<br />
*1 race, 1 long run, 1 easy, 1 workout, 2 doubles*<br />
<br />
Monday: regular tr; 10 miles<br />
<br />
Workout: regular pre race workout: did some 1000s going from 3:10, 3:07, 3:07, 3:04; then a fast 1000 at 2:48; then some strides; right leg was feeling unattached so the fast 1000 was helpful<br />
<br />
Wednesday: double and tr felt not too good; total 12<br />
<br />
Thursday: pre meet day doubles and tr with strides; did 14 total; felt much better today but right leg still feeling kinda weird; left for Duke today after practice<br />
<br />
Race: Duke Invitational on Friday and Saturday; I raced the 5k on Friday night; got into the fast heat solely by coach's request but earned my spot; got 4th with a 14:43; raced well but my time wasn't where I hoped it would be; but I beat some guys that run 14:20s or faster so that was a positive; back was pretty tight in the middle and had a few slower laps because of it; good run though, got the IC4A qualifier<br />
<br />
Long Run: 16ish Saturday morning before heading over to the meet; Ran with Cory and Ethan; The run wasn't too bad but I was certainly tired from the night before; back was tight at the beginning but warmed up; got really tight towards the end on some of the small downhills; was a good run; ran on the American Tobacco Trail which was extremely shaded which was great because it was already 80 at 11 o'clock; back was so tight afterwards that it was hard to walk; tried STEM when I got to the track but didn't help for very long; got Tim to massage it which helped more<br />
<br />
Easy day: at school on sunday; back super tight still so I cut the run from 4 to 3 miles<br />

Ran with the boys on the morning. Felt pretty crappy still. Coach wanted something like a medium long run. After the other guys finished their run my legs fell apart hard.

Sad boi run. Legs were very angry with me. Typical day after 10k type of run. Got to pet a very cute pitbull which helped for about 5 minutes but then I went back to feeling like crap.

13 miles total<br />
7 miles in Boost8<br />
<br />
Ran the 10k at 9:20pm at NC State in Raleigh, NC. Was in heat 2 which ended up being good because first place in the first heat ran 28:20s. Would have gotten wrecked in that heat, but wouldn't have gotten last. My heat was steady and most everyone was trying to run around the same time, sub 30. Went through the 5k in 15:03 and started counting laps and doing calculations after that. had to go 4:40 on last mile to get sub 30 but couldn't quite get it. Finished in 30:05. First 5k was a lot of 72s, second was a lot of 71s but then hit several 73s towards end of 3rd quarter and beginning of fourth quarter. Kept picking people off that fell from the chase pack, but it wasn't enough to keep the 71s going. Got 6th in my heat and 31st overall. Successful first 10k this season, starting off with a 24 second PR, but gotta take off at least 15 more seconds if I want to be considered for Regionals. Coach was pleased since his goal for me was 30 flat.<br />

Workout was 2 sets of 6 lane 8's, then a k at race pace, and then some free form strides. I went 74 average for lane 8's and ended up accidentally doing an extra one cause I miss counted on the second set. K was a little fast, hit 2:55 but felt fine. For strides I did a 300 and 2x200 in Takumi's and then 2x150 in Avanti to see if I wanted to do the 10k in them. Decided to just go with Takumi's.

Ran at 1 pm with Logan, Trent, Ethan, and Jonny. Met up with Drew Hunter and this guy named Will that runs for Adams State. Met them out in Loudon somewhere, near Oatlands by this little town called Adley. Basically ran down a gravel road with some big rolling hills. Was a beautiful run, great change of scenery and also felt like I got a lot out of it. Rough but not terrible. Had to add on a lot since everyone else has low mileage compared to me.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02145764303104063715noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111677688788699682.post-42848656809275141702017-03-20T08:42:00.001-07:002017-03-20T08:42:22.851-07:00Saturday - Tribe OpenRace<br />

Race was the 3k at 3:20, one of the last events. Tribe Open was a very small meet once again this year. The 3k was basically either W&M, Mason, or Richmond. Normal length warmup, felt like crap. Race I surprisingly felt much better. Got fourth place with an 8:31. So only a few seconds off of my PR, and didn't even have a close. Pretty much ran the same pace the whole race but moved up and picked people off little by little. Good sign for Raleigh Relays next week.

Back at school today. Had a rough workout today too, haven't been feeling good since I got sick. Today was supposed to be 3 sets of 3x1k. Ended up doing two sets, first was 5xk and second was 4xk. Goal pace was 3 flat. Slowest was 3 flat and fastest was 2:58. Averaged about 2:59. Good sign that I can feel like crap and still run that, but really felt like crap. No speed today because we are treating Tribe Open as speed work. Running the 3k at tribe.

Ran the workout with the LD kids for one rep kinda. Did a normal warm-up. Workout was 10 sets of 3 minutes on and 2 minutes off. Did the first rep with the kids cause they were also doing a fartlek. But theirs was way too short for me so I ended up doing mine on the k loop that goes around the school. Was raining/icing the whole workout which was pelting my face. My legs were not at all ready for this workout and were very sad to be running. Took until about number 6 for them to feel warmed up, but then they just started getting tired. Was supposed to do strides afterwards but my legs were hurting so bad and it was so wet that I figured it wasn't worth it. Did a 2.5 mile cool down.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02145764303104063715noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111677688788699682.post-91785882625030366532017-03-20T08:18:00.002-07:002017-03-20T08:18:44.865-07:00Totals*3 workouts, 1 double, 1 easy, 2 off from sickness*<br />
