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.

A.M. Climbed Long's Peak in Colorado via the Keyhole route, elevation 14,255.
This was an awesome hike/climb with 5,000 ft of elevation gain. The first 5 miles are easy Class I, between 5 and 6 it starts to become class II and probably continues as class II through 6.5 after going through the keyhole. The last 1 mile or so is a much steeper class III scramble with some good exposure...
more later. | | Add Comment |

A.M. Jogged to the Fieldhouse, did a set of squats and hamstring curls with light weight, jogged back.
Left hamstring hurt a little during the run out and felt better on the way back. Right hip and TFL-IT are tight, likely because of compensation. On a good day right now I can get down to 8 min/mi without problems. Fitness is still there because of the biking and hiking. I'm hopeful the weight work will speed up my recovery. | | Comments(3) |

A.M. 37.2 miles on the bike.
I rode hard up Emigration Canyon (from the sign at the Zoo to the top in 34:17 = 13.4 mph @ HR 170 ave--a PR by ~ 7 minutes). I rode down easy and out to 62nd South along Wasatch Dr. at a steady effort and into a nasty head wind. The I turned around and drilled it back. With the help of a tailwind I was flying, holding above 30 mph on the flat parts and skipping over 35 on some slight downhills. Overall 37.2 miles in 2:17:02, 16.3 mph @ HR 148--includes slowing down for stop lights, etc. I might race the Sanpete Classic on Saturday--67 miles.
I'll eventually catch up on my blog. | | Add Comment |

| A.M. 4.03 miles followed by 2 x 10 squats and 2 x 10 Romanian dead lifts. Final mile = ~ 8:09 at HR 150. I've lost running fitness but the biking has kept the drop off from getting too bad. Hamstring is getting better but not whole yet. | | Add Comment |

A.M. 21st East loop.
Last mile (down a slight grade) just under 8 min pace @ HR 148. Cardiovascular base still present. Hamstring still messed up. With the bike race done I can focus on rehab more (I don't feel it at all on the bike). | | Add Comment |
