10 miles easy with Denver on the Davis County section of Bonneville Shoreline Trail, avg pace 8:13/mile. It was nice to get out a bit later this morning and actually see some sunshine. The trails were a nice change of scenery too, even the North-facing slopes were 100% clear of snow, crazy!

AEROBIC BUILDER

I met up with Jason, Bret, and Ken for an aerobic builder. The plan was 2x4-miles with about 4:00 jog for rest. Jason was planning 5:20 pace for his last hard workout before Phoenix next weekend. I told him I'd shoot for high 5:30s on first set and then try to hang with him as long as I could on second set at 5:20.

 

We started the first set and those three took off fast! So I was bringing up the rear and came thru mile in 5:21! Yikes, that was probably too fast but I decided to see how long I could hold it. By end of mile two I caught Ken and Bret. And by end of three I got to within two seconds of Jason. I finished first set with 5:21 5:19 5:16 5:17.   

I figured I had spent most my legs and energy and was hoping to just stay sub-6:00 on second set. We took 7 minutes rest due to bathroom breaks and then started second set and I felt crazy good. I ran the whole set with Jason in 5:20 5:22 5:22 5:17! I was blown away at how fast I was able to run. I did not see that coming! I am very happy with today. In the evening I did core, hips, pushups, and some lower body-weight strengthening.

7 miles easy with Ben and Jon on mostly grass and a bit of dirt at the fairgrounds, avg pace 8:01/mile. My goal is to try and get more recovery runs done on softer surfaces this year. After the run I did core, hips, and pushups at the gym.
