AM run 6 miles at Sugar House Park, snowing felt OK. But the fitter I get the longer it takes until I really feel like I'm in the flow. Six miles is not enough to go into autonomic mode but it was a good run.
Afternoon run with the East High Team. 5.75 miles. Want them to start some tempo runs forcing them to run a little out of their comfort zone. So, today we ran from the school down to Liberty park. At the park, each runner was to run 1 minute slower than race pace for the mile on the outer side walk. JV runners did one lap and Varsity runners did two laps. It's almost 3 miles for two laps. I ran 18:26 not pushing too much . It was comfortable. We then ran back to the school. It was raining light.
Evening Run 8.25 Didn't want to get wet again so I drove to the gym and ran on the tread mill. The nice thing about a tread mill is when your tired it can help keep you going. I started at 7:30 pace at 2.0% incline 8mph and increased speed after each mile my last mile was at 9mph. Total time 58:28. Good overall day. Need to stay motivated the next four days and it should be easy to hit my goal for the week of 130.
USATF board meeting tomorrow night. If anyone has ideas or questions that you might want discussed. Send me a comment... |
