afternoon- did the kosmin test for our first workout of the year. my legs felt like garbage, but i improved from last year. i wasn't as close to josh as i would have liked to be, but that'll change. also i almost caught some of the 800 guys on the second one, so that was kinda cool. i made it about 1500m. we also did 4x300m progression finishes with pushups in between, it felt hard to sprint on these because my legs were so dead, but i finished off strong. weights after.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 8 easy out at navajo for wilderness wednesday. the pace felt too easy and i wanted to run ahead a little but i didn't want to be that guy so i just ran with the group. i should get rid of that mentality though, because dropping the pace on the easy runs a little bit is beneficial.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 2.5, drills, 8x200m hill repeats with recovery jog back to start, a bit of a cool down, then weights. i worked on form and easing in to this workout, and i felt decent about it. i ended with t pushups on weights, so that was killer.

Morning 3 easy

Afternoon did a half mile then 2 mile warmup with a Fartlek up Webb hill which went like 15 sec then 30 45 1 min 2 min and back down. Felt pretty good especially on th 1 and 2 minute ones. I just need to get faster sprinting wise then those shorter ones won't be as hard.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 8 easy out in leeds

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 4 warmup, 20 minute tempo (about 3.5 miles) with a small cooldown, with weights after. felt really good in the tempo, definitely didn't have to go to the well for this one. weights was good, i can feel myself getting stronger. 

Also I just remembered something from the tempo; right at the start I was starting to feel a sideache and I just remember telling myself that I didn't have a side ache and nothing was hurting and it went away. Pretty cool how your mind is stronger than your body 

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 4.5 easy kony run. felt good and had a good talk with coah about indoor track, basically it's not worth it.

morning- rest

afternoon- 2.5 warmup, 4x800m hill repeats, 2 mile cooldown. felt pretty good. my form felt good until it got reall sloppy with the mud, but on the last one i worked on that and it overall felt like a really good push. good stuff from everyone today.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 8 easy out to the lonely mountain. definitely the funnest run we do.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 4 for the warmup, 20 minute tempo (goal pace: 5:45-5:55) and a tiny cooldown. we went 5:50, 5:48, 5:46, and then we really pushed the last part with like 5:20 pace at the end. felt really good, legs are just a little tired. weights after was great. it's starting to get easier, so i'll have to up the weight next time.

Ran 10 miles out on the strip with joe and scott. Super fun run with jumping and climbing, two fun runs in a week is always a good thing.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 2.5, drills, strides, 4x1600m with goal pace at 5:23 again, then a mile cooldown and weights. i felt pretty ok, it was still kind of hard. i hit 5:21, 5:22, 5:19, 5:16. i need to not go faster on my times but its hard not to. hopefully it doesn't kill me. weights was great. i upped the weight on all of the stuff and i felt really good about it.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 4 mile kony

no morning run

afternoon- 2.5, drills, and we were gonna do 3x400, 3x800, then 4x200 on the track but we had to move it to webb hill. so instead we did 3x1:30, 3x800m, then 4x:40 sec, 2 cool down. at first i was a little irritated that we had to move it, but i was really proud of this workout. i eased into the 1:30's, then i went pretty hard on the 800's, then it was all out on the 40 sec ones. it was really hard, but it was nice to not have to worry about times again.

ran 8 by myself. i started at where we park for little black mountain, then i went to the petroglyphs and i kept going straight, it turned into a pretty cool trail.

ran 7 easy with joseph

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- weird workout. we were supposed to do 3x400m, 3x800m, 6x200m, but thanks to josh's stupidity we ended up doing 4x400m, 1x800m, 6x200m. the goal times were 1:10, 2:20, and :34. on the 400's i averaged 1:10, on the 800 i hit 2:21, on the 200's i hit 32-34 for most of them then coach said it was ok to torch the last one so i hit 28 on the last one. felt pretty good. i'm guessing 7 total for the afternoon

morning- rest

afternoon- 4.5 kony

did a mile warmup and drills, then did a 7 mile progression run out at warner valley with the crew. we hit around 6:30 the first mile, then we progressed and the last 2 miles were 5:39, 5:20. jaden made a strong move that josh went with, and i tried to go with josh, and kale tried to go with me, and there was about an even amount of distance between us 4, until josh caught up to jaden and kale caught up to me, it was pretty cool haha. good stuff from the brewskies today

