Track Workout (Breakdown) - Timpanogas Track

Lunch:  My right hammy and calf have been sore and tight since last week and I wanted to give myself some more down time to do the workout the crew did this morning.  I felt decent during the wu so I decided to give it a go.  Weather was fair.  Windy and raining but oh well its better than running on a dreadmill which I have not done once this year.  I currently weigh 170lbs which is clydesdale to me.  I think this will greadually continue to come down so my speed will be better turnover.  I weighed 163 last july and just need to keep doing better on my nutrition.  I had nothing left for a slow 200 but I did my best to plug away on this workout at a solo effort.  I should have done 2 more 200's but my right leg felt tight so no reason to do something stupid.  My legs are really tired right now.  Just glad to get some turnover.

AM:  Matt's house. Turkey Point Loop with Mike, Toni, Chad and Matt. Beautiful morning. Great talk. I took a shortened the run a little and decided to go up 1200 west back to Matt's house. Long story short, two undercover police cars did a high speed chase on that small stretch of road while I was on it. Startled me pretty good. One of the cars almost hit me as it came back the other way to chase this car they were after. I wasn't paying attention until right as it happened. They were going 90 mph down a road that is 25-35 mph normally. Pretty crazy ending to the run.

LR w/MP Tempo

AM:  First off Happy 38 Special to BD Smiles aka Brandon Dase. Great crew showed up this morning at Orem Soccer Fields. Many guys doing different runs and tempos during. Trist and I wanted to warm up 5.5 and then get into a long MP tempo. We started at the avalanche by the Bridal Vail Bridge after a quick pit stop and decided to head up PRT to South Fork and then turn around and head towards Will's Pit Stop and then another turn around back to Orem Soccer Fields. Pretty decent course we thought. I felt pretty fatigued and tight on the warmup but I hoped I could just shake it off and just be fine once we got started on the tempo. I had two GI on me and knew where and when I wanted to take them. Trist and I worked really well on the way up. I told him to hold back and run ME so that he would have plenty in the tank. The tempo really was fun. We enjoyed talking to each other and working together on the splits. There were times when I felt ok this struggle is done and the rythmn is there. I did not feel comfortable at all today and as we got closer to Will's Pit Stop I was tightening even more. When we made the quick turn to head back to Orem Soccer Fields my left calf tightened up really bad. I've been stretching and foam rolling all week with little success and I felt like going into today was going to feel forced. My breathing was great which I'm very happy about. But my legs were just fatigued. Anyways at 10.25 I told Trist I'm done. My calf could no longer red line with the tightness. I backed off to 7:40's for the rest of the run. 

wu - 7:25 for 5.5

10.25 MP tempo (6:58, 6:40, 6:34, 6:26, 6:21, 6:17, 6:23, 6:23, 6:31, 6:32, 1:35 for the .25)

CD - 7:45 for 5.25

made the most of the situation. Glad to run with Trist today who looked great. Excited for Boston. I have thoroughly enjoyed the past ten weeks training cycle and look forward to improving more. Great breakfast with the crew this morning after. Always fun with these dudes. MIH
