, and I stopped him at 500 in 1:27.6. Matthew did 2000 in 7:53, repeat of a PR. William did 7:31 catching the rabbit (Matthew) - though we made the gap too small for 2000. Both of them were supposed to try for a mile PR, and if it was not working out, run to 2000. So the gap was OK for the mile, but too small for 2000. Stephen started with Matthew, but then fell off pace and jogged in.

16 total. Did a 2 mile tempo down the canyon with Joseph and Jacob. There was some snow on the ground, and Jacob was struggling, so we ran 12:01. Joseph was a bit a head with about 11:55.

Benjamin did 17 total with 4x1.25 in the canyon alternating up and down - 5:59, 6:38, 5:59, 6:27. It never ceases to amaze me to watch him run - he ran past me on his 5:59 interval (4:47 pace). His form did not look super smooth, and he did not look fast. The only evidence of speed that I observed was how fast he was moving away from me. Appearance can be deceptive.

Easy runs, usual Saturday distances for everybody else.

12 total. Joseph and Jacob did 500 in 1:23.7 as my experimental plan to get them ready for sub-5:00 mile. We are working on overcoming the fear of sub-4:40 pace so that 5:00 would feel like a jog. I did the last 300 with them dropping back a bit with the time of 51.6.

Julia did 800 in 3:06.9 (90, 96). William did 2000 in 7:22. Matthew and Stephen started but just did not have it so I told them to stop and try tomorrow while I finished with William with my time being 7:47 who caught up to us doing the rabbit chase.

16 total. Did a spontaneous pickup for almost a mile + 2x2 down the canyon with Joseph, Jacob, and Chad. On the first one Bonnie ran 5:59 opening mile with us, after that we ended up with 11:54 for me and Joseph, and 11:48 for Jacob and Chad. Joseph was struggling again, so I stayed with him.

On the second one it started snowing, so Joseph was really having a hard time. We slowed the pace down for a bit. Then Jacob and Chad picked it up, and caught up to 12:00, while I stayed with Joseph (Benjamin joined us during his cool-down half way and stayed with us as well). We finished in 12:23.

Benjamin did 2x2 up 10:51, down 9:57. After that he froze and decided to call it good. I started going into a bit of hypothermia on the cool-down - too much of cool-down I guess. The feet felt numb and I started losing my balance a bit. But I made it to the car OK, and still was able to run the whole way.

Joseph did not have it, ran 2:27. I ran the first 400 with Joseph in 71.6, and then the last 100 with Jacob, except I could not keep up in the last 50 meters, and got 17.4. Benjamin paced them.

16+ total. Chad joined us. Chad and I started with our usual 7 mile pre-distance, except this time we formally included a mile pickup, which we did in 5:54.9. Then we did 2x2 with Joseph and Jacob. Bonnie ran the first 0.75 of the first interval with us (4:27), and William did the first interval with us except fell back by a second at the end. We had 12:00 on the first one. On the second, we had 5:52 at the mile, and then with 0.75 to go Joseph started showing initiative and Jacob responded. Chad and I tried to keep up, but they dropped us. Joseph and Jacob got 11:25 (5:33 last mile), Chad and I had 11:31 (5:39) (Chad finished a step ahead of me).

Benjamin did 3x2 up 10:28 (5:06, 5:22), down 9:49 (4:53, 4:56), up 10:21(5:02,5:19). I think he is ready to move to a different workout.

Otherwise usual Saturday distances. Mary hit sub-8:00 twice this week.

Fast Running Friend Workout - 2021-02-27 08:10:50

17+ total. Started with 7 with Chad. We did a mile pickup in 5:53. Actually felt OK on that one even though it was snowing. But we decided to do the hill workout instead of our planned tempo to avoid the snow. However, we had some issues with the hill workout. Stephen and William had sore throats, Jacob was struggling, and Chad fell back on the second interval. I also did not feel that great, had to work very hard to keep up with Joseph and Jacob. So William just ran 2 easy miles - he could not even keep up with us during the warm-up. Stephen and Bonnie did 2x0.25. We decided to stop the workout as a precaution, and have Joseph and Jacob run only 6 miles today in case a cold might be going through the house.

I added a mile with Mary and 0.25 with Bella later at night.
