Train Seshes For Quickness Amaze

Epic running with pickups!!  Aerobic Run w/ 3x(1min, 1min, 2min pick-ups w/ 5min rec between reps and sets)

ugh i need sleep. Trail runs r swag tho

6x1min(3@Tempo, 3@Thresh), 2x(5x30sec @CV), 6x1min(3@Thresh, 3@Tempo) equal rec w/ lap betw sets; 10 warm/cool to time. This workout is diffrent for sure but hey i like it it's fun!

--- Hilly run with strides of glory.  Solid sixty Mins. Idk why Garmin doesn't have my mileage....

Had to run on my own cause of drivers ed instructor hours after shoool. The ladies nice but I was bored out of my MIND. There was a latino guy in the car with me who'd always pop the hood so the instructor kept having to go out and close it. His name is Edwin and it was pretty great ;D

I need to wear my watch at night whoops.

85 mins for a beast run

50 mins------Hey I'm not sure that all my runs are 100% spot on (more like 97%) but I will keep awesome records that show training af

Had more driving after school... Got my 45 mins in though (late at night cause my mom forgot to wake me up...) Man I'm getting sick of no sleep it's wrecking my concentration. Will get more tomorrow.

Man what a beast day! This training business is tough in wind/rain/cold. Had an insane tempo this time (insane as in why am I doing this owww) with 25 mins at a solid pace (1:35/1:37-ish per 400). Mostly hurt because of:

a) Running hard

b) Headache

c) Gnarly sickness

Yeah I was wiped OUT. Came home with a really bad fever (103 degrees plus major fatigue) and fell right to sleep. Mom says no shoool or running tomorrow... Sorry fams.

Also, pretty new to this fastrunningblog biznatch so if there's anything I need to improve please let me know. Roasts are accepted but not encouraged.

Did weights and morning run today!!

Had a great time on my first legit run after being wiped out with sickness hardcore.

It was pretty fun the desert trails are always the best to run. Was kinda pooped though it was a bit of a bummer. But hey looking to be back at it!

64 mins total today

6x1:00 (3 Tempo, 3 Thresh), 5x1:00 CV, 6x1:00 (3 Thresh, 3 Tempo) equal rec w/ lap betw sets; 10:00 warm/cool to time 

This was a good workout I like it more every time we do it ;D

Went on a run in the morning + weights

Hilly run was dooope

total time: 80mins

Man i need to keep better records of distance on track workouts..

Was really good though tag teamed with Colton and sometimes Alex and had a great tempo. I freaking could not stop coughing for the life of me though it was super annoying.

60 mins

Had a sweet run with Mitch on the Sullivan trail! One of my better runs for sure.

70 mins

Went on a run with pickups 1-2-1-3-1-3 but had to cut it short cause I was NOT feeling well. Fun fact though hit the bano and felt pretty much better. So that's a relief. My legs are pretty tired so gonna roll tonight.  

65mins

Hey does Garmin track your sleep from the previous night? (so like your sleep before you woke up this day) I'm pretty sure cause my watch tells me I've already had 8 hrs today. (was like dahek jus happen)

Early run in the morning + weights. 

Had a legendary trail run around Mustang Pass! On the way back I so wish I had a camera though! The light hit the crew so awesome from the back and the dust just made us look like such beasts. My legs have been a little tired lately cause of my stupid left knee. Gonna roll mah quads and get this thing back in shape!

65 mins total

Did the 6-5-6 workout today on the track! Hit my paces/ distances good so I'm happy. This workout makes time fly though holy cow.

60 mins total. Had a good time! My legs are feeling good this go around. 

Weights and 15 today! couldn't do much lifting cause my knee was spazzing out ;( It'll be fine soon though

Had a hilly run through good ol' St. Geezy. Good push casue my legs were a bit worn out from yesterday. Finished it off with 6 striders. Love running with my homies :D

65 mins total

Man today was slightly more lame not gonna lie. Around 20 mins in our tempo I hit a WALL. idk waht it was but I'm just going to be more careful with my body. Most likely not enough water and/or sleep. Next goal to work on is definately gonna be establishing healthy habits. Ran a solid 60 mins tho. Also went to Mongolian BBQ same night. Their noodles are seriously the best. (Coach these ones are healthy with veggie and meat stuffs and actual dough. Not pop tart cancer ramen I promise)

I did not sleep good that was rough ;( But went and hit up prospector with Cooper! Man I love the desert it's so beautiful. Had to flip a little early cause of prom stuff. Solid run though! 50 mins total.

Speaking of Prom (and beautiful things) it was seriously suuuuuuper fun shout out to Ellie for being such an amazing date!

1-2-1-3-1-3 pickups

80 mins total

Agh this run was soooooo much fun. What an epic desert road to run on! My legs were feeling really good even through the pickups we had.

