I ran from my Mother-in-law's home out to the Keane Road Trail and ran that out and back to West Richland, avg pace 5:50/mile. There was a light layer of fresh snow and I didn't really plan to run fast, but I got moving pretty good and just went with it and ended up with 7.75 miles or so of progression 5:40/mile for 0.75 and then 5:26, 5:31, 5:34, 5:18, 5:17, 5:15, 5:09.

INTERVAL SESSION

I did an old school interval session today. It's been a very long time since I've done some hard intervals and hit some of these faster paces. But, being at sea level and wearing true flats for the first time in two years I decided to go fast today. I aimed for four sets of 800-400-200-1,000 meters with 2:00-1:30-1:00-3:00 inactive rest after each interval. The goal on pace is goal, sea-level race pace at 5k/3k/mile/10k. I was shooting for 2:18/1:05/30/3:00.

               800M         400M        200M        1,000M

Set 1       2:19.2        1:05.5        30.1           2:55.7

Set 2       2:16.8        1:05.8        29.6           2:53.3

Set 3       2:15.7        1:04.5        30.0           2:53.7

Set 4       2:14.7        1:05.2        28.5           2:48.3

Avg         2:16.6        1:05.3        29.6           2:52.8

20.8 miles from my Mother-in-law's house to the Badger Mtn parking lot, two ascents up Badger, and then back, avg pace 6:05/mile with 2,300 feet of elevation gain.

I'm feeling fit again for the first time since late September or early October. I felt quite strong on the run and was holding pretty quick paces up the steep climbs.

The weather was pretty dang frigid with some cold windchill.
