Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
6.11	6.00	0.00	0.00	12.11

This morning it was 20 degrees with 16 mph wind gusts so the weather said it felt like 10 degrees. I dressed in my North Face wind jacket and a gator mask and didn't have any problems with the cold.

I was going to do an easy run, but I don't know what happen. I think knowing I wanted to do 10 miles this morning and the fact that I left the house later than I wanted to, and I had to be back by 8am to take the kids to school caused me to push the run. I ran 10.4 at an overall 6:34 pace in 1:08.

Mile 5 6:16 uphill/downhill equal

Mile 6 6:07 1/4 uphill and the rest downhill

Mile 7 5:52 completely downhill

Mile 8 5:57 downhill/flat equal

Mile 9 6:04 completely flat

Mile 10 6:26 flat (I dropped the pace to do a cool down)

The effort really didn't seem hard and I ran by feel.

Evening: Ran 1.66 miles with my wife at a 11:23 pace. She's doing great and I'm proud of her.

Nice run...where is your lack of motivation and burnout? You are still running in high gear!

From wheakory on Wed, Nov 28, 2007 at 16:35:21

Jeff, I just felt like the last few tempos that I ran just didn't feel right, but the weather I guess was a factor in those runs too.

I would like to see what I can do with a tempo on a completely flat 5 mile route. Because downhill does give you an advantage if you noticed in my report. What type of route do you do your tempo's on, is the route mostly flat?

From jtshad on Wed, Nov 28, 2007 at 16:38:39

I live in Idaho Falls, we have basically nothing but flat...only a few good hills east of town. I have two standard routes right now...in the morning on Sunnyside road (pancake flat) and on the greenbelt around the river (mostly flat with some very small rolling hills). Typically my faster/tempo runs on at lunch on the greenbelt (5:50 - 6:10ish pace).

Most of my tempo are down flat but there's rolling hills involved. I would like to try one on a pancake course and see if there's any difference just for an experiment.

Nice work! Way to get out there on a freezing cold day and do a great work out.

From Paul Ivory on Wed, Nov 28, 2007 at 22:06:49

Kory, nice workout for sure. It sure looks like you are not burnt out from so much racing. Be careful and enjoy those fast paced runs that you do.

From wheakory on Wed, Nov 28, 2007 at 22:10:23

Stacy: Thank you. What really helps is just going out there and praising God. I couldn't run without him.

Paul: I will try to keep my pace down on other runs and get an aerobic base going. Definitely have to be careful on the slick roads.
