7 miles in 48:06 on the PRT. That is about a 6:54 pace I think. I was really surprised. I started the first mile at what felt like a 7:45 pace to warm up but I came through at 6:42...I had to slow up quite a bit. I still dont know if I am just running too fast or if my base mileage and fitness are much better than what I thought. I am starting to thinking the latter because I am in my third week of training, do not have any soreness and have been able to do all my workouts about much fast than I planned and am feeling great. On Wed I am doing 3x1600in @5:40 pace w/ 800 jog in between. That should give me a really good idea of where my fitness is.

7 miles on the Provo trail in 49:32. Was a nice easy run in preparation of my 3/1600 on the track tomorrow. I was running into the wind the first 3.5 miles but it was really nice running back. Felt really good. My legs were a bit tired.

Did 8 miles total. 1.5 warm up...3x1600...800m jog after each 1600 and then a two mile cool down. My splits were 5:38, 5:35, 5:31. I was supposed to be at 5:50 for each but I just did not feel like I was working so I kept picking it up. This workout was supposed to really give me an indication of where I am in my training and I would say I am about 4 to 5 weeks ahead of schedule. I was only supposed to do a mile cool down but I locked my keys in the car so I had to run home home to get the spare. I walked back, so no extra mileage there. On a side note, if anyone wants an extra runner for the Wasatch Back relay let me know. I am looking for a team to join but have not had any luck yet.

6 miles. I ran on the PRT towards the canyon from my house. I hate that run because, for some reason, when I am running along University Avenue on the road in front of the country club I seem to run super slow and I lose all energy. Every time I run on this stretch of road this happen. When I run on trails or other side roads I can run just fine....I guess this 1 mile of road is my kryptonite.I was actually kind of tired from yesterdays workout, so I took the run kind of easy. Probably about a 7:20 pace, did not wear my watch.

| 6 miles in 41:55. Kind of windy on the trail. I am always amazed at how it seems the wind changes direction when I do. There was a head wind going out and a head wind coming back. Legs felt good. Feel almost 100% recovered from my mile repeats on Wed. | | Add Comment |

| 13 miles in 1:27:55. Think that is around a 6:50 pace, dont really feel like doing the math. Did a new run today towards the canyon then back on some random side road. I am assuming my math was wrong because I came through at 13 miles in like 1:25 but I know that was not right, so I did another 3 minutes to be sure. Felt really good and my last 3 miles was fairly quick. Next week is all distance with not track or tempo runs, so I should feel well rested. Really good week, my best in a long time. | | Add Comment |
