2014 TENTATIVE RACING SCHEDULE:
TBD

Short-Term Running Goals:

Run 6-days a week and maintain a decent base level of fitness. Upwards of 50-60 per week would be great. Adjust to my new work position, use time wisely, and keep negative stress at bay. Hopefully make a good run at Ogden this spring.

Balance family, work, running, and the other important things in my life.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Enjoy running and continue doing it consistently. Stay healthy and avoid injury as much as possible. Have fun!

Continue chasing PRs while I still can, particularly in the marathon and half marathon. Explore new races, improve training, build friendships, and learn from the wisdom and experience of the numerous great runners here in Utah. Run well into my old age.

 

Personal:

I live in Sandy, UT with my wife (Lindsay) and 2 kids. I love running the roads through my neighborhood and near Little Cottonwood Canyon. I also do a fair amount of treadmill running at the Life Centre Athletic Club. Aside from running, I love road and moutain cycling.

A.M. - 60-minute Scott Keate-inspired treadmill run. Scott borrowed one of my treadmill runs last week, so I thought I'd return the favor : ). I definitely got my money's worth with this one...I've wanted to try this one for a while since Scott told me about it. I finally got the guts this morning to venture out of my comfort zone and attempt it.  Wore the Kinvara's this morning because I knew I'd need a light and zippy shoe to handle the 12.0 mph sections. There's a reason I don't usually spend any time running 5 min/mi. pace...It's not comfortable!.. All flat:

5 minutes @ 9.5 mph
5 mins @ 10.0 mph
1 min @ 12.0 (started realizing this is going to be tough! not sure if I can hang on for the longer sections)
1 min @ 10.0
2 mins @ 12.0 / 2 mins @ 10.0
3 mins @ 12.0 / 3 mins @ 10.0
4 mins @ 12.0 / 4 mins @ 10.0
5 mins @ 12.0 / 5 mins @ 10.0
4 mins @ 12.0 / 4 mins @ 10.0
3 mins @ 12.0 / 3 mins @ 10.0
2 mins @ 12.0 / 2 mins @ 10.0
1 min @ 12.0 / 1 min @ 10.0

Real proud of myself for making it through this one. Pretty cool to think that 25 mins, or 5 miles of it, was spent at 5 min/mi pace. The 12.0 sections are tough, but the 10.0 sections feel so nice (comparatively). Thanks for the butt-whooping Scott.

The total mileage (10.8) and caloric-expenditure (per the TM) of this workout are very similar to the  progressive TM run I regulary try and do (see Wednesday's run).

Love it! You set the bar even higher by keeping your recovery at 10mph for the whole workout :-) You are amazing! Can't wait to see how long I can hang with you in two weeks.

No Scott. It'll most definitely be how long I'll be able to hang with you, if at all.

Justin seems like the one who hangs back and then passing everyone at the end. Are you going with a more aggressive start this time?
