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. 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 |

A.M. Ran to Fieldhouse and lifted: 2 x 10 squats, 1 x 10 RDL, some Glutehams, and 2 x 10 1-legged hamstring curls. Ran back. Left hamstring is weaker but is catching up some.
P.M. 3.1 miles on the road bike. Just felt like getting out for a bit because it is great for winding down. | Add Comment |

A.M. Biked 14.25 miles easy. I headed up and over Research Park and passed by Chad, who recently completed a very successful venture into triathlon, at the top. We talked about biking a bit and how it is fun to mix things up (although in all likelihood neither would be biking if we hadn't had injury issues). I continued down to City Creek and then through Memory Grove, out to 7th East, and then up 17th South.
I'm really enjoying cycling and plan to continue cycling and running with the intent to be competitive in both. My hamstring is slowly getting better and I hope to start increasing my running volume soon. | Add Comment |

P.M. Ride 20.24 miles. Hard ride up to the top of Little Mountain (Emigration) and back. I broke my record again going from the no parking sign just past the Zoo to the line at the top in 33:45 (7.66 mi, 13.6 mph, 1345 ft ascent, ave HR = 173, peak = 185 during final stretch). I talked with an old guy at the top for a while and then headed down. Half way down I worked in with another descender and we took turns pulling and drafting.
Total time for ride = 1:07:31, average speed = 18 mph, ave HR = 159 | Add Comment |

| A.M. Easy run along the Jordan River with Matthew on his bike. Near the planned turn around point he got a flat (I'd planned to go 8). We hid his bike and helmet in the trees, ran back, and then picked up after the run. Matthew was a pretty exhausted 7-year old at the end of the run. | Add Comment |
