Train insane or remain the same

AM: Chill morning run on the Hospital loop. 

PM: Ran Middle for the first time. It was sweet. Really liked it. Bonus, the fountain of speed was on! Apparently middle has more verticle than upper.... Strides. 

Warm up to Beus, drills, strides

Workout was 2x400,7x800,2x400,2x200. Faster on the first two 4's. Then 2:26's for  the 8's. Back down on the 4's and 2's. We were running pretty smoothly on the 8's. It was all feeling pretty good. 

Cooldown and lifting. 

Easy 40 minutes. Going down to St. George this weekend! I’ll be at the Cedar invite so I get to see some Pine View homies :) 

Drove over to 21st street Pond for the tempo run. I like that place. It's really nice for tempo runs with each lap being a lil over a mile. 

Warm up, strides, drills. Workout was 2mile tempo, 90 sec rest, 2 mile tempo, 8 min rest 6x400. I hit 10:28 and 10:23. It felt smooth, good strong effort, my achilles was fine, fun times. The 4's were faster to open the legs up a bit. Cooldown and then lifting.    

Carson and I embarked on our totally lit weekend in St George right after my History class. We got to the Cedar invite with a JV race to go and then the varsity. The team raced well and got 1st for boys, 2nd for girls. After it was all done, Carson and I did our 60. It was perfect timing. Light when we started, dark when we finished, and an amazingly beautiful sunset during it. We ran down Thunderbird way and got on the Coal Creek trail going into the canyon. Good times.  

Did about 65 of my 90 with the guys. We ran on the River Trail which I've done before while in St George. Its right below the house of a family friends house that we've stayed in. Its flat and fast so that plus the guys being a little antsy made it a medium effort. I got some of the run on my watch and then some on Juliens. About 6:25avg for 14 miles. Had some nice chocolate milk after and a lil nap. 

The rest of the day was pretty sweet with going to Pine Valley and playing pickleball.
