Garek B Running

BYU today! Got there and did around 3 miles warmup then strides and drills. Called us in early so we were sitting around a bit. Got out okay and worked with the AF guys for the first mile and came through at 4:32. Last mile was just exhausting for me. Even at the end I didnt really have much of a kic. I PRed by 7 seconds but I went into the race with higher expectations so I was a little disappointed. Ran 6.5 with Bill and Sarah and sat in the Provo river for a bit which was fun. Another 1.5 later and more sitting in the Provo River.  

Two miles in the morning before driving down to BYU. 2.5 miles warmup with strides. Didnt sit as long in the Bullpen this time. Race went really well, got out strong and held the lead the first 2 laps. Then Connor came up on me and took control the 3rd lap. Last lap Connor, Josh Colloins, Mackay Johns, and I were all working super hard and I got boxed in the last 200 so I wasnt able to kick as strong as I could have but Im still really happy with the race. 2.5 miles cooldown. 

4 miles later

Got the school record!!!

Ran up towards Emigration then out towards Parleys. Back along Foothill and added to 10.

3 miles in the morning.

Afternnon jogged up to the U of U track for speed. Once there we did 1 mile of speed changes and switched shoes. Jogged 1 lap then did 2 sets and each set consisted of a 1000 then 400, 200, 400, 200. Jogged 2 laps after each thousand and 1 lap after each 200. 30 seconds standing recovery between the 400 and the 200. Times were 2:49 and 2:52 for the 1000. Then 60,61,61,60 and 29,30,30,29. Did 1 mile of J's after and jogged back to the school.

3 in then morning. 

Afternoon ran down to Liberty and did 1 lap of firemen then ran back to the school. 

2 in the morning.

Drove out to Woods Cross for Region. Got there and it was raining pretty hard but still got 3 miles warmup up. Did some strides and drills and raced the mile. Won in 4:17 I was happy because I still ran a decent time even though I was working mainly by myself. Ran 5 miles cool down.

2 miles in the morning.

The weather was a lot better when we got there. Warmed up 4 miles and got ready for the 2 mile. Won in a 9:31 which was good because I was working by myself. Jogged another mile and started getting ready for the 800 but there was lightening so we had a 30 minute delay. Afterwards warmed up another mile or so and raced the 800. Didnt have the best start and was boxed into 4th place. But at the beginning of the 2nd lap Andrew Rummens from Woods Cross almost tripped on a Bountiful which gave me enough room to move into 2nd right behind first. With 250 to go I started my kick and we battled all the way to the end but I managed to move ahead on the last 100. Jogged some more and then raced the 4x400 we took last but I handed off in 2nd place so I was happy that after a 2 mile and an 800 I was still able to kick a fast 400. 

Ran out 4 on Shriners then turned around. Rained but wasn't that bad!

Happy Birthday Sarah!

3 miles with Eleanor. Than another 5 later along Wastach.

Went out along Wasatch until Parleys. Then turned around and ran along Foothill. Turned down 13th to 15th and then back up ninth. Stopped at Sunnyside for a drink and finished to 10.

3 miles in the morning.

Drove to Granite for speed. Warmed up 2 miles and then 1 mile of speed changes. Did 1x1000 at 2:49 then 800 recovery. Then 300, 500, 400 in 43, 80, and 62. Purpose was to really focus on kicking the last 100 of each repeat. 2 minutes standing between each repeat, jogged 1200m then did another 300, 500, 400 in 45, 79, and 62. Jogged another 1200 and was expecting another set of the same 300, 500, 400 but instead changed to 6x200 with 200 meters recovery between each. Went 28, 29, 29, 28, 29, and 26. Really good workout, super happy with all my times. Added 2.5 cool down to get to 12.

Ran by myself. 3 in the morning and 10 in the afternoon

In the afternoon we jogged up to the trail and measured out 300 meters and 200 meters. Did a mile or so of speed changes and then 3x300 with 300 recovery. I went 44, 43, and 42. Then 3x200 with 200 recovery. 27, 26, and 25. Jogged back to the school and added to 11.

Ran 3 in the morning. 

Afternoon ran to Sunnyside and did 10 barefoot strides then finished the lap and ran back to East.

2 miles in the morning before we left. 

Got there and didnt get enough warmup only 1 mile. Race started and my legs still felt tight. I was super happy with my race but I thought that it was decent. 1 mile cool down.

2 miles before heading down to BYU.

3 miles warmup with drills.

I was really happy with the 2 mile just because I hadn't run a super great time in that event all year. Started out strong but lost contact with Josh and Connor which was a mistake, however I battled with Alek from Ogden and Will from Timp. Last lap Will and I really started to fight and he managed to beat me in the last 100 but I was still happy. Cooled down 4 miles with Connor Baller then went and ate. 3 miles warmup for the 800 which went well I PRed in 1:56 but I should have been faster there were 3 times were I moved to the inside of lane one only to move back out after a few seconds which is a waste of a stride. Still super happy with the State Meet!