Morning- 3 easy

Afternoon-2.5, drills, strides, 12x400m goal pace at 1:10, 2 mile cool down. I kinda felt like crap but I think it was just cuz of the cold. I averaged 1:09, my slowest being 1:13 and fastest being 1:07. Weights after was tough too. Kind of an off day.

Morning 3 easy

Afternoon 8 easy on the strip. Beautiful out there

Morning 3 easy

Afternoon we had our time trial. I ran 4:40 on the dot. Not too pleased with my time. There's definitely room for improvement, and I'm excited to see what I can do. Positives from today were that it's a 2 second pr, I had a strong last lap, and we're not even trained to hit super fast times yet, so to pr isn't too shabby. 

morning- 3 easy. that caleb kid should run with us int he afternoon too, he could be good.

afternoon- .5, drills, kony run. felt good.

Morning 3 easy

Afternoon 2.5, drills, longer strides (I think they helped), ladder workout which was 400 800 1200 1600 and back down, with goal times at 1:10, 2:25, 3:49, 5:16, then the last 400 was all out. I hit my time on all of them except the last 800, where I was 1 second slow. Big confidence boosting workout, I feel really good about it. Good stuff from everyone today

afternoon- ran 4.5 easy with 4x150m starts.

Ran the mile at the first meet of the year!!! I'll put in my time once I know it. The gun went off and I got elbowed way into the inside, I started out in like 3rd to last. I wasn't worried though; I knew the people in front of me we're gonna die. I started moving up at the 800, and with 300 to go i kicked and passed the people who boxed me out so that was good. Ended up from 3rd to last to like 5th or 6th. Not too shabby, considering the crazy wind and everything. Good stuff from everyone 

found out my time, it was 4:45. not too shabby, it's my PR from last year and i got it in the wind. tons of room for improvement.

Ran the dirty Hurty today and it hurt, hence the name. I took the first half with josh kale and coach holt, but i spent way too much time at the aid station and I was stupid and didn't even eat anything. Matthew caught me, then spencer Neaville caught me. I didn't care too much though cuz I was top 5 which was cool. Super hard run. Really fun though, had a lot of funny roasts with the guys. Also it's cool that pretty much the whole top 10 was high school kids. Good stuff from everyone.

Ran 7 easy with tanner

did a 2.5 warmup, strides, 5x1000m goal pace at 3;08, mile cooldown. these were hard today. i hit 3:06, 3:08,, 3:09, 3:09, and on the last one me and tanner duked it out and went 3:03. an average of 3:07, so not too shabby. also our last 200m was right around 30 seconds, so we were flying

afternoon- .5, 4  kony, and starts. felt good.

Morning ran 3 easy

Afternoon ran 3 easy on a trail by this huge canal. If yall wanna watch the races tonight and you have runner space plus then do it! It's gonna be sick 

Morning- warmed up with kale josh and Jaiden just to kind of shake out run, just an easy 2 miles.

