The King of Controversy

AM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. Good run this morning. Legs felt a lot better than they did last week. 

PM - 6.5 miles. 4x1000 at 85% (goal - 3:25) with 3 min recovery and 2x300 all out with full recovery. Times: 3:18, 3:23, 3:25, 3:15, :46, :43. Decent workout today. Legs felt pretty good but I just felt weird on the third one. My chest hurt and I'm not sure why. Heart burn maybe. It went away but it screwed me up a bit on that third one. 300s went pretty well. First one was garbage but the second one I just never felt tired and I ran the fastest I ever have in a 300. Maybe I can dip under 40 this year. 

PM - 5 miles. Trail Run Tuesday - Temple Quarry. Girls started before us because we were waiting for Jason to show up and this trail sucks to get around people. I ended up slipping and getting scraped up a bit trying to get around them but it's whatever. The trail was okay. Not my favorite by any means but it was fun. Legs felt a bit tired but nothing even close to last week so I was fine. 

AM - 3.75 miles. 30 min easy. Decent morning run. Nothing to report.

PM - 6.75 miles. 50 min with 15 min tempo (goal pace: 5:42) on the track. I did a little bit better than last week I think but still not quite where it should be. I stuck with Nick for the first mile and hit right around 5:42 so right on pace but slipped off from there. I fell back from Nick and soon ended up in the group with Andrew, Jake, and Dallin. I stuck there for most of the second mile but just after we passed the girls I let them get away and I ran the last 5 mins or so by myself. Just got to work on sticking with those guys better.

PM - 5.5 miles. Old Man Hills (1x800, 3x400). Alright workout. The 800 was solid and the 1st 400 was pretty good too but the last two 400s weren't very good. I just felt so drained on the last two and I couldn't stick it in there. Times were something like: 2:45, 1:11, 1:18, and 1:22). Hills have always been tough for me so I guess I'll just have to keep working at it.

AM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. Decent morning.

PM - 8.5 miles. ROOT BEER MILE!!! So today we did our annual Mr. PVHS Root Beer Mile. It was pretty crazy. Jason won again easily and I was basically last place and threw up. We hit up Prospector after and that was pretty fun even if it was all muddy from the rain today.

PM - 8 miles. 62 min with 15 min LT tempo (broken up into 10 and 5 min segments). Goal Pace: 5:22. Met up with Jake, Andrew, and Bryan and we did our tempo down Washington Fields Road. The first 10 min, I started out in front because I needed to hit a faster pace but I just couldn't do it and so I ended up just fading back with Andrew and Jake and ran the rest with them. On the 5 min part, Andrew took the lead and I just stuck right on him. We ended up hitting like 5:30 average for both of them which was what Jake and Andrew's time was supposed to be so that was good. I didn't hit my time but that still was a very good and actually pretty tough push for me so I think it was a great workout.
