*Leave*A*Legacy*

Just tryin' to feel good

Had to get covid tested so I was already down at BYU so I ran with the team. It was just Casey, Adam, Aidan and I.  Aidan started cooking on the way back so we ended up splitting some fast miles. (a couple 5:1X and one 5:0X)

No idea why but my breathing was great today, felt like a normal run. Great blessing

Didn't feel good. plan was to do 4 mile tempo at around 5:15 but ended up just doing 3 cuz my back was hurting. 

4 in the morning, 8.5 in the afternoon. nice and easy

Workout mile, 1200, 800, mile, 1200, 800. None of the times were very quick, i was in the group which suprised me, and we were a lot closer to mantz then I was expecting. Grass was frosted over, it was cold, early, hilly, and basically everything set for some slow times, but good effort. I feel that I'm in a good spot for where I want to be now in order to be ready for march 15.

Felt smooth and good. around 6 flat average even with some icy spots

Felt pretty decent today. 11 with the team

3 easy miles in the morning

Michigan in the afternoon. went 4:33, 3:22, 2:13, and 61 for the track and 5:07, 5:02, 5:02, and 4:58 for the grass tempos. Didn't feel amazing but got it done

3.1 in the morning. My vision was going all fuzzy while running and I felt super weak, idk why

3 easy in the morning. 

workout in the afternoon. 8, 4, 4, 2, 2.

2:12, 61, 61, 28, 28

7 easy for pre-meet. felt pretty good, i think it should translate into a good race

r2 mile warmup

3k race. i'll explain later

Felt pretty decent, breathing wasn't great but it wasn't bad. Legs felt GREAT! went out in 4:27, I feel that I should have gone out with aidan and garnica cuz I feel that I would have slowed down about the same amount, I just was too scared. Felt like I'm finally growing stronger again though so I'm happy about the race, and I should be able to throw down some good times in the future. 

10 mile cool down. 

with some of the team in the morning. Felt suprisingly great! No breathing problems which made me very happy. 

warm up, 8xk, cool down. 

Felt great, could have done one more comfortably and 2 more pushing it. I feel like my old self is nearly completely back, now it's just time to add fitness!

3 easy in the morning

10 more in the afternoon. Coach told me I should go 75 this week, I was planning on 65 so I've got 10 miles to make up... wish me luck

4 miles easy in cedar hills in the morning

2x2 mile in the afternoon. it was too long. averaged 4:54 then 4:52. 

felt kinda tired but got 'er done

Super tired, went at like 5:50 in the morning cuz I had a class at 8 in the morning. Super slushy/snowy/cold/windy/early. kinda rough but got it done

felt pretty tired. hopefully a lower mileage week will help out

got new shoes and they made my legs feel a lot better. 10 in the afternoon

3.1 in the morning in cedar hills

Calf was bugging me a lot. 4x mile. Coach wanted me running in the front with the A group but I didn't feel like I should. but i still did it. went 4:32, 4:33, then switched to flats, and my calf tightened up bad after 1000, but I was going 4:35 pace, then last one i just kinda gave up and ran 4:47. Calf just didn't loosen up. 

made it out about half a mile but my calf was bugging me too much so i just turned around and will try in the afternoon maybe

5 in the afternoon but it was very painful and obnoxious. 

thousand times better than yesterday, my calf hardly hurt walking, and after getting combo done on it as well as massaged and heated, my calf didn't hurt too much on the run. Didn't do the workout though just to play it safe

lazy friday

Nice and easy getting prepped for the race, breathing felt pretty good, calf felt better than it has in the week

1 lap around the course

Not what I hoped. Warm up then race

Felt good, really good, except at 3k in my calf started hurting and it got worse, then at a little after 5k coach pulled me. Super annoying that my calf decided not to cooperate because my breathing was better then it was at OSU. I felt soooo smooth and spoon easy throughout the whole thing besides my calf. Super bummer but maybe I'll get to run conference if my calf is better.

Shout-out to the two other byu fast running bloggers who both won their races!! 22:50 and 24:02 or something speedy like that for mantz and Ethan cannon

10 miles on the alter G and then 30 minutes of biking. Not ideal, but we'll live. 

10 on the alter G 92% cruised most of it at like 5:30 pace, last 2.5 miles were 5 flat at 95%. Felt good. 