Afternoon- spent most of the day chilling at coaches brother in laws house. We just watched basketball and ate food, with some fighting thrown in there. I pinned Jaiden 2 out of 3 times on the trampoline. Sick. Anyway we headed over to the track at about 5 ish so kale could warm up for his race . The elite mile was sick, Carlos Villarreal out kicked the leader who had like a 50m lead on him, he closed the last lap in 55. Disgusting. Also good job to zak and Nate, who both ran 51 in the 400. Anyway me and Jaiden and josh started warming up with about 45 min til the race, then we got our hip numbers and sat in the bullpen. They took us to the track and we did some strides. The gun went off and I got  out pretty well. I hit the first lap in about 1:13, right on pace for a good time. I think I was in about 3rd to last at the mile mark, which was 4:54 ish. I just remember going way harder on the second mile, and I caught a lot of people. I went from close to last to 15th overall out of 30 people. So that was sick. I out kicked 4 people in the last 200, also sick. My second mile must have been 4:50, since I came in at 9:44. It's a huge PR. Everyone did really well today. It was a great experience at a very well put on meet, and it was cool to race with some of those national leaders and stuff. Good stuff from everyone today. 

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 2.5, drills, strides, 4x1200m with first 800 at 2:32, then balls out on the last 400, 3x300m, 4x100m all out. didn't really focus on times for this workout because of the wind, but it was a great effort i feel like. coach had to tweak it a little because it was a really hard day for all of us, but it was a great effort from all of us. i felt like i was flying on those 100s. found out that i'm running the 800m and 1600m at pineview, which is a little scary cuz i'm a 3200 guy, but i'm excited.

Also it means I can't race Connor baller, sorry baller we'll have to duke it out some other time

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 6 easy

Morning 3 easy

Afternoon 2.5 drills strides and then we did 10x400m at mile pace (1:08) and on the last 4 of them we had surges in the middle of them at random spots where one of us would lead and surge when we wanted. I hit the first 6 in 68, 69, 68, 67, 66, 68, then I lead the first surge one and I surged at about the 100m mark, finished that one in 68, then other people lead and I finished the next ones in 67, 67, 66. Then we did 4x100m starts with weights after I hit my times on all of them, but I didn't really feel good doing it. I'll have to take care of the little tjings before pine view. Good stuff today

Morning 3 easy

Afternoon 4 kony with 200m finishes. Super pumped for tomorrow 

ran the 1600 at the pine view invite today. its a huge meet, and it was lots of fun. i got to the bullpen and i found out that i was 1 second away from being in the fast heat. that kind of messed with me mentally. i warmed up, got to the line. i was seeded 1st in my heat, so i was in lane 1. the gun went off and i hit the first 200 around 32, then i started settling into my pace. 68 at the 400. i found myself boxed into the pack, so i couldn't get around them, and they had the 2nd lap super slow, 70. i stayed where i was and started picking it up, 3rd lap was 69, then i started to move with 400 to go, and i was duking it out with this kid who i found out was kenyan, and with 200 to go i thought it would be super cool to outkick a kenyan, so i decided to go from there, and out kicked him, and finished with 4:34.04. it was really fun and it's a decent time, but it was 2 seconds shy of state qualifying. my legs were on fire pretty  much the whole last 2 laps, and they've been on fire all week, so to run 4:34 on super tired legs is pretty good i think. also i haven't been outkicked in a race since Footlocker, so maybe i'm building some speed. good stuff from everyone today.

ran the 800 at pv today. it was weird because i'm a 3200 guy, but it was really fun. the gun went off and i think i got out pretty well, i went right to lane 1 after the cones. i hit 200 at 30, and 400 at 62. from then on i actually felt pretty good, and with 200 to go i was all out, passed 2 kids before the finish but couldn't quite catch jason or skylar from pine view. finished with 2:06, which is a huge pr and byu qualified. i may be an endurance guy but it's good to know i've got a little speed in me. good stuff from everyone today

Morning 3 easy

Afternoon 2.5 drills strides 4x1000m goal pace at 3:05 then cutdown finished from 350 to 100. It was super hot today, and I think we all just need to get used to the heat again. I hit 3:02, 3:05, 3:10 (really feelin the heat) and on the last one I felt decent so I reeled in kale and almost caught josh and ran 3:05. Didn't tkme the finishes. Average of 3:05 on the 1000s so not too shabby. Also I got my ACT score back, I got 29. You beat me this time, Warbeast!

