A strong 17 miler today. First part was through rolling hills in an attempt to replicate what will be a challenging Trials course. From mile 6 on it was all flat. 6:30/pace for the easy miles. Felt good despite some minor residual soreness from the Saturday hill workout.

An easy 10 this morning at an easy 6:45 pace. I must say that running from start to finish in the pitch black is already wearing on me.

Ran 7x800m intervals around the track in 2:22-2:25 with 2:00 rest between each. Gusty winds made it a bit tougher than normal but it was a good workout. It was good to get some footspeed back into the workouts.

Fun Trials-like workout today. 4 mile warmup and then rolled right into six miles at about 5:18s, not threshold pace but faster than marathon pace. The "course" I did was a half mile loop that was .2 miles uphill (5 ft. to 62 ft. in elevation) .05 flat, .2 miles downhill followed by .05 flat. Did that six times to not only replicate the rolling hills and the need to transition frequently between ups and down, but to get used to the "lap" phenomenon of the Trials course.

Felt really good and I'm feeling more and more ready for the Trials.

Gentle 15 this morning in 32 degree weather and fog. Not a huge deal for the Utah runners but a little chilly for us Washingtonians.

After yesterday's workout my coach asked me to take it really easy on the 15-miler this morning.."7:15s" was his plea. Well, 6:45s will have to do. I honestly tried to slow down. It felt like 7:00-7:15 pace but that was probably because i ate way too much pizza last night.

 

Feeling really good.