Weights and nice 15 this morniing!

Man the Root Beer Mile was off the wall. I did good with puking but as soon as I finished the last lap my stomach unleashed its awesome fury. No joke, a river of Barq's shot from my face. I don't really want to describe this race that much cause it's pretty nasty and I want to keep Fast Running Blog family-friendly.

55 mins total (morning + after school)

Today was a good day! Hit my distances in our funky 4-6-4 workout and had fun! My legs were a bit tired but it went away the more I ran.

60 mins total

Morning run!!! 15 and weights

Had an insane adventure run out in the middle of the desert. 70 ish minutes. Was pretty legit not gonna lie. Climbed a mountain and learned about Russian German Shepard Bear Dogs. Also didn't know what bouldering was exactly until this run. Man, learn something erry day.

Lost my watch so I can't keep accurate records );  But this tempo was great. Enjoyed the group I was in! I think we were a little over the place but overall pretty solid. 

60 mins total with 30 mins tempo pace in between 20 warm/10 cool

Today I took off to Mustang Pass just me myself and I. Was really enjoyable actually! I normally hate running by myself but this time was really fun. Still can't find my watch so that sucks. The cool rain made for FANTASTIC running weather.

60 mins total with 15 fast finish

Saw footprints on my run and later found out they were Juliens! Was pretty epic.

Long run around town ;D  To be honest my legs felt like jello but I enjoyed the run! Pretty long and lonely the last little bit.. (had to stop at the sullivan park bano.)

80 mins with 1-2-1-3-1-3 pickups

Morning Weights and 15 Minutes!!!!

Southern Utah trail runs are flipping fantastical and I love them. Speaking of love Happy Valentine's Day! Today's run was super quick and very enjoyable. (my legs actually felt pretty tired today too. Time to roll afth.)

45 mins around Church Rocks or whatever its called.

Also, Hilarious Fun Fact That I Just Learned And Is Actually Fun:  Anitidaephobia is an actual word in the english dictionary that means the fear of always being watched by ducks. Yes. Watched by ducks. All the time.

Morning run! Nice brisk 25 minutes.

Today was the first day of my new goal of more sleep af. Doing well and love running with mis compadres

Man I need to keep better track of mileage /:

Had 25 in the morning and some awesome yoga. Sometimes I wish I was a ninja sensei so I could drink tea and do this stuff all the time.

Noice E run of 45 mins including striders. Got my pick up thing for the Half tomorroww!!!!

Couldn't sleep well the night before but man what a legendary race. For my first half marathon, Im pretty stoked. The clock was 15 off so I about flipped my lid when my mom told me that I ran a 01:04:05. Sigh thanks mom. But anyways arrived pretty early in what I think was the first bus w/ Carson. We did some mosh pit dancing stuff to stay warm and not freeze our butts off. Got some weird looks haha. Coach Holt showed up so that was pretty neat! Ugh but I wish so much I could've held the race with those guys! Just have to train harder. Anyways, the start was just some lady counting down... I guess in track season and such I'm expecting a gun but hey whatever. Took off down an industrial road somewhere in Hurricane. Ran around some neighborhoods and flew downhill in Coral Canyon. (TH was Evan doing?) It had warmed up to a gorgeous day by then and Logan caught up to me around the Landfill Rd. Me and him cruised down through hell hole and the whatchamacallit trail with some epic tag teaming. Logan was a big help for me pushing thx dude! The hardest part was the flat road after sullivan. Only thing i was dissatisfied with was this part. Was really tough having a good attitude/pace after logan started to pass me up and the hurt really kicked in. Not really used to holding tempo for such a long time but I think I managed myself well. Picked up aways before Staheli Farm and passed some other dude for a quicker finish. Good job PVXC we literally destroyed that race! Can't wait for next year!!

25 Morning run!

30 mins round the town/track. The half still gets me... Decathalon under way.

weights of swagness...

30 mins jog between decathalon events n such

Weights and fifteen this morning. 

Also, had the 1500 time trial that whooped me good. I'm pretty sure 4:36 time is right...

 warm (15-20 min) w/ 5 at E Tempo, race, 2x800 @ CV, cool to time

but anyways, had a great pep talk from coach to me and Nathan and got my sights set on some amazingness in the very near future. Gotta whip my butt into shape and get to sleep earlier even still.

85 mins total 

25 morning

50 afternoon

Didn't have a watch so feel free to correct me if our time was different

Honestly pretty glad the decathalon is over so I can get home a bit earlier. Throwing jav and disc is really fun but I think I'm just gonna focus on running hard like always. My sprints need some work too haha. Feeling surprisingly good after our race yesterday wishing I would've pushed some more...

Gonna party at J's house today and build some sweet minecraft houses ;D 

Man this getting to sleep business is becoming a struggle seriously working on it. Commited af.

