LONG INTERVALS: 5X4 KILOMETERS WITH 1K MODERATE-PACED REST

It was a tough workout this morning. I was hoping to successfully extend the 5:11/mile pace I did on the 3k reps last week. But, I got a bad side-stitch on the last rep and really bonked pretty good.

Splits: 12:48 13:01 12:46 13:26 13:47 overall pace was 5:17/mile for the reps and 5:29/mile to include the MODERATE-PACED rest. Not what I was hoping for, BUT it was 1 second per mile better than same workout in April for Ogden buildup. Considering the warmer weather this morning, we'll call it progress.

PM: 5 miles easy with Denver, Jared, Taylor, and a tiny bit with Ken and Janae, avg pace 7:25/mile.

10.05 from Walmart grocery on 193 with Jared and Jason, avg pace 7:47/mile. We ran Kay's Creek Parkway and it was at least 20 degrees cooler down there in the hollow; you could see your breath. Then Jared told us there were mountain lions all the time down in there, so then of course every sound in the dark was obviously a mountain lion ready to get us...fun times. So, when you see the Strava pace, those aren't strides :)

16-MILE QUICK PACE LONG RUN

We had a large group meet up at OHS including Ben, Jason, Moss, Dave, Jared, and Matt. Ben, Jason and I warmed up to Burch Creek trailhead and then did a 16-mile quick pace tempo. We ran down into Uintah, up into the Terrace, and the into downtown Ogden. My goal was to average 5:30/mile, which is net downhill but has the toll road which is 300-foot climb.

Splits: 524 527 523 535 532 509 522 520 528 620 537 522 523 522 522 521 for an avg of 5:28/mile.

Ben ran very well too and is rounding into shape nicely for a huge marathon PR at STG!
