Train insane or remain the same

AM: 4 on Redwood 

PM: 1 mile warm up. Strides. Workout was 5x500. First 400 at your 800 pace then kinda what you have left, sorta go all out if you can. I just held the pace for the last hundred. 6 minutes active rest. Splits were 59,59,61,59,59. For the first 2 just went behind Chris and Dylan, then they died the third one #sprinterprobs and so it was slow. After that went back to the right pace. Really happy with the workout. Was expecting it to be harder cuz it was last time we did it. 1 mile cool down. 

Distance run passed the Broadheads to the T in the road and back 6:54ap.

AM: 4 on redwood, first time this year wearing shorts 

PM: 6.5 Rail Trail 

2 mile warm up, strides then whistle hills. 2x15,20,25 second sprints up a gradual hill then 1x20,25,30 with slow jog back down to start line. I feel it went well, was kinda tired before we started and then was pretty tired on the cool down. Finished to 8. 

Today was the infamous 20x400 to finish awesome week. Usual warm up and stuff. Started the first 5 backwards at 5k pace, hit 74's with 45 seconds rest. Then went the normal way. 2 mile pace, hit 68's with 1 min rest. Then current mile pace, hit 66's. 1:30 rest. Then faster than mile pace/whatever you can do and hit 63-64's and 60 for the last one. 2 minutes rest. Legs were definitely tired and heavy afterwards but I was in a lot better shape after the workout than I was last year. 

As much I like to sleep in, waking up early and doing the workout makes it feel more legit and then we had breakfast after and it was just one of those days that you look back as one of your favorite days of the year and I'm really gonna miss working hard with the people I love. 2 mile cool down to 9. 

Very easy recovery run on the MCT 7:13ap. I've been watching a lot of Flotrack's "Driven" videos lately so I was imagining what I would have said in my video lol. Saw two guys with hover boards. One of them fell of his and it rolled off the path and got all dirty. At the very end saw fellow Weber commit Katie Cornell from AF. 

Shout out to my main man Chicken Nugget. He got his mission call tonight to Singapore. He is one of the nicest kids I've ever met and is spiritually buff as heck so I know he's gonna kill it in the field. 

AM: 4 on Redwood 

PM: 5 and then 5x150 build ups 

4 miles and then a circuit workout with some lunges, squats, push-ups, and then finished up to 9. 

Was gonna go out for a night run and then remembered that our young mens was playing fugitive, so I  got my running shoes and went to that. We went to a different church and had to make it back to ours and it was exactly a mile. So I made it to my church first without a car in sight, ran back to the starting point, and back to my church again 6:58,50,55.  

AM: 4 on redwood

PM: 3 mile warm up then 2x800,600,400,200. The same workout LP did on Monday except a 200 at the end. Did it with Nugget while the rest of the guys are doing it tomorrow. 8 and 6 at 2mile pace, 4 and 2 at mile pace. 2 minutes rest in between everything. 4 min between sets. Splits were 2:19, 1:42, 64, 31, 2:17, 1:42, 64, 30.  Pleased with the workout. Cooldown 1.75. 

5 easy on Parkway before getting my wisdom teeth out. Everything went really well and I wasn't even loopy. Should be a nice recovery 

Walked 5 miles with my awesome mom in 1:09, I'll count it as 2.5 running miles. 

5 mile walk with my dad and Duke 

No I didnt actually run today. But while I have you here, you should go make a bracket and join the ESPN tournament challenge group I made. Username: Lehi Track Password: lehitrack (even if you're from another team i want you to join) You can have two different brackets. Ok thank you for your time. 

30ish minutes on the bike testing if my mouth was ok. 

AM: 35 minutes on the bike. Everything was good. 

PM: Lone Peak Dual. Just went and hung out and watched. Then before the two mile went and ran some of the AF Canyon Half course and then did a few miles on the track backwards and everything felt good. 

Shout out to Lehi and Lone Peak for some great performances today and that there are tons of people that have blogs so we own the race reports and recent comments #dowork 

Ran 5 out to Fox Hollow and then went on this little dirt path behind some houses that connected to the rail trail 7:02ap.

First day of March Madness was so sick haha I love it. Shout out to Yale for pulling an upset, didn't pick that one. Unshoutout to Colorado for letting uconn come back and win. Good luck to my boys from Weber State, gonna take down Xavier tomorrow. 

AM: 4 and then some strides.  

PM: 1.5 warm up and strides. Workout 5x1000 at 2 mile pace with 3:30 rest. We hit 2:53,2:55,2:55,2:56,2:54. When its been 2 mile pace, I've tried to go 9 flat but a thousand is really long so I was ok with being a few seconds slower. Effort was good. Cooldown to 7.5  for the afternoon. 

Out and back to the Timpamogos temple. 6:57ap. It was a really good time. Nice weather with a cool breeze. Boa shorts. Nothing better. 

Shout out to Spencer for ice bathing with me in the canyon after. 

Ran straight out to Saratoga today and got the farthest away from the hs I ever have. Nice easy relaxed day. Talked some politics and took an ice bath. 

Shout out to Will Handley from Timp for getting his mission call to Nagoya Japan, the same place that Bryce Morgan is! 

Shout out to Jamison Wilkes from Lone Peak for getting called to the Argentina Salta mission! 

