Ran with the team today. We started heading over to Lambert but then when we got to high bench everyone was being freaking lame and just wanted to run on the roads. So we headed down on the roads and eventually I was able to convince Craik, Zack, and Will to come run Redford run and part of mountain run with me. Did 4x100 strides when I got back.

Got to Colorado and went out to do my workout at 10:00 at night. I had eaten a massive burger about an hour and a half earlier, and that paired with driving all day made it unbelievably rough to go faster than 7:45 pace. About a mile into my warmup I started barfing and at that point I decided to postpone the workout until tomorrow. Finished up a few miles slowly and painfully, then went to bed.

Got up and did my workout in the morning before it gets too hot. Did about two miles of warmup along the river over to the nearest high school so I could use their track. The track was cool because the bleachers were on the inside on the backstretch, and it was nice and soft.  Workout was 4x1 mile with about 2:30 recovery, which ended up just being a lap jog. First three were 5:08, 5:08, 5:07, then for my last one I hopped back on the river trail and did a 4:59. Felt very good, and never had to really go to the well which is always a good feeling. Afterwards did 3 miles cooldown on the river trail.

very cool run in Glenwood Springs. I went out hoping to summit red mountain, but I ended up losing the trail and just following this dirt road that wound all the way up and around. Gained about 2000 feet elevation and got some great views from the top. Very fun run.

Drove to Vail today and did my run right before dinner. I was supposed to do a workout but I tried to hit the paces and it just got way too steep to quick cuz I was just running on trails on Vail ski resort. I kept the pace honest throughout tho and on he downhill really went fast. Started my run at 8000 feet elevation, and hit about 9500 at the highest part so I'm getting in some very solid altitude training.

long run today. I started with my dad biking with me and we headed down this one trail for 15 minutes then turned around and ran back up when it ended. At this point my dad went back and I headed thru vail village, then out past the golf course. I swear there is not a flat stretch longer than 200 meters in Vail, and that mixed with the 8000 feet elevation made for a very solid run. Ended up averaging 6:32's overall.

Mentally and emotionally today was one of the hardest days of my life, so when it got to about 6 o' clock I really wasn't feeling like running, but I forced myself out the door and I'm glad I did. Ran about a mile and a half to this big lake and did two laps around it before heading back. I felt like I was finally able to think clearly and it was nice. Averaged 6:35 pace throughout, then did 4x100 strides back at the hotel.

Went up and did my run with the team at camp, then did my tempo by myself. There was a storm that rolled in and some gnarly hills so the tempo miles were a bit slower than I wanted but it was still a very hard effort.

3x(100, 150, 200) hills on the hill right by house. I really liked this workout, it wasn't very hard mentally but by the end my legs were definitely burning. good stuff. Did it late at night so my friend Sam was sneaking out and saw me doing them and hopped in and did one with me haha.

Went and ran the Alpine Days 5k with the team today. Didn't want to go too hard so the gun went off and I just kind of hung back with Cole Gray for the first 1200 or so. Just kept it easy and conversational, then saw Marc wasa bit ahead so I surged up to him and hit the mile in 5:37. Ran with him for the next 1200 then surged up to Trevor and hit mile 2 in 5:37 as well. Went up the steep hill in the cemetery and saw that Josh and Craik and kaleb weren't too far ahead and debated on going after them but decided it would take a little more effort than I wanted to exert so I just cruised until I hit 400 to go and decided to kick hard. Mile 3 was 5:25, then my last .1 was 24 seconds. Overall just a very fun time, and I never really went hard so I was truly able to just enjoy it. Afterwards finished up my miles.

Easy 30 minute run this morning up to the mouth of the canyon and back to my house on canyon road. Last week was a little bit of a down week so I'm going to make sure I do every little thing right this week.

Met up with Tyler at PG for my run. We went 7 miles at 6:48 pace. I was supposed to do an hour but I cut it like 10 minutes short cuz my stomache was absolutely killing me. Very fun run tho, big thanks to Tyler for coming with me.

Real tough workout today. Had work in the morning so I put it off until about 8 but it ended up being good that way cuz it was a little cooler. So the workout was 6x1000, then 3x800. I've never done this amount of volume in an interval workout so I was a bit nervous but I just went out and decided that I wasn't gonna fall off pace and that I was just gonna kill this workout. Times were 3:06, 3:07, 3:05, 3:06, 3:07, 3:06 for the 1000's and 2:27, 2:27, 2:24 for the 8's. So  so happy with how this workout turned out. It was very long but I just kind of got in the zone and kept knocking out 74's and 75's without ever feeling like I was gonna blow up. Big confidence booster for the upcoming season.

Ugh rough day today. Had a progression run for my workout and I headed out at the hottest part of the day. I made it through the first half on Bonneville but then I just bonked. I think I was dehydrated and the heat was so much and I just couldn't go on. I laid down for a while at the pavillion on the canal where it crosses under canyon road, then when I felt like I could move again I ran 2.5 very slow miles back to my house. Bummer of a run but I know its not a fitness problem, rather just a fluke hopefully.

Had work from early in the morning til the afternoon then was in Park City til late so I never got a chance to run. I hate that but I promise myself that this will be the last day of missed training until the end of XC season.

Solid long run today. I went from my house up to mountain run, then did extended mountain run and kept going all the way until I got to the water spigot thing at the top part of lambert. Lots of solid hills. At that point I took grove all the way down to Legacy and ran back on Alpine highway at a pretty quick pace, then did 1.2 barefoot miles at the orchard to finish my run. Going in I wanted to make this run really solid since I missed yesterday and I definitely did that.

3.1 easy in the morning.

Later met up with the team to run. They were doing 800's and 1000's on the grass field by the seminary building, so I just ran barefoot around and would hop in with the slower guys on some of them. Ended up running pretty fast and averaged 6:00's for the 5 miles on the grass. Was fun being back out on the field in the heat again haha.

Solid workout by myself at sundown, I'm not allowed to give the specifics on workouts anymore but it involved mile repeats and some 800's. Felt pretty dang solid and I ran really well.

Tempo this morning, averaged about 5:08-5:10 pace throughout. Felt really controlled and just chilled with Luca the whole time.

Later did 4.5 recovery just out on the road. The pace was a little slower which felt way nice.

Solid last run out at camp. Ran out on this dirt road for 30 minutes at a gradual uphill then cruised back. Ended up splitting off with Luca, Joe, and Dallin for most of the run. When we got back we had a couple minutes left so Joe and I did some loops around camp, then went and did 6 strides on the road.

Easy run from my apartment this morning. Ran into Luca, Dallin, Tracen, and Tyson finishing their run so I hopped in with them for like 5 minutes. Ran up and did some trails that I ran on when I came for my visit.