Anyways had a sweet run and tempo with Colton, Carson, and Dr. J. Running hard clears my head it's amazing. Held our paces and had a solid workout too

Preference is gonna be a riot

K I went to bed at a good time but I couldn't sleep well and my flipping alarm clock went off at like 1 o clock... But the 85 Mins went well! Great way to start the day. 10/10 for sure. Felt a tad chilly but it was toootally refreshing. And the sunrise was amaaaaaaazing

2-1-3-2-1-3 picups  with 5 mins recovery in between

Also got some new shoes but are the exact same as my old ones (so are they really new...?)

25 in the afternoon and SAW A CAR CRASH. Was really sketchy. But I'm glad I wasn't in it and I will never text and drive in my life.

I worked my muscles so they can be large and ran for 15

50 mins afternoon.

I love workouts in the morning to be honest. They usually flow smoothly and it's a great way to start the day.

warm up=10 plus 5 tempo pace.  2x1200 & 2x(2x400, 600) all at CV.  Cool down after.

60 mins total

25 mins after shool and watched a bit of the soccer game. Soccer's an epic sport. Not quite as epic as running though but it's up there.

weights in the morning!!! 15 mins afterwards.

45 mins pm

6:15 AM went to shool for a 25 minute run. Last day before spring breeeeaaak!

When we got out of school, headed home to get some snacks and my epic bluetooth speaker, then drove to SC to yell my face off. Pretty stoked for all those that killed it today!! Tad nervous for the 3200 but hey what the heck. Ugh seeing the track during our racing season always gives me race jitters and makes me wanna run.

Did 50 mins around Snow Canyon Land. Every time I go by myself I flip out and go way faster tho. But I fixed a kids bike this run. Blessings.

Well. This race was something else. I'm not too upset by it but I had quite a few mistakes in this one. I know it's our fisrt race and stuff but I SOOO could've done better. Between sleep and water and diet this week I'm probably a 7/10. And that's about all the effort I gave on this race (which is a big problem). I was overall exhausted and wasn't in the right mindset (heck i even lost track of what lap I was on). This time's gonna improve dramatically. No doubt. PV invite is up next and I'm totally ready

Noicely done PV we threw down!

Noice kickoff for Spring Break! Una carrera excelente! Muy bien! Gotta love sunrises too.

85 mins with pickups (2-1-3-2-1-2)

Holy crap does anyone else feel like it got really hot in a hurry? My runs were pretty solid but feeling a bit worn out for some reason...

Am was 50 mins

Pm was 30 mins

Epic track workout in the morning! Great way to start the day I must say. I was a little off on my times I think (wayy fast) but idk I felt fine during so I didn't mind too much.

AM--  4*1000m, 400m, 600m    @CV pace of radicalness  65 mins total

PM-- 25 mins of hiking up and down our fam's property in Enterprise whacking cows with a stick. I'm exhausted. I'm not sure if this counts as a run but I'm sooo tired haha.

AM-- 45 mins of dope pace

PM-- 30 mins by myself with a sick playlist I just made

AM---hill workout with Dr. J and Evan. rip to Evan's life though cause he almost threw up this run. But Julien and I a great workout! Solid run too I felt great! (Tried out an ice bath for the first time yesterday and I think that's why!)

60 mins w/ Old Man hills.   3*60 secs---longer recovery---2*60 secs + 1*85 secs

My watch is acting nuts and it makes keeping track of runs really annoying sorry these posts are quite late ); But had a legendary sleepover with Evan and Julien and got nooooo sleep. We played box and watched dank meme videos. An excellent use of time. We also went Ghost hunting last night but it completely sucked. Miles and some Dhills chicks hung with us for a while and the Ghost hunting app did nothing so we were just hiking around the desert for no reason. Purty fun though. Had to take naps today to catch up. My 8+ hours of sleep goal was not met today...

A noice longrun of sheer longrunness.

70 mins reverse parkway

Thanks to the peeps that ran with me over the break I would've gone insane if I had to run solo. Blessed.

AM-- 80 min lonely solo run

This morning was very long. I woke up at precisely 5:30 and shed one tear. I got my run in at a good pace but I went a little crazy. Running with the team is soooooo much easier.... Brockman scared the crap out of me when I started my run though. When I headed out from the high school I couldn't see him cause he was dressed in all black (brockman style) and he was super close when I noticed him.

PM--- 25 min easy

Man it is 68% toastier than I'd like it to be. Great meeting before though. Sorry about going to bed late coach..... I won't sacrifice the gift

AM--- 15 mins

Kinda flipped my lid this morning cause for some reason I thought we had another 5:30 run. But it was good cause we had weights instead    d:

PM--- 65 mins

A beautiful workout on the track. 4*1200m at CV pace. My legs felt good and I made sure to push myself. Brought my fat water jug to school today and stayed sooooo hydrated. I'm going to make that a habit. Pretty stoked for PV invite this weekend

Am-- 25 mins of morning running

Pm--- 50 mins including striders

Am-- 15 mins and weights

Pm-- 50 mins including 4*200's

Am-- Did 25 in the morning and some epic Yoga it felt greaaat.

