AM

5:00 wake up. Final day at the Gym at City Creek. 6x800 @15k-10k pace. Warmed up just under 3. This time, I followed the 400 markings on the treadmill visual for "precise" 800s. Went 11.0mph, 11.1, 11.2, 11.2, 11.25, 11.4. 5:27-5:13 pace. All at a 1 incline. During a flat cool down, I did 2x400 @ 5:00 pace and it felt pretty good. 65:45 total

Lunch

I tried out the BST above work going south toward sunnyside and it is quite treacherous. I slid down a few feet backward and caught myself on my hands at one point. So beware. 1.7 miles on the ice and snow and then up emigration and back through matheson park to work. Nice to get in a few non-road miles. Legs felt good. The left glute is not gone but hasn't bothered me in a while. 48:09 or 7:54 avg

Nice work Josh. Couple bonus 400s thrown in there for fun, too!

Thanks. Getting a better feel for 5:20 pace helps me appreciate how amazing you are to keep it up for miles and miles.

Great workout Josh! I was looking for info on the Riverton Half a couple days ago...saw yours from 2012 (1:30) and it made me smile.

I can keep it up for about 4 miles at the moment :-)

Andrea - those were the days. I was convinced I needed to stop at the aid stations to drink and walk up the hills to conserve energy.

It's a great loop course without much traffic. Mostly flat with a few steep shorter hills thrown in for fun. Good organization too. As I recall, Walter won it long before I knew who he was.

Good workout Josh. You are putting the work in to see some great things happen soon.

Thanks Steve. And thanks for changing good to great :)
