Saturday A10 Championship

Race
12 miles total
7 in Boost6

Didn't go how I wanted it to go. Felt a little sluggish on the tempo but tried to get myself warmed up on the strides. Getting out didn't feel good like it did at North Carolina. Was top 30 the whole race and ended up 16th overall and 2nd for the team behind Logan who got 3rd. Brent was 18th and Trent was 22nd. Paul 36th, Adam 46th, Andrew 60th, Sharkey 61st, Dustin 63rd, Jonny 85th. I ran 25:11. 4th mile hurt pretty bad. Our team got 4th behind Dayton 1st, Duquesne 2nd, and St. Louis 3rd. Dayton came out of nowhere to win it and not only win but completely destroy it. Unfortunate day for us, some of us didn't have the days we needed including me. Gotta get past it and focus on regionals now

Wednesday

Workout
11 miles total
7.5 miles in Boost6

Ran the first part in Providence. Did the same old 1 lap, 2 laps, 3 laps, 2 laps, 1 lap thing. Average splits were a little bit slower this time though. Then we went over to the track and did 2x800 at 5 minute pace and faster pace. Then we did an alone 400 and then some strides. for the 800s I hit 2:28 and 2:24. for the 400 I hit 60 but definitely felt slower then that. Cool down was only 5 minutes which really messed up my mileage.

Saturday

Training Run

Friday

Primary Workout
11 miles total
6 miles in Boost6

Workout was 2x3k on the track. Had to do the first 1k on the first one at a faster pace to simulate getting out hard, then slow down to 5 minute pace. For the second one we started out slower at 5 minute pace and then the last k we ran harder. Was in the group with Luke, Logan, Flynn, Brent, Adam, and Andrew (only on the second one). They kicked a little bit too hard for me on the second one and I dropped just a tad. Legs finally started feeling good again and now they are going to be a little tired again.
