Eating at the dining hall left me feeling kind of queazy, but I was fine during the race.  In fact I was amazed how easy this race was (it was close to my 3k PR of 9:07) and I ran a negative split (4:55,4:52).  Of course I could really close very fast because there I've done no speedwork. Normally I'm good at sitting and kicking but today I might have done better to just whip up the pace.

Kind of a miserable run because there was so much snow I could run on the sidewalk so I was running on the shoulder getting splashed by cars during rush hours.  At least drivers were being nice though.

Ran 3.5 in the morning to school

Did a 10.3 mile threshold run in 59:14, which is about goal marathon pace.  Felt tough to begin with but I settled into a solid groove. Considering that I ran 16 yesterday, it was very good.

Ran 3.5 in the morning and then 9 miles later on.  58:41 for the 9 miler(approx6:30 pace). Felt really good. 85 miles is starting to feel like 65 used to.

Ran up City Creek for 58 mins, came back in 51.  I guess I'm now making it a habit to push this run a little.  I should really start doing marathon pace at the end but seeing how it's uphill at the end, it doesn't quite work that way.

Ran 3.5 in the morning then did a 10.3 mile fartlek in the afternoon.  This is one of my set courses that I run from school if anyone is interested.  I run down to 1300E then go to 2700S then up to 2000E.  I stay on 2000E until 2100S and then go up to 2100E and follow that till it hits foothill.  Then I keep going to I get to Wasatch drive and then go down back through campus to the math department.  There's only a couple of stoplights and it's got a nive variation of grade.

Anyway did 3 five minute pick ups (which is a pretty standard workout for me to do close to a low key race) each one separated by 10 minutes.  There were all a little faster than AT pace meaning around 5:30 pace per mile.

Running around 7 flat pace, maybe a little faster. I alternated feeling bad and could it was kind of weird, I felt pretty sick today, but I'm sure I'll be better tomorrow.

Whew tough day. The splits tell the story

5:24,5:39,5:44,5:47,5:52,6:02,5:58,5:49,5:46 (1:45)

Obviously I went out too fast and that makes quite a difference at altitude, I was chock full of lactic acid at the turnaround.  I started to feel good again towards the end, which often happens in my AT pace runs.

Did a 3.3 miles warmup and then an extended cooldown.

So I wake up and the sun is shining and I think, wow great day for a long run! Genius that I am however I wait until 3pm to start. At about the ten mile point the temperature dropped from about 10 degrees and it started snowing.  I was not dressed appropriately. I considered turning around but when you're at the 10mile point of a 20miler there's not much to do except tough it out.  I averaged 7:20 pace but I really ran in the last mile at about 6:30 because I was anxious to be done.

Course: Jordan River Trail to 53rd South

Ran 3.5 to school in the AM

Instead of doing an AT run I just did a base run (9 miles) I felt pretty good but was slowed down by snow on the shoreline trail to begin with so this is probably about right. I did some core work and plyo drills afterwards.

Ran up city creek to where it was ploughed. I keep doing this run faster which makes me keep reevaluating how far it is.  It's 15-16 miles. Not a big mileage difference but a difference in pace. I felt like I was really moving..

AM 3.5

PM ran to the East High School track but found the track team there (surprise). Their practices last until 5pm by the way. No matter, I ran home and then did the first of what will be many LP (that's Liberty Park) workouts. I did 2*2laps(=3miles) in 17:20 then 17:39, which was decent. I was trying to do goal marathon pace on the woodchips. I feel that running these repeats on soft surface really helps to build strength. (It certainly helps for XC at least!). Hopefully, now that I've got a baseline it will be easier to push myself in the future.

Next week I'm going to do Sugarhouse repeats. Nobody should get this excited about workouts!

I also did 5 miles of warmup slash cooldown.
