Fartlek in Provo Canyon after a long day on my feet in the clinic.
9m@6:16. Splits: 7:01, 6:54, 6:45 (all up), 5:09, 5:22 (down), 6:57 (up/down), 4:58 (down), .5m-3:32 (up), .5m- 2:24 (down), 7:11 (up)
Legs certainly don't feel fresh yet, but they should be good to go by Saturday! The goal/plan is 5:10 pace and a PR. PR is from Des News last summer (1:07:58) which was pretty much off 40mpw. My training lately has been much better, albeit inconsistent due to sinus infection, hip flexor strain and a calf strain. This course isn't as fast as Des News but I think/hope I'm ready to run just a couple seconds faster on this course Saturday.
