Wanted to do some fast downhill miles to get used to quicker turnover. Thought about maybe doing 6 downhill sub 5:20 at lunch but that didn't work out. I got out late (12:30) and was in a time crunch. In addition to mid 70s weather, there was a 10+ mph headwind down the canyon. I did four (5:32, 5:41, 5:49 (a south turn on Foothill and navigating across the street), 5:45) and called it quits. My miles back up to the office were 8:50 pace so that's abou as good as I was feeling. Calling them marathon pace because they were hard. Not worried about this work out as I am just having fun this week and next (after the Tuesday unfunness).

You looked like you were having loads of fun on Tuesday. That canyon headwind probably negated the downhill. Smart to pull the plug early, I'm sure you were tired from yesterdays brutal run ;>

Good attitude. That's a tough workout to do in the middle of a work day. You got the training effect you were looking for out of what you did.

Thanks guys. I did something similar last year prior to the DesNews half on a Saturday down City Creek and that went well. I think you are right Rob that I wasn't going to succeed on that workout under any conditions today.

Adam - I honestly think even a bit of faster turnover two days in a row is going to sap the pop out of your legs on day 3.