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 7 easy out on the ridge. Joe you're not a straight up G you're a straight up A+

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- warmed up and ran the 2 mile at the distance carnival. it was kinda crappy, i'm a little confused how i even splitted 5:01 and 5:01 but at chandler i went 4:54 and 4:50. well i know what i'm capable of, and i'm ready to unleash it!

Morning 3 easy

Afternoon 6 easy with kale

Went up to SUUs track today for a workout at a higher elevation. It was a 1600 @ 5:23, then 4x800 at 2:28, then 3x300 at :48, then 2x150 all out. I hit 5:21, then 2:28 2:27 2:28 2:28, then from 47-50 on the 300s, then I really focused on finishing strong on the 150s. The workout was pretty hard just because of the elevation, but I hit my times so it was good. 

ran 7 easy by myself today. felt pretty good

morning- 2.5, drills, strides, then 4x400m at 2 mile pace (1:13) and 6x400m at mile pace (1:08) then 2x200m finishes. hit 1:09, 1:13, 1:12, 1:11. then hit 1:08, 1:07, 1:08, 1:06, 1:06, 1:05. all out for the 200s. felt pretty good besides the wendys i ate last night. gonna run 3 more today.

3 more miles later

Morning- 3 miles easy to the bridge 

afternoon- we had the panther relays. its always a lot of fun. all i did today was the 1200 in the dmr and the 4x100. my first lap in the 1200 was 69 and i ended up with 3:23 so i negative split. i started out in about 10th and worked my way up to 3rd, i would have caught 2nd place but i needed a little more lengt in the race and i would have had him. also i brought our team up to first in the 4x100, i think we finished 3rd. i can feel myself getting pretty sick so i'll have to keep doing the little things.

I took the day off of school today bc I'm feeling really sick. I just chilled a bit, snap chatted Alli peterson, nbd....but I'm feeling better so I'll go to practice today. I'll make up the mileage I missed this morning on Friday or Saturday.

7 total including warmup and strides.

no morning run unfortunately...still sick. i hate it.

afternoon- 4.5 with 4x200m. still feeling pretty crappy, just gotta keep pushing the fluids and all that and hopefully i'll be ready for saturday.

ran 6 easy today during the meet. i think i'll be ready to go for tomorrow, definitely not 100%, maybe like 75%, but all i need to run is 9:59, and if i'm feeling good i'll go faster.

Not great today. Shouldn't have raced due to sickness.

Morning- ran a 2 mile warmup then 10x1:00 hard one minute easy out on the spectrum. Did it in the morning because of alt J.

Afternoon- ran 3 easy before alt J. They're definitely the best alternative band I've ever heard, very lucky to see them live.

No morning run because of alt J.

Afternoon- did a 2.5 warmup with drills and strides, then 16x200m at 2 mile pace 35-36, with random all out 150s thrown in whenever coach said. This was a great workout for me, even though it was easy. I hit all my times and didn't stress about the times, and finished hard into the wind on the 150s. Good stuff.

With the last 2 races being really bad for me I've been kinda low on confidence,  But now that I'm getting my GPA back up and my sickness is almost gone I think I'm just about ready to roll.

Morning- 3 easy

Afternoon- 6.5 easy. Felt good and it was a fun run.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 5 ish miles with josh and jaiden

morning- got to snow canyon to warmup with kale and bryson. i haven't had good races lately, so i've just been trying to relax my mind and stop overthinking things. got to the line, the gun went off and i got out really well, and i settled pretty well too. i let all the pv guys go around me as usual, hit the 1600 at 4:55 ish, then started moving up. i caught people and with 300 to go i caught bryson and started going from there. eric was right in front of me and i was pumping and pushing but i couldn't bring myself to go get him. finished with 9:52, which is decent. i think i have my confidence back, and i know i can go faster.

