The King of Controversy

AM - 9 miles. 4x1600 (goal - 5:23ish) with 400 recovery and 1.5 mile warm/cool and 2x300 all out. I finally moved up to 89 which was good but I ended up running slower than last week. I am honestly afraid of this workout because I always stink it up. My times ended up being 5:27, 5:29, 5:31, 5:36. I really should be able to run better than this but I get really scared about messing up again and that just screws me up more. My 300s weren't very impressive 47 and 44. My foot started to hurt a little bit on the cool down. Weights and Plyos after.

PM - 3 miles. Got in a quick one by myself later in the evening. I felt pretty good besides a little foot pain. 

AM - 3 miles. Good run this morning with a good turnout. Yoga was great.

PM - 5.25 miles. 8x200 at 3 to 4 seconds faster than 800 race pace (goal - 28 to 29) with decreasing recovery and 1.5 mile warm/cool. It wasn't super hot today but it was pretty windy. Luckily, we used the wind to our advantage as much as possible. My times were 29, 29, 28, 29, 29, 28, 32, and 29. I love speed workouts but this was pretty difficult. They went by super quick and we mostly had the wind at our backs but it was still tiring. Good push and I felt pretty good. Very little foot pain but I did feel a bit dehydrated. 

AM - 3 miles. A bit chilly this morning but I felt great and very little foot pain even while doing Plyos. 

PM - 6 miles. Foot hurt a bit more this afternoon but I felt pretty good otherwise. Weights after. 

AM - 3 miles. Foot hurt a bit but my knee bothered me more this morning.

PM - 5 miles. Coe #2 (200, 220, 240, ... , 300) with equal recovery and 1.5 mile warm/cool. Pretty easy workout today. It was definitely easier than Coe #1. I had no trouble hitting my times and on a few I was even a little fast. I just tryed to stay right with Abel and those guys today and it went pretty well. I was usually just a few steps behind. Foot only hurt on the cool down and didn't really notice any knee pain. Super bummed to find out SUU was canceled. I was really looking forward to running some fast times. 

AM - 3 miles. I actually felt really good this morning. No foot or knee pain.

PM - 5 miles. 4 miles and striders. Pretty windy today but we said yolo and went and jumped in Sandbergs. The water was a bit chilly but it was the wind that got me. It was a nice easy run and super fun. Striders felt great too but foot hurt after. 

AM - 5 miles with 1 mile hard finish. I met up with Jake, Preston, Dallin, and Bryan this morning and we ran Mustang Pass. It was stormy today and it rained a little bit but it was still super fun. We did our hard finish on the road and was really good. Preston and I led it and we got moving really strong. Really good push around 5:20ish pace. Great run but my knees hurt a bit. No foot pain.
