Pushups & planks

Ran 10 miles around the orchards in Santaquin.  First 4 miles were easy and then I kind of impulsively decided to do a few MP tempo miles.  I was freezing and realized I needed to go faster than a 8:30 pace to get home and get to work in time. ha ha 7:19, 7:15, 7:11, 7:10.  Not much of a workout but it did help stimulate what marathon pace will feel like.  It felt controlled and maybe maintainable?  Cooled down 2 miles back to my house.  I didn't want to push myself too hard today since I am still recovering from the 5k Saturday but I think this workout, although short was just what I needed.

PM:  2 mile shake out jog with the pup. 8:45 pace.

40 minutes weights at the gym.

7.6 miles on the treadmill easy, 2% incline.

PM:  3 miles jogging with my sister and my nephew pushing the jogging stroller. 9:26 pace.  I must say I am getting much better at pushing the jogging stroller.  My nephew is no longer afraid for his life because of my inability to stear. haha!

Track Day!!  I am really committed to this track thing.  I didn't want to do shorter reps because my hamstrings are still a little tight from the 5k so I decided on 5 x 1 mile @ 10k pace with 400 meter of active recovery.  Goal was a controlled 6:45 pace.

Jogged up to the track 2.5 miles.  Did a lap of drills to warmup.  High knees, butt kicks, and some stretching.  Splits were 6:39, (The new workout became negative splitting.....I am not competitive at all) 6:35, 6:33, 6:31, 6:28.  The effort on the last 2 repeats was probably much harder than it needed to be but that is my own fault.  A good workout none the less.  Jogged back home.

Planks & pushups at home.

PM:  2 mile shake out run. 8:45 pace  Legs are tight but the shake out felt good.  I am going to take it super easy tomorrow.

20 minutes weights at home working triceps & biceps with my little 10lb dumbells.  Mostly just trying to wake myself up for the run. :D

8 miles easy recovery.  I wore my compression sleeves to run this morning because my calves were a little sore.  Felt great once I got going.  The effort felt really easy but the pace was faster than my normal recovery pace. 8:04.  I'm going to blame it on the gorgeous morning.  Something about nice weather seems to naturally make me run a little faster I think.

PM:  3 miles easy.  More easy miles tomorrow and then a good long run with MP tempo miles planned for Saturday.

30 minutes weights at the gym.

Ran from the gym to the Spanish Fork river trail and did one lap around the trail and then back to the gym.  Kept it easy and felt kind of sluggish on the run.  I'll blame it on the overcast weather. :D

Back to double digit runs.  I was up early to get this one in before heading to Logan for the day with my family to celebrate Mothers Day.  I had 2 goals for this run.  The first was to not stop my watch the entire time and practice fueling while running (something I suck at). And the second was to hit at least 6 miles at marathon tempo pace.

Ran from my house to the mouth of payson Canyon (6 miles), and then 4.5 miles up the canyon.  Then turned around and ran back to my house.  Tough run with all of the uphill followed by the pounding of the downhill.  GREAT practice for UV marathon.  First 10 miles were easy and last 8 were at tempo effort elevation adjusted for pace.  7:51, 6:55, 7:09, 7:06, 7:22, 7:19, 7:01, 7:23 (was going to quit the tempo at this point but decided to push it once I got halfway.)  Overall pace for the run was 7:43

Aerobically I felt great the entire run but my legs (quads & hamstrings) started to give out towards the end.  Probably a combination of the high mileage this week and the uphill running.  Oh and I did the entire run without an ounce of water which was really stupid but I just forgot to drop waters last night.  Overall a great training run for me!

PM:  2 miles shake out 8:40 pace.  I definitely did not need these extra miles but my legs were SO TIGHT after being stuck in a car most of the day and it felt so so good to shake them out.  Definitely tight and fatigued from the canyon run this morning.  But nothing is injured so that is good. :)
