We had a good crew today. I met Matt, Scott, Brandon, Reed, Jodi, Chris and Steve at the soccer fields in Orem. 8 miles up to a little past Vivian park. (7:09AP). The plan was to do some tempo on the way down. Matt and I had talked about 5, I thought I'd just play it by ear but I wanted to get some good half marathon pace work in. I felt good from the start and just went by feel. Splits: 5:23, 5:21, 5:06, 5:05, 5:12 I went into this with basically fresh legs. A light 3 mile tempo run on Tuesday and easy miles since. General Poulsen threw the hammer down on mile 5 and blew past me. He's coming back with a vengeance. Scott, on his 3rd speed work out of the week was right there. Reed and Brandon hit some fast times as well. Big fun. Afterward I did some barefoot grass laps (1.3m) with Scott with 3x200m bursts. |
