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.

Salt City Mile, 5:15.8, 26th overall, 6th master. Approximate splits 73, 82, 79, 80. I had 5:14.9 on my watch, but somehow got 5:15.8 official chip time.

We ran the race as a whole family, and managed to average 5:59.8 reaching our goal of breaking 6:00.

Results in speed order:

Benjamin 4:40.8
Dad 5:15.8
Jacob 5:16.2
Joseph 5:16.3
William 5:52.9
Jenny 5:59.6
Stephen 6:13.1 (PR)
Julia 6:41.4
Matthew 6:46.3 (PR)
Sarah 7:55.2

Additionally, our friend Bonnie who also runs in Crocs ran 5:56.6.

Jason Lynch won with 4:23.4, Teren was second with 4:27.7 running in the open heat even though he is a master. Benjamin was 6th.

Nate Hornok won the master's heat in 4:50.7, Mark, who organized the race, was second in 5:02.5.

It felt good to run this fast. This was the first good race of the race for me. For some reason, even though my workouts showed that I should be able to match my last year's times, I have been consistently off those marks in races - until this one. Hopefully I will be able to pick it up from here and start racing better.

Ran a cool-down with the kids afterwards, and some more distance later in the evening.

12 total (10+2). Today was a day of records. Joseph ran 4:57.1 down the canyon, Jacob 4:58.0 on the same course, William 5:21.4 - I paced William, Benjamin paced Joseph and Jacob. We played the rabbit chase with the 30 second head start for William, which he won. Next step is repeat those times on the track with no downhill.

Bella also got a record in 0.25 with 2:28.5.

The course was not conducive to fast times with uphill grades reaching over 8% in places. Additionally, the downhill lasted only about 1.5, followed by a grinding climb for 3.5 miles culminating in 8% grade that yielded an 7:23 mile for me.

One thing I found surprising is that I did better on 8% grade relative to Mark, while he did better than me on the downhill and on the gradual uphill. I did have a problem with the early part of the downhill - right before it I got a rock in my shoe, and even though I got it out, I was still trying to find the rhythm when the downhill started, and did not find it until it was almost over. The gap on the gradual milder grade with Mark was expected. But then, to my surprise, I started closing in the last mile when the grade got very steep. The last quarter mile was downhill, but there were a couple of very sharp turns, so I could not really capitalize on it.

Joseph and Jacob ran 8 miles, Benjamin did additional 6 at night, so both of us ended up with almost 16 for the day. Jenny did 6, Julia 5, William 6, Stephen 5, Matthew 2.

Usual day, usual distances, 12 total for me, I did a pickup for 1.5 at the end of 9 coming back to the house from the canyon in 8:51. Mary ran a mile in 9:36, and it would have been a record, except she tripped, stopped, and cried for a few minutes before starting again, so we do not count this as a record.

10 total (8+2). We attempted a mile time trial for Joseph, Jacob, William, and Stephen on the track, but it was windy, and everybody except Stephen was mentally not into it. I had a discussion with the boys about doing your best regardless of the conditions afterwards. William ran 5:59, Jacob did 5:37, Joseph DNF'ed after the first lap in 78, Stephen was the only one who put in an honest effort and was rewarded with 6:18.1 for it - 5 seconds off PR, but at least close and his second fastest time.

Total of 16+. "Sandwich" workout - warm-up, then 2x1 alternating directions down 5:37 (target 5:40), up 5:54 (target 6:10), then 6 mile tempo down in 36:06 (target 37:00), then 2x1 up in 5:59, down in 5:35. Benjamin was doing an easy run, but ran into me when I had 2 miles left in the 6 mile tempo, and paced me through it and the rest of the workout.

I planned on going 6:10 for the downhill tempo, started in 6:09, then 6:00 felt very natural, so I just kept it.

16 total. Ran with Chad and Benjamin. Warm-up of 8 miles up the canyon from the house to a bit past Vivian Park, then a tempo back at what felt like a reasonable marathon pace. Came back in 47:52 at sub-6:00 average. Felt good, the run did not take as much out of me as I thought it would - especially with the "sandwich" on Wednesday. Chad was struggling in the last two miles, I think he was low on fuel, so I slowed down the pace enough for him to survive, but it was still brisk enough to stay ahead of the 6:00. Last uphill mile in 6:12.

Benjamin did the sandwich workout on Thursday, the same one I did on Wednesday, so he was sluggish today. He ran 45:02 running around 5:40 down the canyon, but then he showed that he really had some serious juice with the last uphill mile in 5:22.

The kids did their usual Saturday distances. Stephen recovered from the sore throat enough to run 7:30 pace for 5 miles.

William and Stephen got lost on the course. Stephen turned around soon enough to finish some unknown distance greater than 5 K in 25:06. William, however, went further, and ended up running over 10 miles taking 1:14 to cover the distance.

When we got home, Benjamin, Jenny, and I ran some more miles.

Track day. Jacob was going to do a ladder, but after the first 1000 in 3:18 he ended up doing two more 1000s one in 3:31 and then 3:24. He was struggling today. Joseph had a sore throat, did a few intervals with Stephen. Stephen was having some issues pushing himself in the morning, so we moved his workout to the afternoon, and he was able to complete the ladder at the target pace. Matthew did 400 - 200 - 200 - 100 ladder as part of Stephen's intervals. William tried to get his record in the mile, but was mentally not in the game after the first lap, so I stopped him at 1000. Jenny did a pickup 0.25 at the end of her evening run in 84, which made me think she is on her way to recovery. So she got signed up for the Haunted Half.

Track workout. Paced William through 8x400 targeting 84. The recoveries were supposed to be 200 meter jog, but we took stopped in the middle of a couple of them - one time for William to get water, the other time because Joseph was having an attitude during his workout. Joseph and Jacob did 1000 in 3:18 + 4x400 with the target of 76, Jacob was hitting the target, Joseph was just giving up and finishing in 80-82.

Before the workout I picked up a heavy piece of equipment to move it out of the way as it was right on the track, and it hurt my back, but not so bad that I could not run. It was painful to run though, and did get worse in the evening.

Only 12 total, the back pain was still there. Measured out a flat, or as flat as I could make it course on the trail in the Riverview Park 0.25 miles in length for the quarter mile intervals. Joseph and Jacob did a workout there, 8x0.25, target 76, 0.125 recovery. The recovery on 3 of those was longer because Joseph was struggling. Jacob appeared to be fine. Their average was around 77. Bonnie did every other one.

I ran more distances at an easy pace afterwards. Usual Saturday distances for the kids.
