Garek B Running

15 with Bill on railtrail. Wind was bad at the start and battled it a little going down the canyon but nothing bad. Little muddy, average pace 7:14. Core when I got home!

3 miles in the morning around the Zoo.

Afternoon we did team warmup but because of the wind we went out to the Oval for speed. Did 2 miles warmup and 1 mile speed change changed shoes and jogged a lap. Workout was 3 sets of 4x400. 250 meters recovery in between each repeat and 2 laps in between each set. The goal was to have my 400 times add up to a 4:10 mile. Went 63,61,62,61(4:07) for the first set. 62,62,62,61 (4:07) for the second. Last set 61,63 and then Bill told us instead of 2 more 400s we had 1 more 800 so I needed to run a 2:06 to hit my goal pace. I worked really hard but the last 200 meters I felt "the bear" jump on my back and it took all I had to push to the end. Final time was 2:08 so 4:12 mile for the last set. But I was still really happy with the workout. Cooled down until we hit 12 for the afternoon. Core and icebath when I got home.

3 in the morning.

Afternoon we had the Timpangos Relay Meet and ran the 400 in the DMR, the 800 in the medley, and the 400 in the 4x400.

3 when I got home to finish up miles.

3 in the morning.

Afternoon we did the adventure run to Shriners and then back. Good run but legs felt tired. Core when I got home.

3 miles in the morning.

East 6 this afternoon along 13th.

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!!!