Pm-- 20 mins Pretty exhausted from standing in the sun all day. I totally forgot some striders..);  Totally lame but I hope running back and forth cheering our guys on counts... Pretty stoked for the 3200 tomorrow!

Where to start? I had a pretty good race and I'm definately on my way to some serious improvement. I was kind of on my own this time but I'm starting to get used to the pain associated with track races again. I really want to run it again because I know I can do better. Especially with some PV dudes to help me get going. Shoutout to all the beasts who state qualified already! Also, the weather was fantastic I hope I run in that again...

I'm gonna be honest I did not go a full 70 mins today... I only had a total of about 45 actually. Someone slap me.

AM-- 85 min long run with pickups!! Had to stop real quick at the new park on river road to use the bano. Wish I had that sweet playground growing up... Overall noice run. Little sore legs

PM-- 25 mins

AM-- weights and 15 mins

PM-- The amazing 1600! This was actually a really fun race!! I know I can definately go faster and I'm excited to get some PRs af. We all did a good job of staying with each other and pacing. The 1500m visualization thing works wonders btw 10/10 would reccomend. Evan was like, "wow I don't feel tired" and I agree we should've killed ourselves more.

Also ran a 400m at 60 secs flat. (coach said if I broke 1 min he'd put me in the 800....... so yeah)

AM-- We did a reverse Middleton loop this morning that was actually super fun! It's great when we do a new route it's very refreshing.

50 mins

PM-- chill run around the town and past Jose's house.

25 mins

Helped little youngster runners for a while before I saw my new baby niece!! Her name's June

AM-- just getting huge.

15 mins 2 miles

PM-- Don't ya know t'day was quite a blustry one it was. I swear it laddie. Aye the winds were summat 70 kilometers an hour they were. Mah nose was running summat like an Irish spring due to my bloody allergies. Post run the team ran six or so striders we did.

50 mins 6.5 miles

AM--- Nice chill pace

3.4 miles 25 mins

PM--- Went on a completely random run in Hurricane and found a canyon to explore. I felt like I was on a legendary journey it was sooooo fun. There were caves and cliffs and such. Saw bambi not once, but twice.

5 miles 50 mins

After my 15 min warmup I tackled the 3200m! I'm glad I could push hard like I did. (unfortunately no PR..) Just had a solid race all around and can't wait to see my times improve. Pretty grateful it wasn't insanely windy, but still chilly in the morning. Next time I'm gonna have to fight to hold my pace and hopefully not get feeling sick like I did today. Me Nathan and Evan all almost passed out it was great. After that we took off towards the lit canyon I did yesterday! Only me and Nathan climbed the hill to the rest of the canyon though. We had convos about running, training, and other stuffs. Towards the end we crawled through a little tunnel which was purty cool.

In total 75 mins today

PM-- felt stressed af so I ran around like crazy. Wish I ran my 3200 like I just barely did.

11 mins

Also did a crap ton of sit ups push ups and bicep curls

AM-- What a run. What a run. This particular morning was awesome and made me feel super awesome! By the end of it my legs were mush but it was nonetheless amazing. We did a half marathon and straight up kicked butt.

90 mins     15 min tempos *2

PM-- A nice inspirational meeting of sheer inspirationalness. Then we ran

25 mins      chillax

AM-- Just working on our gorgeous muscles

15 mins

PM-- Aaaaaah yes. It's that wonderful time of the year again. A time where teams from across the world come to bond in the form of relays. Panther Relays is sure to include all types of batons and distance kids not knowing what to do. And no doubt feature all kinds of monkey business, tomfoolery, horse feathers, and shenanigans alike. Not to mention the world famous, all-american Panther Dogs. Next year, don't forget to take part in this memorable time that's tailored for the whole family 

Also I took part of the 4*800 and 4*400. Whoever took last owes Julien, Tavin, Gabe, and I our deserved share of donuts.

60 mins total

AM-- Morning run of chill swagg... but man I hate it when I leave my bags in my car.

25 mins

PM-- Team pictures FTW. This is my favortie photoshoot so far due to how few we took and how quick it was. Also our run was kind of sporadic and weird. My legs DEFINATELY feel a bit worn out. hoefully get them back into prime condition b4 friday @dhills

50 mins

AM-- 15 mins and weights mah dudes. Not very good sleep last night...

PM-- Had a noice run around Green Springs today! although it's actually hot now ); I really enjoyed the cool cloudy stuff not too long ago. But hey I had to stop for a porta potty and somehow met back up w/ the boys team at the same spotlight! No joke it was perfect timing. Finished with strides of course

50 mins

AM-- Morning run! K my blogs have a total lack of info cause of watch issues. Our best people are working on it now.

