Kilometer Killer

Previous week

More minutes with a killer race on Saturday. I'm definitely seeing the drastic difference of myself at this point last year; I'm ready. Weights went well and it should be better this week. 

This week

Might have to recover from the race by taking the lower end of the minutes on Monday, but I'll just see how I feel. On Wednesday, I'm gonna push myself up with Julien and Carson on the hills. Gonna be good

AM over 1:01:19; 7:36 pace

Not a good run today. While I was kind of recovering from Saturday, I still wasn't all in. Only went 60 and it wasn't a great 60. I had a side ache for the last 20 minutes or so. Overall, I've gotta have a better week. 

AM over 46:05; 7:30 pace; 8x striders 

Little better today. Actually still had a side ache, but I pushed through it. 20 minutes of barefoot then the striders. Won again today in ultimate. 

Weights- Bench 3x5 of 95; Squat 3x5 of 165; Thrust 3x5 of 115; Deadlift 3x5 of 155

AM over 1:00:03; 7:32 pace

Once again, I went to practice thinking the workout was today, but it's actually tomorrow. Oh well. We went out to the turtle road and turned left after a while and went through the desert into Green Springs. Then we just went down onto Telegraph and made our way back to the school. I felt really good today, and the second half was better than the beginning, even though it wasn't a very fast run. It's all good though. Tomorrow will be really good. 

AM over 1:00:00; 7:36 pace; hill repeats- 5x 60 sec w/1 min recovery after 3rd, 1x 85 sec

Today was a really good run. Did some hill work on the grapevine hill. I set a goal this week to push through these, and I think I accomplished that. They didn't, by any means, feel easy, but I had to dig deep a little on the 85 second rep. It was a good pack for the duration of the workout. I'm proud of my boys. 

Weights- Bench 3x5 of 100; Squat 3x5 of 175; Thrust 3x5 of 115; Deadlift 3x5 of 165

AM over 1:01:00; 7:16 pace; 8x striders

Another quality day, but this run was finally a quicker one. We met over by the Dixie Center at the Confluence park. Felt nice to push the pace a bit. The striders felt unusually easy today. 

AM over 1:05:00; 7:16 pace

Ran with Mikey and Carson out and back on the road the goes into the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve. I struggled quite a bit the first half, but this run was about the negative split. I handled the second half a lot better, so that's a positive.
