AM: WORKOUT: 20-MIN PROGRESSIVE TEMPO, 8X50 SECOND HILLS, 12-MINUTE TEMPO I did this workout at the gym on the treadmill. The roads were too icy and I didn't want to take chances running that fast in the dark. I did the tempo efforts at 1.5% incline and the hills at 4% incline. Paces were 20 minutes at 5:15/mile, hills at 4:41/mile, and 12-minutes at 5:10/mile. Tough workout and so much sweat!! PM: 5.5 miles on the treadmill watching an episode of Vikings, avg pace 7:38/mile. Countdown to 2017, moment #4 of 2016: Sand Hollow Marathon Ben, Ken, and I drove down to St George, stayed at my parents' place down there and did the Sand Hollow Marathon as a steady state long run. It was so much fun! We ran 2:36 and ran the whole race together for the most part finishing all three together or within a second for the coolest 1-2-3 overall finishing photo ever! We let Ben take the win (and CR with it) for his first marathon victory. The weather was ideal, the scenery was stunning (Southern Utah in March is green and against the red rock looks awesome). It was pizza and the pool after the race. Good times. |