25 mins

PM-- Typically I'd think,"Hey don't focus on the negative" but in reality you have to sometimes. And this race doesn't have much positive. That's the truth. I felt a bit sick before we started and had to use the bano a lot. In honesty I wasn't completely out of commision but the fight just wasn't there. My body was NOT up to it and neither was my mind. Just gonna regroup and try again since that's all I can do. Also see if I can improve on what I'm already doing and visualize how to deal with opposition in races. Shake it off, step up.

Had to run home early cause of fam stuff and only got in 45 mins this afternoon. Lame.

Also thanks to beast coaches Holt and Robs for a good pep talk after. Appreciate the time put in this team.

AM-- Did a solid run around da hood and some striderers before Dhills preference. Brought to you by Macie Barney. Twas a great time ;D

45 mins.

AM-- First off I completely forgot about blogging my runs until coach reminded me... Yikes. Will change with that ); 

Anyways, this run was pretty craaaazy. I held well with the main varsity pack during our tempo and only slipped off a little at the end. Finished not too far behind cause of some gnarly stomach issues. But this was one of my better long runs. I had quite a bit of tiredness and still held on. Probably 100% because I had the worst time falling asleep last night. I need to take some nyquil or something cause it took forever to pass out and even when I did I would wake back up. A real pain... Still stayed awake today and did well though.

75 mins w/ tempo of 15 mins (5 mins then 10 faster pace) 10.5 miles

PM-- Just A nice chill 25 after school. Great meeting today as well!

AM-- Ok my allergy medicine knocked me out and my dad had to come and shake me so I missed my alarm ); didn't get too much weights in... sad day.  Now I'm that much less huge.

weights and 15 mins mah duuuudes 

PM-- My legs are feeling a bit worn and my brain is not really into running as of late. Need to get that back into line. Still went pretty fast this whole run. But that don't matta :p

45 mins w/ 5 mins of striderers

AM-- Woke up early and started this motha at 6:00. Did our 10 min warm up, 5 easy tempo, then proceeded with hammering our legs into shape. Man I was feeling really sick this workout but still did almost all of it (didn't do the 2nd 800 well huge bumma). I'm getting pretty annoyed cause I'm trying all this new diet stuff and I still struggled. Gonna start writing down what I eat. Ugh it's all good though. Despite the difficulty I felt pretty accomplished after this morning. Starting to learn how to handle pain better too! Doesn't mean that it didn't suck tho haha. But a good suck, ya know? Also I need to land on my toes (seriously the list goes on). It feels really wierd but I know I'll get it down. Form work erry day.

10 warm + 5 mins E tempo

200m: 800 pace

400m: 1600 pace

800m: 3200 pace

400m: 1600 pace

200m: 800 pace

Repeat one more time. Then cool 10 mins

60mins total

PM-- chill 25 again. Today was definately harder than I thought it would be

Wow. Just wow. My body was rekt and so was my mind. This was pretty bad. Going to the doctor tomorrow. Revamping my entire mindset over the weekend

Well I went and meditated on a cliff today. It was pretty great. Practiced visualizing and tried to study my mind. The blood results from the hospital came back and nothing appears to be wrong with me other than I'm a little sick from something (cold, infection, idk). But nothing to hold me back too far I don't think. Was bored today and a little upset about my race. So ultimately I went and ran a 3200m and a 1600m by myself at the track later in the night (since I didn't go to a meet today).

1600m--  5:03

3200m-- 10:40

AM-- Morning run with mah dudes

25 mins

PM-- A half hour and striders!!

30 mins and 6 strides

Afterwards we had a super lit ice bath and it was AMAZING. Evan wussed out everyteim but me and Corbin stayed in. My legs feel so good rn. We had to fill buckets in the ice room and run them over so that was some good cross training (; At first the water was so cold it stung to even touch haha. but after a while and after some screaming it was chill (ay no pun intended)

Hahaha back at it again fools! I'm back from the beach and ready to kick trash. Speaking of trash kicking, today's run was epic. I have to admit, I was a little edgy about running longer minutes. But honestly it was no porblehm. Our dirt mile tempo thingy went really well and there were some exciting vibes

20 mins warm, 20-ish mins tempo, 20 mins finish time

Road/Grass run today and I battled sprinklers like a champ. Also, never cut a single corner cause I'm not a noob. (Also, distance might be a little shabby because I'm in the process of recovering my lost watch)

40 mins including striders. (20 road/20 grass)

Also, Kids Club was a riot. Plus weights in the afternoon and this day was the bomb.