Morning- ran 3 easy by myself because of an early morning apush review

afternoon- 6.5 easy on the trails. felt good but it was hot. Apparently they take the top 30 in the 2 mile into the fast heat, and my time puts me at 31. hahahahaha it's all good though, i'm really excited. i will achieve my goal.

Morning- 3 easy before mr cannons review. Also I found out today that I'm in the fast heat of the 3200 at byu #blessed

After a bit of a hiatus from the running blog due to a few bad races, let me just recap the end of my junior year. I ran the 3200 at state, where I placed 6th, got a medal, ran a slow (but tactical) time of 9:57, and scored points for our team that went on to win state by about 100 points and set a new 3A record. Pretty good end to the season. 

With about 5 hours until the midnight 5k started I decided to register just for the heck of it. Boston won it last year and I knew I could win if he was my only competition. By the way we're right in the middle of our two week break, which means absolutely no runnin. I warmed up about 2 with boston then we got to the line. When we started I got out and it was just me boston and some dude. The dude died out pretty quick, and then some pro sponsored dude or whatever came up from behind, and I stuc with him for the first mile and a half, by then we had gapped everyone else, and I made a tactical mistake by swinging wide on a turn, where he surged and I couldn't match it. He ended up winning in 16:10 and I ran 16:48 for second place. Not too shabby for no running for a week, and it's 16:12 at 3 miles that's pretty tasty for this early. I also won 35 bucks to the running center. Looking forward to a great cross season.

3 miles at camp 

Ran at puffer lake. Puffer? I barely know her

3.8 miles down to the hood at camp 

i don't usually put serious stuff on the blog, I like to keep it short and funny but I've decided to make a serious post for Delano. So what it is is at running camp there's a 12,169 foot peak called Delano peak that we run up, and some of our faster guys also get to summit holly and stuff, and coach thatcher started the tradition last year that the first boy up Delano and the first girl up Delano would win a pair of sweet trail running socks. Last year kale won and I took 4th, and ever since, I really wanted those socks. As the "race" drew nearer I started to want to win more not for the socks but because it's my senior year and last time to try to be the first one up Delano, I thought it would be sweet if I was the first one up in my last year doing this crazy sport. So we ran about a .7 mile "warmup" to the point where coach thatcher lets us go for it. Kale took us through the forest pretty quick, and when we got to the base of the mountain it was me , Jaiden, scott, and spencer. Scott and spencer immediately pulled away, and Jaiden fell back a ton. They had about a 20 meter lead on me. I just stayed positive and patient, and when we came to the steepest part of the climb, I knew I could reel them in and start creating gaps, which is exactly what I did. I caught spencer and scott at the steepest part, then ran with Scott a little bit, then started to make my move up the mountain. I didn't look back from this point. Only up at the peak. I got to the point where I couldn't hear their breathing behind me and I knew I had it. I got to the top first in about 28:15 which might be a record, I'll have to see what kale got last year. I just laid down at the top and screamed like rocky did in the 4th one. That was probably the hardest I've pushed myself, and it's now given me the confidence to run with hardcore pain. If you wanna see another sick "race report" check out Scott Sandberg's blog. He also has a sick picture he took from his drone at the top of the mountain

3 miles total for the relay. We took 3rd and I felt like I was flying 

6 miles to blue lake before heading home. Last xc camp of my high school career :'(

6 with strides. We're making the big switch this week, I'm so ready.

3 easy through the 6

3 easy to hidden valley 

warmup, 6x500m hill repeats, 4x400m progression finishes, cooldown. i hit 1:41, then coach said dial it back to about 80%, then i hit 1:43, 1:45, 1:47, 1:44, 1:39 for an average of 1:43. good stuff for our first workout in the heat. halfway up the hill on the last one, spencer looked over at me and said "for frodo" and took off, i would have stuck with him if i wasn't laughing so hard lol. ice bathed with boston and all the beautiful sophomore girls, so pretty much just boston.

