90 minute long run with 2x(1-1-2) pickups with 5 min recovery

6:54 avg pace

Felt really good today. Ran down into Hell hole and out the backway and then ran back to Sullivan and Hell Hole and ran up out of it. Had to extend out a bunch and then make a million turns on the way back because we made it to the school in time for lvl 2's at 75 minutes and we still had 15 more. Picked up the pace a bunch the last few miles. Had about 6:30 left and me and Julien were the last ones still going, and I asked him if he wanted to shoot for 13 miles. We picked it up and he had to take a shortccut to catch up to me, but I ended up running a 6:01 last mile and then just jogged straight in to finish my time. It's good to know that I can push a hard last mile after 12 of them and be cofident that I can. Stretched suuuuper good because I don't wanna get hurt. Overall a great first super long run

60 min hill workout.

20 warm. 5x1 min hills + 1x85 sec with jog down recovery and an extra minute after 3rd rep. cool to time

7:27 avg pace

Fun workout with the guys. Worked on pushing through and keeping the pace up the second half. I feel like it was a sucessful workout for mostly everyone and there was a good pack of us all together. Back started tensing up again towards the end. Hopefully I can figure this crud out

about 70-75 minutes

negative split

MY WATCH DIED AND I LOST MY CHARGERRRRRRRRRRRR. So that sucks. Ran with Colton and Mikey up the hill into middleton and then back down for a negative split run. Smart thinking from Colton. Just used his milage and then ran around the mall and guessed on how much further than him I went. Pretty chill run for me, Mikey and Colt seemed dead tho. Did some nice stretching today and did some productive stuff like cleaned out my truck and my room. Good day.

 

p.s. found my watch charger! Gooder day.