Had a cewl run up towards whatever trail (i get the all mixed up. I think it's Grapevine...?). Anyways, during this run I realized that this season's gonna take some guts for me to reach my goals (I wouldn't want it any other way). And honestly I'm stoked to see how my/everyone's hard work will pay off. It'll be legendary.

45 mins total.

Also, I never realized how amazing stretching is.

Woke up eaarrrrrrly and took off on a long solo run. This one was kind of difficult at the beginning because my stomach was really upset. I just didn't have enough water the night before and I think I was really hungry. But after the 25 min mark I got my rear in gear and did my pickups well. I had to practice form hard though because I was pretty pooped towards the end.

70 mins total w/ 2*(1min + 1min + 2min)      5 mins recov. in between sets.

Got some rest on the way to youth conference

Our XC crew up at snow college has to wake up at 5:45 to get ready and go running at 6. This is a problem since you don't get back to your dorm until around midnight. But hey it's cool who needs sleep.

Had to wear some old bogus running shoes because I forgot most of my stuff.

60 mins total @ 2 mins slower than 5k pace   8 miles

Yuuuup. I'm dead right now. Grateful for Youth Conference but so glad I'm home. This way I can relax and recover. Also, went and partied like an animal last night at the dance. No one went as hard as me. No one.

In the morning Logan, Ethan Ashby, and myself took off on a road. We didn't realize till about a mile in that the whole thing was a gradual uphill. I'm not complaining about it but my calves were shot after mile 2 haha. It's cool I probs needed it anyway. 

50 mins at 2 mins slower than 5k pace

Also, I'm going to burn my old running shoes because the mileage for this run was 6.66

I wish I got more sleep last night... I was battling cockroaches and there was some freaky deaky crap going on outside my window around 10:00

At any rate, this run was stellar! I had a blast even though I got my butt whooped. Still, I had lots of juice this run. It felt great because even though my legs were getting tired, I could always find more energy to keep up just fine. I felt way better after I puked after Hell Hole (yeah I know it's gross) and after that I didn't have to worry about anything other than running. This was awesome cause usually I have some kind of gut problem.

75 mins total   w/pickups---  2*( 1min + 1min + 2min )

A little tired today but not too bad! Twas a great time at kids club even though it was blazing.

20 mins road / 25 mins grass (including striders*8)

6.2 mi total

Man restarting on the strict sleep stuff. Also, this run today was pretty tiring not gonna lie. When we have just normal runs I almost get bored haha. I like pickups, hills, and that kinda stuff. I still love to run tho.

60 mins total

Catching up some old runs haha

We did some grapevine hills today. K, I felt like such a dooooofus when I told everyone about the different hill and nobody listened haha. It's cool I guess );

Either way there was a lot of good vibes going around today it was sick. Dylan's especially good with that stuff

60 mins total w/ 5*60 sec hills  + one 85 sec hill

Met out at confluence park for some chill Fri running. I went to the wrong park to start with lol...

Had some good convos about girls and memes

50 mins with striders *8

Yup. I only had 3 hours of sleep. Long story short, I went camping but the wind messed up our little sleeping bag camp with a whole lot of problems and sand in my face. Not a proud moment for my sleep schedule.

K, I know lack of sleep is dangerous and stupid but I still crushed this run on just 3 hrs last night. Anywho, it was up at Red Cliffs Desert Reserve (I think that's waht it's called). Carson, me, and Colton all did beast.

65 mins total at solid pace

Man! This was a great run. I was a little iffy at the first, but after a while I was in the zone. Serioiusly. In the zone. Like, I was becoming a little tired but then after a few pick-ups my whole body just kind of relaxed. After that I was just chilling with some homies on a run. I didn't need to fight much anymore because it became easier.

90-ish minutes total         3*(1m + 1m + 2m)  pickups

Whew... well I've been 100% out of it for the past 2 days. Being sick was soooooo much fun. Anyways, just gettin back into it. Trying not to explode my guts too. For today I just ran the opposite way on dirt mile. Dang, something about our crew kicking up dust in the desert is just so beast to watch. Even more to do it tho... );

60 mins     @norm pace

We met up in Evan's hood today for our Fri run. Ran on the Half Marathon course. Brought back some dope memories.

My sleep game is suffering gonna get to bed xtra early for some fresh running.

55 min norm + striders *6

Woke up to take off on my solo run! Man it always drives me nuts when I run by myself. Anyways this one was up in Provo Utah. I ran on some flat, humid, industrial road forever. No jams or anything. It was pretty boring not gonna lie. It's chill tho. Not gonna have time for too much running this whole next week though cause of EFY...

75 mins total including   3*(1min + 1min + 2min)  pickups

Back at it again! Running today was easier than I thought it was gonna be. I missed a few days last week because of EFY so I was kind of scared to hit this long run. Not too bad! I still felt pretty tired once I hit 80 mins ( I did barf once) but it was all good. Anyways just getting excited for our beast season!