3 easy to the bridge

7.5 total. We were shakin lots of bacon, cookin an egg in our shoes 

3 easy to hidden valley

Warmup, first 2 mile time trial at bhnp, barefoot cool down. Well I felt like ultimate garbage, idk what's wrong cuz I felt the same way yesterday and this morning. But I was faster than last year, and I'd say that's pretty good considering how bad I felt today

I just looked at this same time trial from last year, and almost our whole 1-7 was faster than kales winning time from last year, and I was 2 seconds faster this year despite feeling like the south side of a mule. Good stuff from the crew todizzle 

Also today was my last first bad workout cuz I'm a senior. There's gonna be a lot of "lasts" this season :'(

3 miles to the spectrum. Idk mane, I'm still having cramps and feeling like crap. It's black magic.

7.5 total to the lonely mountain. Fun stuff man

Warmup, drills, monster fartlek: 1:1 2:2 3:3 4:4 5:5 4:4 3:3 2:2 1:1, with a tiny cooldown. This was a great workout from everyone, coach had different people lead each rep, Matt led the first 1, joe and boston led the 2, spencer led the 3, I led the 4, scott led the 5, Bryson led the 4, ginge led the 3, Gibby led the 2, and Caden led the 1. Everybody pushed harder when they had to lead, it was great. In the eternal words of Julian Casablancas: please don't slow me down if I'm going too fast

3 easy to hidden valley 

5 in the PM with striders. "Heaven is a place on earth with you"-Lana Del Rey

3 easy to the bridge 

CEDAR ALL COMERS

Warmed up, ate some weird thing josh gave me, ate like an ounce of gu and got to the line. The gun went off and  I got out pretty well. I settled well too, right behind the entire canyon view team. It was them up front then me josh Jaiden and spencer in a group. The pace felt good and I ended up taking the lead after the first lap. When no one went with me I slowed it down and let Jaiden lead, then with about .75 to go I regained the lead and held it until about 20 meters to go on the track, and Jaiden out kicked me. Really good stuff, but if I wanna beat him I gotta create more of a gap, he's fire on the track lol. "Won't somebody get me off of this reef"-Bradley Nowell, Sublime 

We also did 5x30 sec hard with equal recovery afterwards. Felt like a baller. Connor baller, to be exact.

Also I think it's cool to point out that spencer was first on the team last year with 15:41, and we had Jaiden, me, spencer (again) and tanner under that this year. Rock the boat mane

3 easy to the spectrum 

Warmup, drills, strides, 4x1 mile at BHNP with goal pace at 5:45-5:50, cool down. Hit 5:56, 5:45, 5:45, 5:36. Felt good, even after the race yesterday. Calves are tight, but that's nothing a little Lana Del Rey can't fix.

3 easy to hidden valley. Today's the first day of school. My man, my man

Did 7 around the ridge loop to rainbow road. "I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend"- Jumper by 3rd eye blind. I'm not tryna copy my boy sherrifwoody, but lately I've wanted to post song lyrics that pertain to my run. And we jump across this ledge on rainbow road, so that's what it made me think of 

3 easy to hidden valley 

2 easy in the afternoon. Was going to race PV but got cancelled cuz of lightning so we're just doing a workout tomorrow. "Have you ever seen the rain"-Creedence Clearwater Revival

Originally was gonna do 10 easy but we did a workout today cuz of the lightnizzle yesterday. 3 mile warmup, 5 mile tempo with last 2 hard finish, 2 mile cool down. Didn't wear a watch but we pushed it. "Save all your food stamps, were burning down the trailer park"- Loser by Beck

DESERT RELAYS

Morning- 3 easy

Yay fast running blog is back. Anyway today was the desert relays against pine view. The relay teams went in order of your place on the team, so my relay team was jaiden then me then spencer (first team). Jaiden had the first leg and he handed it to me in second place, me and tanner duked it out and with a half mile to go I made a move and handed the baton to spencer in first place, and he finished it off in first place. I had the fastest second leg of the day so I got to write my name on the coveted bowling pin. Good stuff from our entire team today 

Also I'm totally guessing on mileage lol

Morning- 3 easy to the spectrum 

Afternoon- 5 miles. Nice recoverizzle . Also I went on a "date" with Kyla this morning cuz we both don't have class the first 2 periods so that was fun.

