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.

Went and met-up with  Clyde and Dustin this morning at the PVHS track.  I didn't get much sleep last night so I was a little hesitant doing speed. However I think it turned out fine - exspecially compared to last years 800's at this time of year (my 800's from last year).

Planning on getting some more miles in tonight.

Didn't get out, went to bed.  Only had 3 hours of sleep last night.

Easy run this morning.  Kept half the run under 6:30 pace. Very Humid!

 

Great run with the club. We had some traffic issues crossing Snow Canyon - other than that it was great.  Dave put the moves of going back to the store so I tried holding on for as long as I could and decided I better hold back for Hayden. And that fact I thought my insides were in a rice cooker.

Looking forward to the Sat. run with the guys.

Today was a pretty lame day for me.  Started off ok - Started having serious problems around mile 15. Ended up walking for a while.
