Up to the Olympic Oval today in light of the storm.  A grinding workout of 2x3 miles with one mile easy in between.  Splits were between 5:18 and 5:22/mile roughly.  Taken at the 100 meter mark and the finishing numbers.  Not precise, but close enough for my purposes.  Heart rate seems to have gone down since last time or either I'm better hydrated.  Either way it started kind of slow but ended fairly fast and comfortable at the end.     Darkhorse out...

 On a side note,  Sasha has managed to get the team in at SLC Marathon and so my day just became a little brighter now.  Thanks Sasha,     Dark Horse out...

Easy 6 miles today out and back on 7th east. 65-70% mhr. Feeling a little wrung out today, mainly because some days I feel like my job is a whole other workout at times. It has to be accounted for unfortunately. And that is why there are no hundred mile weeks with regular double workouts this year. However, it has been a positive thing in the sense that perhaps it has strengthened my core and back really well. I seem to be holding my form better on the ups and downs during longer runs. So overall the higher, slower mileage may not be necessary this year afterall. Darkhorse out..

Day off from running.  Very busy with work and family, things just did not seem to connect today for some reason.  I just tell myself to relax, it's just a hobby and not my living.   Darkhorse out..

Progessive run with 1 mile easy between efforts.  Quick warmup and then 4 miles at 80-85 % mhr, 3 miles at 85-90% mhr.  One mile at 85%-90% mhr and then the last two at 95-98% mhr. Last mile at 5/min/mile pace. Thought I was going to fall off and pass out at the end!!  Indoor track for MP miles and then treadmill  at 1% incline for the last two efforts.   I like this workout because it makes the body and mind tough for the last stages of a race.  Not to mention also that it is a big fitness booster, although it does take a few days to really recover from it..         Darkhorse out..

Easy 12 miler along the parkway trail. No time taken. Somewhere around 7/min miles judging by pace and feel. I have an interesting thought come to mind as I pass a woodchip trail. Would this be the key to maximum muscle recovery in the weeks leading up to a race? I think I might run the rest of my taper this way to test this idea. Darkhorse out...