30 min on the arc trainer

massage from tony also

45 min. on the alter G

10 miles easy on alter G 95% body weight

a few hours break then 30 more minutes of hard arc training

felt pretty trashy. idk why but I felt nauseous the whole time. I did 2 miles on a plain treadmill with little pain also. 

all split up.

4.3

3

3.5

Felt pretty good. Got 9 hours of sleep last night (mantz would be proud). 4.45 in the morning, we'll see how the afternoon goes.

8 in the afternoon. also did some steeple stretches

4 miles on the alter G

10 miles, did 2x10 minutes. At like 8 minutes on the second one, my calf started feeling it so I backed off and just called it there. 

4.45 in the morning while listening to a class

8.25. Didn't feel too great in the afternoon

4.1 in the morning with Isaac, and some with Mantz, Clayson, Joey, and I forgot who else was there

13.2 in the afternoon. wasn't planning on going that far but the workout lasted long. 

3.5 warmup, 10 minutes at 4:54 pace, 5 min. 4:46 pace, 3 min. 4:39 pace, 2 min 4:28 pace, 1 min 4:18 pace. Felt super smooth, although I think I had a rib out so I'm gonna get that fixed and then i should be ready to roll.

Was way over mileage so an extra lazy friday. 

14.42 at like 11:00. 

MLR. Felt pretty smooth and easy until about 10.5, then my breathing went a little weird. But I feel pretty good compared to how I have been feeling.

2x mile. 4:37, 4:32. Felt decent. 

Coach said we are racing for a spot to go to conference so I decided to use my lazy friday on wednesday so that I could be better prepared for tomorrow. 

4.1 in the afternoon, wasn't planning on running, but I finished my spanish test early so I was able to go to practice

2.1 easy in the morning for a shakeout

few mile warm up.

4 mile race, coach told me before the race, just go out, be patient and then go for it. So that's kind of what I did, I was a little too patient and let Aidan get like a 15 second gap by 2 miles, then I started going, and closed it down to about 5 seconds, then last mile I slowed a bit and the gap got back up to 15 seconds. Most of it was running on my own. So I probably won't go to conference but maybe if I look good, coach said that I could still go to nationals which would be the goal. 

5.3 easy miles in the morning. 

13.4 super easy. went 7, then grabbed a mask, then another 3, then watched my brother race, then ran the last 3. felt good all around

nice and easy 4 miles in the morning

10 miles in the afternoon, workout was 1x800, 2x400, 2x200. went 2:08, 61, 61, 29, 28. Felt smooth throughout. excited to see what I can do soon enough. 

3.1 in the morning

6.9 in the afternoon in Las Vegas. Tried on the Dragonfly's and they felt super good. I'm an alternate for the race tomorrow, but I'm racing the 3k in washington on friday. I'm going to borrow some dragonfly's because they are amazing!

couple 4's couple 2's. watched the guys kill it at conference! Super exciting to see everyone race so well!

easy 4.4 in the morning

3.25 in washington after we got here. 

2.1 in the morning for a shakeout. legs felt kinda sluggish from all the travel but I think they should be fine for tonight. goal is sub 8:00

2 mile warmup 

3k race: went out and felt strong and good the whole time. I don't think I have ever felt so good in a race. I came through the mile at 4:16. i felt a little bit tired by the mile but I was thinking that i would be fine throughout. kept up the pace but then I got stuck behind a guy who slowed down. I kicked it in at the end super well. my splits were 64, 64, 63, 64, 63, 66, 64, 30 (for the 200).

Shout out to the hully bible for cheering me on

3 mile cool down with a guy from washington named julius. he's a cool guy. 

Super fun run, ran out to the space needle and along some other path. super cool

12 in the morning, I'll probably go 4 or 5 this afternoon. goal is 75 miles this week.

That being said, my left calf is now starting to feel a little tight like my right calf was before it got really bad so I'll be taking care of that.

easy 4 in the afternoon doing grass loops around the track

Good workout today. 5x1200 on kiwanas but the hilly portion. went 3:33, 3:27, 3:30, 3:27, 3:28. felt smooth the whole time. 

good times, first 3 alone, next 3.5 with a good high school friend, then last 3 were alone. 

4.25 with adam wood. Back felt kinda tight and my calf was a kinda tight too

6.1 easy in the morning. Saw Easton and ran a bit with him. 