85 mins total  w/ pickups  (1+2+1+3+1+3)

Did Some grass running today! My legs were kind of sore today not sure why... Did some extra stretching later tho! Anyways kid's club was a riot like always.

50 mins total      some amount grass some was on the road (I don't remember)

Also, everyone should buy a dope shade hat for kids club it's soooo nice

Phew, running today was a challenge. Not an overly exhausting challenge but I could feel it. Today was up in the desert on the big fat gnarly sand hill. K, I was trolled so hard because I thought so many times that I was done. Even when I reached the top of the motha I had to start again down the other side. I thot. It wasn't too bad tho at least I know what it will be like next time. I kind of regret not pushing as hard as I could... my feet were really slow in the sand. I think coach was right about it being a great workout for me because it will halp me have quicker feet (wooo sand hills are just for me). Towards the end I was tired but it was gr8 overall.

75 mins total. About 20 mins was a meeean ol sand hill. Next time I will crush that mound like it's nothin

Whew. This hurt. I'm pretty happy about this workout because I kept pushin and stuff but it totally hurt. I kept trying to get into a fast pace and my stomach was all like "heck nah dude i'm going to go ahead and barf". I fought it well but I still wish I could run a normal workout. But some of our guys killed it! We're shapin up niiiiicely.

60 mins total   Gut Grinding Dirt Mile Repeats of Death

Aaaaah... Bloomignewton Park. Wrecking XC scrubs since the beginning of time. We had a chill run over here today to get the course fresh in our minds. Purty gud.

60 mins total and striders*6

42 And it came to pass that in the third year of the reign of the Bear Dog, a small cluster of Holtites gathered together for the purpose of running.

43 They counseled one to another saying: let us run upon the beautiful trail, yea, even the one named Chuckwala. For it is a hearty trail, with hills and cliffs. And it doth please our spirits to endure pain.

44 And after this manner did they speak. Even until all of the party was convinced of the great worth that Chuckwala did hold. Therefore they did meet in the earlier hours, and did commence the journey.

45 And it came to pass that they did behold many gorgeous landscapes. And their eyes did feast upon lizards, and upon rocks, and upon many old hikers. Yea, they did witness many sand spots and cliffs; however, they did not withold their effort in running while doing so. They did press forward still.

46 It was in this way that they did run: hecka fast and righteous. And they did so for 80 minutes. Nothing waivering within the time that was given to them. Also included in their flight was pickups. Yea, even five pickups: each lasting a minute.

47 And thus it was, amen.

Aaaw yeaaah. I kicked ol Sand Hill's butt today. I need quicker feet though. Also, I made a noob mistake and just chilled a lot of the way down... but even after this huge long run I felt amazing. It was awesome. I went zen mode again and didn't feel much pain really. Today was gooood.

95 mins with loooong push up fat ol Sand Hill

Today was pretty gr8! Had grass/road like usual with strides afterwards.

40 mins total in the morning.

Kids club was a ton of fun today! It helps when you're excited to be there too.

I usually forget to blog about weights oops...

20 mins after getting huge

Yikes... today was a beast run until right before Hell Hole. Afterwards it was.... um, hell (lol). I puked my guts out and then tried to keep up to the hill and back to the school. I was just entirely out of energy at that point. I still kept pushing tho! I'm not too upset by it because everybody has crummy days sometimes. I'll bounce back easy!

80 mins with gnarly paces

Also, let this be a lesson unto all: never, NEVER eat 5 bowls of capt crunch and dino nuggets for dinner the day before.

Bam. I told you I'd bounce back. Today was a workout that made us practice our feels for different paces. It was pretty sick and it wasn't too difficult. I rocked it barefoot for most of the workout. So in total I probs ran 8.5 ish miles.

60 mins total   workout with paces @ tempo, threshold, and CV 

Today we met at Vernon Worthen and ran around St. Geezy (Marathon course backwards for some of it). This run I was kind of tired but it wasn't too bad. I've just been thinking a lot about being relaxed in our running. The whole,"Ride the Wave" idea helps me out a lot. In previous blogs I kind of had that same idea actually but I called it Zen Mode or something. #visualization #RobsInspires

55 mins + striedrs tiems 8

Herricun Rim Trail this mornin. I went solo this run and it was actually pretty dang neat. I missed Colton by just a few mins but honestly it felt great to be alone in nature (hippy sounding I know). Like it was different to see how well you do by yourself. People do help a ton but today was just me and the run. I didn't even wear a watch I just checked what time it was before and after. The time ended up being just what I needed. *pauses to think about how cool that was* Mental strength leveled up by 420 points.