3 easy to hidden valley 

Warmup, drills, 4x1 dirt mile repeats with goal time at 5:39, cool down. It was 107 today holy crap but it was good, me josh jaiden and spence packed it and went 5:47, 5:35, 5:35, 5:32 for an avg of 5:37. Super good stuff in the heat. Gonna steak tonight lol take that Scott 

3 easy to the bridge 

4 easy with strides

SUU INVITE

Warmed up, took my new prerace energy food (fruit snacks) and got to the line with the crew. The gun went off and I got out really well, right into 2nd place behind Jaiden. Me spencer and jaiden worked together for a while, then Jaiden decided to take off. Me and spencer kinda decided not to go with him, and he created a big lead that we closed a little bit, maybe we should have went with him but whatever. Throughout the whole race it was just me and spencer working together, I would surge and we would keep exchanging leads. At the top of the part where we all start our sprints, spencer looked over at me and said "men of the west, move out" and we started kicking. It was about 300m worth of nick, and about 100m in mckade from CV came up on us and we managed to outkick him. I tried to get spence, but he got me by .5 of a second. We almost had a perfect score if it wasn't for josh lol, we scored 17 points, super good stuff with a dhills 123 sweep. Good stuff from everyone today. Time for Netflix and chill lol

3 to hidden valley 

8.5 total out in the boneyard, felt good. Yeeeahhh 

Morning- 3 easy to the bridge 

Afternoon- we had our second time trial today. we did at BHNP, so a hard course of course lol. warmup, 2 mile race, then 4xfinishes, cooldown, core. we started and jaiden and spence led it at first, we hit the mile around 5:30, then it came to just me and jaiden with josh back a little bit. when we got to the steep hill the second time, i dropped jaiden, then with about 600m to go josh came up on my side and we ran side by side til about 100m to go where i outkicked him for first on the team with 11:01. pretty good stuff, then we finished hard (with the help of josh mcphie) and did core. yeeeeeaaahh

morning- 3 easy to the spectrum

afternoon- 6.5 easy with striders. josh pantsed spencer and spencer mauled josh lol

Morning- 3 easy

Afternoon- warmup, drills, 8x800m repeats at BHNP over hay bales to practice for AF, cool down. Our goal range was 2:30 to 2:40, I hit 2:41 and then 2:33-34 on the next 5, then 2:32 and 2:31. Felt comfortably hard. Bryson biffed it but then he caught back up it was sick lol

Morning- 3 easy to the bridge

Afternoon- 3 miles at the state course. They changed the course which I'm not happy about.

AF GRASS RELAYS

Warmed up about 3 miles jogging around cheering everyone on cuz I was our 4th leg. Jaiden ran well, tanner felt like crap or else we would have done better but it's all good, he's a stud, and you can't control how you feel in a race. Josh closed a lot of gap, gave the baton to me. Lone peak had about a 15 second lead on me when I got the baton, it took the whole first mile to catch up to Jamison. I caught them at mile 1, then we worked together until about 500 to go where he made a move that I tried to match, but couldn't quite stick in there. Handed spence the baton in 4th and he held it. All things considered it was pretty good, especially cuz a flat 2 miles isn't our forte, our forte is hilly 3 miles with the TEAM all together. Super pumped to show everyone who we really are at BYU. Cooled down barefoot and drank some good stuff. My time was 10:28, which was 1 second away from getting a plaque  G dang it lol. Good stuff from everyone