4 miles on the alter G in the afternoon

6xk. felt pretty tired

easy 8 cuz coach didn't want us to do a long run

4 in the morning. plan is to front load the week and hit 55 this week

5x hilly 800. Felt super smooth, back, breathing, and everything was great.

Found out I'll be going as an alternate to nationals. If it was a flat course I would feel like that would be a good call, but since it is a pretty hilly course and I thrive on the hills I'm kinda disappointed but I guess it is what it is. I'll just have to not have any hiccups next year before nationals so I can prove that I am super fit.

Felt kinda bad, I think it's the alergies

8.35 with the team

3.5 in the morning with ellie

8x400 workout in the afternoon. felt pretty smooth

8.1 muddy miles in oklahoma

7 miles on the course

14 miles including warmup, cheering and a nice 10 milers after

9 miles total. did 7.5 plus some strides, then some steeple stretches, then did some practice running over hurdles and ran back to my apartment. Felt suprisingly smooth over the hurdles.

up the canyon with some of the guys

Felt pretty rough the first couple miles but then started feeling more smooth. plan is 70 miles this week

4 miles in the afternoon. felt pretty wrecked.

1200, 800, 1200, 800 jumping every other one for steeple. Not gonna lie, the warmup and the first 1200 and the first lap of the 800 I felt like I was super weak and couldn't breath. But it got better the further along. My form wasn't great, but on one jump I accelerated well into the hurdle and kept the momentum so that was the 1 time I jumped it well. 

First 4 with josh, next 3.5 with the LP squad, last 2.5 with clayson josh, and lil' warner. good times, breathing was kinda tough.

4 in the afternoon

3x2 mile tempo pace. Went 10:14, 10:12, 10:04. Felt pretty smooth through the whole thing. 

water jump practice after. My first 5 were bad, then the last one was much better

12 miles, then some strides with hurdles, then ran back home. 

Felt pretty awful both in the morning and during the workout. 4x800 2x400. Went 2:10, 2:11, 2:13, 2:15, 64, 63. Got dropped pretty good in the last 3 intervals. I'm hoping it's just my back or something because I don't think my fitness just magically disappears and reappears. It's just frustrating not being able to know when or why I don't/ do feel good. 

8 easy miles in the morning. I think the new shoes help me feel a lot better.

5 in the afternoon. Also found that 2 of my ribs were out as well as an inactive rhomboid

Felt super smooth. 2x400 2x200. went 64, 60, 29, 28. Coach said to go around 64 for the first, then quicker for the second. 

easy pre race plus strides

Not what I expected. I thought I felt pretty good but through the race didn't feel it. Super suprised that I did as well as I did seeing how terrible I felt on saturday and today (sunday). I think there is promise for the future after seeing this race. 

Back killed, could barely breath and legs were tired.

5 miles on the hydroworx

8 miles on the alter g. 2 warm up, 4 at 5 min pace, then 2 cooldown. I should have gone longer but I was so bored staring at the wall. I biked after too

3.5 miles outside, 8 on the alter G. Rachel morrin hopped on which talking made it pass wayyyy quicker cuz I was so sick of the alter G

5 miles outside. biked later

7 miles kinda quick. My heart rate was getting up pretty high but it felt super smooth

just 6 outside cuz I felt really dizzy and my vision was blacking out for some reason.

Felt much better than yesterday. 5 in the morning with josh, then 5 in the afternoon doing loops on intramural field. I have a bit of a sore throat though, my roommate must have passed on whatever he had but luckily it only lasted 2-3 days. 

not a long run but that'll do

nose was bleeding in the race, back hurt, pretty slow

Just happy I ran

Got my hips realigned and that actually helped me feel much better. mile 1200, 800, 400. 4:29, 3:19, 2:11, 60

easy in the morning with luke

4 in the afternoon

10k debut, fell off at 2.75 miles, rallied back at the end

Glad that I won... cuz if i didn't i would have ended up dropping out cuz i was the only one. Adam wood paced me and then I tried to hold on to be able to get to regionals... didn't get it but my legs were wrecked from yesterday

pretty sure I was suffering from heat exhaustion. Didn't drink anything, was running in the middle of the day and went too quick and too many hills so my fault. Stopped in the shade for a bit cuz and was dry heaving and felt like I was gonna collapse... and was still 3.5 miles out.
