WORKOUT: 2x4-MILE REPS

I met Bryant at Farmington Station for the workout. We did 3.6 miles warm up with strides, changed shoes, and started workout. First set I ran 20:11 (5:04, 5:01, 5:05, 5:00) five minutes jog rest and then second set where wind and rain picked up in 20:12 (5:04, 5:05, 5:00, 5:03).

This was a solid workout and the last major workout before USA Half Marathon National Championships next weekend. I feel ready. I just need to freshen the legs up a bit with a taper and then enjoy that sweet sea level oxygen next week en route to a PR!

LIGHT FARTLEK

Amy was going to Smith's in Ogden to shop, so I went with her and ran a course home from there. I ran down Jackson to 35th, up above WSU on Country Hills, Old Post, South Ogden to Toll, and back on South Weber Drive. I did the fartlek during miles 5-7 alternating each quarter mile between half marathon effort and a steady state. Roughly 74s for the half marathon efforts and 83/84s for the float or 4:56/mile and 5:35/mile paces.

Nothing left to do for next weekend, except freshen up and avoid stupidity.
