Ran on the treadmill this morning.  Kendra went up to SLC and left the two older kids with me. So I had no choice. Steady pace, then dropped down to Marathon pace 6min.

7 more this evening.

Set the alarm to get out and go with the morning speed group this morning at the SCHS Track.  However, I ended up not setting the alarm to am.  So it didn't go off this morning and I ended up getting there late.  Only 4 miles.

Evening - had company come into town.

Morning rum from Summit At 6am - headed out towards FT. Pierce Wash for 7.5 miles then headed back to Summit.  Nice gradual uphill on the way out and nice down on the way back.  Had a good little group show.

7 miles easy this morning from the house down into town and back. Really humid out.

7 miles on the treadmill - evening

 Also, I just posted my Bryce Half Splits.

Last Fri I went over to Desert Palms Fitness Center and got my metabolic rate and Vo2Max testing done. I found that my training needs to be a little different than I originally thought. I thought I needed more speed and tempo work - the test told me I needed more time in Zone 1 and 2. Zone 1 for me is between 155-161, Zone 2 between 161-167. Basically it's saying I need to do more base. 

I was really surprised that my Vo2Max read at 86.1.  However, it really doesn't mean much if I don't have the right training behind it.  It said my Max HR was 181.  I think that might be a little off - I'm pretty sure I've had it higher than that before.  However, at the time I thought I was going to shoot off the back of the treadmill. I'll have to scan my reports and post them on the blog. 

I was really impressed with everyone over at Desert Palms. They really took time to explain the system and the data the test printed out for me to follow. If your interested in doing the test just give me a call at the store.
