Total Distance
14.00

10 miles with repetitions: Workout was 4 x 400, 2 x 1 mile, 4 x 400. 90 second jog after each 1/4 and 3min jog after each mile. Did this on the road. Splits were 68,71,72,70, 4:57, 4:56, 69,69,70,67. Very happy with this one. I liked how it was broken up. Warmed up 2.85 with drills and strides and cooled down about 1.3 miles.

PM: 4 miles easy on the way home from work. Felt great to loosen up after the tough morning session.

Derek, that is very solid! I think you have some PRs going down this racing season!

great workout! I agree with Riley, big PRs coming your way. Where in AZ do you live?

Thanks guys. Trevor: I am in Gilbert, AZ. I went to Weber State and played tennis there. My wife ran there. We moved down here after school.

Haha awesome. My wife and I almost were going to move to Gilbert as we were thinking about attending AT Still. Love that area!
