My coach wants me to start keeping track of my workouts again...and since this is the best way I can do it...I guess I'm back using it now :) I've been working with a personal coach from up north, Sean Maye. (goldmedalathletics.com)

Really the one big change I've made this winter, that should prepare me well for track is the difference in pace. Kind of the motto this winter is "no more 7's". I've always just gotten stuck running slow over any distance covering more than 3 miles. No matter how far it is, if I was on the road (and not on the track/grass doing repeats) then I would be hitting 7-7:30 miles. So my coach and I have really made a change to not just go out and jog miles, but really start to push the tempo/mid/long runs as well.

Workout: 8 mile Tempo w/hills @5:55 mile average.

The workout was supposed to be at 6:20 pace tempo, which I thought that would even kill me considering their would be hills. I ran over 600? (the road behind walmart that has devils throne hill) I started out the first mile being flat was 6:11 (I felt pretty good) then I ran a 6:27 as I ran up the hill by the elementary school I slowed a bit. I started feeling SUPER good after that and I ran my next mile in 5:46, then I don't know why exactly but every single mile I just kept feeling better! My 4th was a 6:02 (up and down devils throne hill, I went down the big side and up the easier so it wasn't to bad). After that, there weren't really any other hills and it leveled out. My 5th  was a 5:36, my 6th was 5:52., 7th 5:46, 8th 5:45.

1 mile warmup/2 mile cooldown

Strength Training: Hamstrings, Chest, Biceps, core.

Didn't have much time to run today, I went up north and eat dinner then tried to fit in a run...it didn't work out very well. So I ended up just doing stringth training and some light plyos. I should have ran in the morning, I just thought I would have time after school to fit in my workout :/

I met up with my coach at the BYU indoor track, and warmed up for 2 miles.

Workout: 15*200m @ :36, except #11,12,and 15 @ :33. w/ 126m jog for rest (the track is 326m long). w/300m TT.

The workout went great, except something about the indoor track is just slow. Because it really shouldn't be that difficult to hit 36's but it hurt quite a bit. But Sean did make a point that the rest was shorter than usual so maybe  that was it. After the 200's he had me jog two laps, then I ran a :42 300m. So I was pretty happy with that. Cooled down with 2.5 miles, then I met Travis Fuller (4:02 indoor miler) and Ryan Waite (1:46 800m runner) and did a core workout with them. That was pretty awesome.

This week is just a recovery week, Sean wants me just less mileage and a bit easier for the break. Then next week when I'm in California he will have me pound out some tough sea-level workouts :)

4 miles @ 6:00 mile pace. I had to try out my new shoes (Adidas Crazy Fast.) The name of the shoe fits. I put them on and started flying!

4 miles easy.

Plyo day! I took the covers of the long jump pit and got a few guys together and using a plyo box and the sand pit got in a hard core workout. Luke told me he couldn't walk the next day :) Haha, that's probably not a great thing, but at least I know we pushed ourselves.

Again. I did not do so well with my training this past week. I woke up early and went to Knottsbury farm ( I should have woken up earlier and ran :( ) Afterwards with little time, considering it was past midnight. I did a plyometrics workout in the hotel. Which actually killed my legs (in the good way)

Not very happy with my "supposable" dedication to training every day today. We woke up at six and went to Disney Land (where my brother proposed to his girlfriend so congrats to him! :) )I should have woke up at 5 and at least got a few miles in, so I need to remember to be a little more aggressive in making sure I get my workout in, regardless of the daily scenario. Ha, but of course I woke up late and convinced myself I could fit in a run after Disney Land...didn't happen. We spent from 7am-1am there. 18 hours!!!!!! So I guess I walked like 20 miles, ha! But I don't think that counts as any workout. :(
