Redemption

My Coach wants me to start tracking my workouts, I guess even though it's my senior year I still need to track my workouts so I can look back after my mission and kind of get an idea of what worked for me and what I was able to do now. Until today I've been doing mainly active rest lots of Cross Training and strength training. With not lots of running (5 miles a day about). I want to be in my best shape by mid november so I can go to nike nationals. Strength Training has been brutal though. weight sessions 4 times a week (2 upper body days, and 2 lower body days) and the other two days I swim and do deep water running. Along with core everyday. Starting today we start the running training.

8 mile Tempo run @ 6:05 ave

.5 mile warmup/cooldown

Strength Training: Upper Body

5 miles @ 6:30 pace w/ 1 mile warmup and cooldown.

Strength Training: Swimming/deep water running

7 miles w/ 10*50m hill sprints

Strength Training: Upper Body

8 miles easy

Strength Training: Swim/ deep water running

This morning I ran the Uncle Sam 5k I took it more as a Tempo Run, but I'll admit I am way too competitive to just tempo run a race, however I am not in very good "racing shape" I ran it in 16:42 :/ and took third to some BYU runner and I think it was Adam Haynes from Bingham. I'm not too worried though considering I just finished active rest for over a month. Easy cooldown/ warmup mileage

Strength Training: Lower Body

I really impressed myself with this workout, because at the 4th rep I didn't think I could finish so I just ran the rest of them like it was my last and ended up finishing. It hurt bad! I threw up like halfway through (I know I'm kind of out of shape), but my Dad was there and he is a sports psychologist so there was no way I was giving up.

The workout was 8*800m @ 2:27 w/200m jog for rest.
