Bring 5K back under 18 minutes.
Current training phase: Base building and weight loss (getting slower to get faster). Long-Term Running Goals: Have fun with my training and races. Maintain athleticism and physical versatility through old age. I'll probably run many marathons, but I won't do pure marathon training year-round because I am probably more interesting in maintaining overall athletic versatility. Personal: My approach to training is feeling and effort based. Particular workouts should feel a certain way and I try to apply the right amount of effort to match that feeling. On the other hand, I'm pretty analytical by nature so I like to analyze and record my workouts in thorough detail. I think optimal training is a balance between the intuitive and analytical.

Base run along the river trail. Near my planned turn-around point I ran into Adam, who was on his way back and pushing his daugher in a stroller, and turned around and ran back with him. I enjoyed the conversation, which included the use of eccentric strength exercises to rehab injuries and the relative hop rates of mice and elephants. Good stuff for running nerd scientists.
The run felt good, I was light on my feet with a quick cadence, which I have been focusing on. 8:40s on the way out, 8:20s on the way back.

| A.M. Easy 5 mile run. I'm still a little tired from Sunday's ride, which as is now becoming more apparent, I put a lot of effort into. I felt good on the run today, but HR was elevated. | Add Comment |

I Biked up to the top Big Cottonwood Canyon (Brighton) and down. This was a very strenuous ride, climbing from 4900-8800 ft over 14.5 miles. After a very slight warm-up, I held an average HR of ~170 all the way to the top (1:37:44). The way down was awesome (26 minutes). I cracked 50 mph a few times and rode long stretches over 40 mph. The road quality is great so I felt comfortable and in control at these speeds. | Add Comment |