80 mins total with fast finish

Daaaang! This was actually a really fun race. But I was WAY late to it and had to start after everyone... haha... not mentioning names or anything but Ellie totally told me the wrong time of the race. Lol. It was nice of the race peeps tho cause they timed me individually and still let me place. It was a good 1st timer for sure. During it I felt epic. I wasn't at all stressed about racing. It felt awesome to go fast and be comfortable with it. Still gonna get way quicker however. Cooled to about 50 mins total because my fam was doing stuff.

Today I slept in like a dweeb... good thing it was raining tho because I could still get in a run and not get roasted by the sun. But before my solo run we had the most LIT game of ultimate frisbee. It was so dope. It should rain every Tuesday (actually jk then Kid's Club wouldn't work but still)

40 mins total--- 20min road, 15min grass, 5min striders*8

This run was loco. I was pretty sick the night before but I tried to tough it out and stuff.... ya that didn't work. I had to take the lower minutes of this long run and go home. I still got our pick up thingies in as best as I could!

70 mins with 2*(10 min @ threshold)

This run was mostly grass! Ran through the sprinklers because we never cut corners. Never. Also, kids club was awesome like always! Last one tho I'm slightly sad...

30 mins of grass.

also had weights in the afternoon w/ some running after

25 mins of toastiness.

What a day, what a day. I'm definately going to improve upon this time but I'm really happy about this race! In all honesty, I get real freaked out before racing (especially if I haven't done one in a while...) but after just going for it and having a great time I remembered how much I love it. I have a lot more confidence in my abilities now and I'm flippin stoked for this year. It was cool to see everyone hyped up about the race and our season.

Beast morning run with my fave team eva! It was cool just to go adventure mode and try somewhere new for once haha. The hill workout was solid and a lot of the crew was there. Getting out of this running funk I've been in by just doing my best and most importantly having a good time. It's been pretty easy for me to be hard on myself due to the fact that we get super intense and serious in some of our meetings. It's not a good place to be if you're stressed all the time so I'm just gonna have fun while I still give my all.

AM----80 mins w/ 100m uphills*8

PM----25 mins w/ some grass

13.5 mi. total

morning w/ at the weight room. Increasing lbs to get swol.

15 mins

55 mins of chillaxness. Super grateful for the ability to run hecka fast and stay in shape

9 miles

AM---- did my morning run feeling pretty snazzy. It went by quick. 25 mins

PM----- Warmed up for days checking out the course and to kill some time before our race. This course is overall very fast and pretty fun. This race was the first time I.......................wait for it.................epic drum roll..................DIDN'T PUKE. #blessed. Grateful to all those people that led me to this point and I won't dissappoint you guys. Although I was entirely winded at the end of the race I felt significant improvement. Now I just need to figure out what to do the times I usually barfed...

85 mins total

AM-- Just weights because of legendary thunderstorms absolute

PM-- 50 mins total including strides. My legs are tiried as fwoof. Muhst res nau. bi

AM-- 25 mins of amazin running like alwaes. My keester es soer. nom. Yoga es der baum. Stretching was nice and chill. Had an amazing effect on my muscles. Unlike Coache's str8 fire towards Miles and Jose. RIP Jose's crops. Too bad coach is right. 5th graders gonna be crying 2nite

PM--- Workout of 15 mins of tempo (6:15 progressing towards 5:30)

Coach literally blew my mind today. I had a little bit of a rough workout that mirrored my race on Wednesday. Like I fought hard and I'm proud of what I did do, but like coach was saying, I needed to embrace running and be more of a part of it (rather than fighting against the essence). This seriously changed my perspective of how I viewed running just in a short amount of time. Mostly because I focus on the pain and how to battle it instead of accepting pain and being part of the amazingness of the sport. I was surprised when the first thing he said was that I needed to relax my form because running is a form and it's beautiful. Grateful for a ultra wise ultra runner for un coache. #harmonious. Can't ever forget why I actually love running. #blest #Jose'sCrops2k17

AM-- This morning was pretty dang rough... tried to eat a snack before practice early in the morning but I ultimately got insane heartburn and had fiery burps the whole time. Oof. Fiery burps are THE WORST. But overall it was a good run to start with. Last night was tough sleeping as well so I didn't get the 8/9 I need... #rip. Nevertheless, gettin ready to toast some noobs at snow canyon tomorrow. My positivity today was off the charts.

60 mins 

PM-- After our legendary speeches we headed out to destroy the softball fields with our feet. The grass felt amazing but my brain currently does not (and here's why). We eventually started to do this game on the field where one person would close their eyes while the runner next to them would tell them where to go. I had my eyes closed and after a while I could run pretty fast while just listening to Dylan (keeping my eyes shut the ENTIRE time). The problem was that Nathan was doing it too and JD (thx noob) didn't steer him right. Our pathes crossed and our heads whacked together with insane force so that I fell on my butt. Moral of the story is this: trust excersices are good; however, don't trust idiots. Second moral of the story: better yet don't be an idiot.
