BROKEN ARROW

Training Log

Seems fitting to keep a training log going for Broken Arrow, which was going to be the capstone to a busy Spring of racing, and now has become the sole [A] race left on the schedule!

I've been getting in consistent mileage and decent workouts for a about a month now, but just starting to feel like fitness is coming back.

4/15-4/21 Taper workout, first workout that felt okay in about 2 months, couple more easy runs and a few days off and finished with Robie Creek in about 2 minutes slower than last year, but actually felt like I pushed a lot less, confidence booster.

4/22-28 Mostly easy recovery miles around town. Friday hard uphill at Cervidae Peak with the Billies, quads still feeling the Robie sting.

4/29-5/5 Mileage coming back up, finally! And first time back on the track for Tuesday team workout. 16x400 on 2 minute intervals, avg. 71/72, real hard by the end with the 45 sec recoveries. Followed up by a nice 20 min tempo on Friday, working the heart-rate up throughout. Ended the week at MOAB! Finally able to run with Sumner again and explore new places; so needed and so refreshing and epic.

5/6-5/12 Rest day after Moab adventures and driving home. Than another fun Billies workout on Tuesday, teams of 2 hitting 4 miles together relay style. Ran with Thomas in 4-8-12-4-4. We didn't win, but we did run longer intervals than anyone else. Another slow feeling tempo on Friday in the Eagle Bike Park, ah well. Long run with Sumner on Sat!! <3

5/13-19 Boise Greenbelt long intervals on Tuesday 12-8-4-8-4 minutes from half to 5k effort. Working on keeping the mileage up and vert up up.
