​Fartleks 1-2-1-2-1 with 3 minutes recovery between.

I'm not sure how or why he thought of this, but Colton said we should run the last 10 miles of the Marathon course. So that's what we did. Met at Vernon Worthen then drove up 10 miles and ran back down the hill. Not too steep so it didn't jack up my back or knee or anything so that's good. Went and got some *healthy* Crepes after.

​Been working on form lately and getting my Cadence up. Just driving more and snapping the foot back quicker. Ran to Coach's house and helped him lift a hecka heavy boulder looking boulder. Hurt my back while lifting but I was blessed as it did not hurt the rest of the run or at all today so that's super bueno.

25 morning + 65 afternoon workout

​3x1000 at CV pace with 5 minute recovery between, followed by 4x400 at 1600 pace and 4x200 at 800 pace with 2 minute recovery between.

​HARD WORKOUT ATH. Finally haha. Managed to hit all of my times. Got 1:09-08-07-06 on the 400s, and 31-30-29-29 on the 200s so thats super good. Felt good to finally go hard and it was hard to get myself to go on a cooldown.

​4/20. Ran up to highland and dropped off papers for the So Utah half. Ran up a pile of woodchips and tripped and scraped my leg in honor of 4/20. Worth it.

​Nice chillin at the track meet. Don't race until tomorrow. The guys didn't do too hot in the 1600, so hopefully they bounce back tomorrow.

Also ran the 800 and only ran a 2:09. Started out 61 and my legs were dead and I sucked it up lol

The 3200 was epic. I started out a little bit further back than I shoul've, but I still got a solid 1 second PR. Xander told me to just go run my race and not worry about him qualifying, because if we try to run the exact pace it will be risky. He finished with a solid 9:45, PRing by 14 seconds from just last week! What a baller. I felt pretty good and my form looked way better than ever, so that's a plus. Next up is Orem and my plan is to stay connected to the front pack as much as possible.