Shout out to Gooch for getting called to serve in the Minneapolis Minnesota mission which has parts of Canada, Michigan, and Illinois apparently. 

I don't think I ever gave a shout out to Nick Hill from PV. He got his mission call to El Salvador which is super sick so shout out to him and all these guys for serving. 

AM: 5 on redwood with some strides 

PM: Didn't have time to run before my check up appointment for my wisdom teeth. The office is in Saratoga so I just went home and got my stuff and did my pre meet at Westlake in my new spikes. 2 miles warm up, strides 2x400 at 68,65 then cool down. 

Got up to Davis and it was a lil chilly but it got nice and never was that bad. I ran the mile first. 1.75 warm up and strides. I thought it was gonna be Garek, Talon, Colter and I but Garek and Colter scratched so it was just me and #talonhull pace. I tried to stay on him as long as I could. I managed 2 and a half-3/4 is laps till he got a nice gap on me and I just held on and kicked it in decently hard for 2nd. 4:25 was the time, I was hoping for better but it's the first mile race of the season. I know I'm gonna run great times #2blessed2bestressed

2 mile cool down and then I elevated my legs for 13 minutes and chilled. Was gonna do the open 8 but Asa's 4x8 team needed a spot, which is always a good time and I was gonna get more recovery because it was after the 2 mile in which Ryan and Thomas both ran awesome, so I switched to that. I ran the lead off leg and sat in third the first lap. Adam Wood from Herriman went into the lead and I went with him. Last hundred pulled up beside him and tried to pass, he responded and we passed off the baton side by side pretty much. I handed the baton off at about 2 minutes Jamie said, and crossed at about 2:02. She thinks if it was just an open, run thru the finish it would have been 2:01 to 2:01.5 so a respectable time. We ended up getting 4th place. Shout out to Collin for running around a 56 first lap lol. 1.5 cool down backwards around the track with Asa and Jake, then another 1.5 backwards with Papa Heaps cuz they gave me a ride home so I could finish my mileage. After went to pizza pie and it was a grand time.

Huge Happy Birthday shout out to Megan!

Shout out to Reeves for getting this girls number that worked there. Her face was nice to look at.

AM: 4 on redwood 

PM: East recovery run at 7:26 by North Point elementary. 

A few during lunch with Asa and Dallin, then to the highland sign and back with Josh. 

AM: Shakeout 4 miles with Asa to state street from his house. My legs were pretty tired. It's his birthday so I took him to Kneaders after and it was sick.

PM: We had our super lit speed workout under the lights. It was seriously so dope. 6x400 at mile pace and then 3x200 all out. Hit 61,62,62,63,62,62,28, then 27,27 I think. I was racing Easton on the second and Chris on the last, it was fun. Mile cool down backwards around the track with the boys and Jamie. Shout out to her for killin her 4x400 and Jhoan for taking some sick pics. Went and chilled at Asa's and helped him out with some serious business. 

AM: 3 on redwood 

PM: 8 miles up killers and towards pizza pie and back up the dip. Forgot about my morning run and  realized that I was gonna be over, and my it band kinda hurt, so I got a bike at thoms and rode it back to the high school. 

My mission call came today and I'm opening it at 7:45. If you would like to come, text/dm me or something for my address. Feel free to guess where I'm going too. 

I got called to Paris France if you didn't hear, leaving August 3rd and I'm nervous but extremely excited! Josh got his call also and he's going to Peru and leaves the day before me.

We had a workout today and I didn't really want to do one but then me and Thom did a nice 5 mile warm up so that helped. The workout was 9x200. First 3 were at "slower than 800 pace" then 800 pace and faster than 800 pace. My watch could possibly be broken and I'm really sad about it cuz I love my watch. So I didn't really get the splits. It felt pretty good. I would have liked something longer. Cooldown to 10 in a freaking snow storm. 

Announced the dual meet after and it was freaking hilarious.   

AM: 4 on Redwood 

PM: 7 to Utah Lake and back. My watch still works! 

Ran to Willowcreek and told Madame Iverson that I got called to Paris but she wasn't that hyped and when I said she should help me remember my French before I left she just said go talk to my daughter in French. Then we ran back on state street and 2100 and got to 9 for the day. Stretched after with the basketball coaches who are also the math teachers and talked about how I bombed my test.

On the way to Mama Bears room I told Madame Magelby that I got called to Paris and she was much more excited for me. She gave me two French books with assignments and activities and stuff to brush up on, then she offered to give me some money for my mission, and to top it all off she gave me a French Book of Mormon! I was gonna go get one and now I don't have to so shout out to her. 

Then in Mama Bears room I looked at the Arcadia heat sheets that came out today and guess what?! We made the INVITATIONAL of the 4xMile! It's Ryan, Thomas, Collin and I. (Our homies from lone peak will also be in this race :) then I made the seeded mile (but I'm gonna scratch this one) and the SEEDED 3200! (My boy Ryan is also in this race :) and then Aiden Reed from Montana that I know from Footlocker West and Simplot dm'd me and he's in the same race and said that a couple other kids from Simplot are in it too. It's gonna be awesome. Thomas made the rated heat of the 3200 and Michael and Austin made the open 3200 so Lehi will be well represented.