Morning- 3 easy to hidden valley 

Afternoon- 3.5 warmup, 30 minute tempo with first 15 at 6:15 pace, then drop it every 5 minutes, with last 2 minutes all out, cool down. Wow it was hot today. My phone said 103. I hit 6:24, 6:08, 5:49, 5:42, then right around 5:20 pace for the hard finish. We started with a huge pack, then at about 23 mins it was just me Scott Jaiden josh and spence, then Scott finished his 25 mins and it was me spence and josh, and we each finished right around 5 miles. Really hard workout. Time to recover! Good stuff from the crew today, super pumped for BYU. We're all ready.

Morning- 7 miles easy with spence, boston, Bryson, and tanner. Felt good and it was way nice to get out of the heat. PEOPLE

Afternoon- the JV is racing at Dixie all comers today, gonna go cheer them on later. 30 mins of aqua jogging at Bryson's.

Morning- 3 easy. Got my blood checked today , 46. Not as good as 49 last year but I'm chalk full of iron.

Afternoon- warmup, drills, 12x400m on the grass at little valley with first 8 at 1:13-1:15, last 4 at 1:08-1:10, mile cool down. Felt good, hit 1:20 on the first one just getting a feel for it, then ranged 1:11-1:15 on the next ones, then on the last 4 we went a little too fast and went 1:04, 1:05, 1:05, 1:03. It felt good so I guess it's alright. Good stuff from everyone and we got to watch our skinny bodies run cuz coach thatcher videod us it was sick

Also we had to change the course on that park cuz of construction so the first half was downhill the second half was slight uphill as opposed to all slight downhill

Morning- 3 easy to hidden valley 

Afternoon- 6.5 easy to sunriver. Kale came and it was toasty 

Morning- 3 easy to the bridge

Afternoon- 3.5 around a park up north. So pumped for BYyizzle

BYU 

Warmed up with the crew, got to the line with big goals. The gun went off and I immediately got out pretty dang well, maybe a little too well. I was right around top 10 for 2.5 miles. Spent most of the race flirting with Davis 3rd 4th and 5th guys, which was perfect.  According to coach we were only 3 points away from Davis at 2.5 miles, but me and tanner lost some places. Anyway, with about a half mile to go a group with Connor baller, max spence, Galen, Jamison, and a mountain view(?) kid came up on me, I stuck with them til the track but I couldn't quite catch them. I had gained ground on Galen, he got me by a second, and right at the line Davis's 4th guy almost got me but I got him with the head lean. Finished with 15:55, they said it was 3 miles but I'm thinking more like 3.05 or 5k but whatever, times don't matter it's all about place. Finished 13th overall, we took second to Davis but only by 24 POINTS!!!!! This was the closest we've ever been. A few of our guys (spence, tanner, and maybe Bryson) didnt run as well as we know they could have, but they're studs and once everything comes together, things will be glorious. Super awesome stuff from everyone.

Shout out to Connor baller for showing me the light as to how long the course is.

Morning- 3 easy through the 6 by myself 

Afternoon- drove Scott, Boston and joe about 45 minutes out on the strip to seegmiller mountain for 7 easy. Sick run out there, I love going out there where it's like a forest and not desert. On the way back we found a huge water tank and a weird underground bunker thing with a dead rabbit in it, weird stuff man.

Shoutout to myself for earning the coveted "visible views" on the fast running blog. I owe it all to the beautiful Alli Peterson , for bringing it to my attention, thank you Alli P, and keep reading my blog PEOPLE, you won't be disappointed

Morning- 3 easy to hidden valley. We're doing the Michigan today...for those of you who don't know what the Michigan is, let me tell you right now. It's a 2 mile warmup, then a fast mile on the track (4:55-5:10 ish) then one minute of recovery, then a road mile at about 5:45, then a fast 1200 on the track, then a road mile, then a fast 800 on the track, then a road mile, and then whatever you have left is used in an all out 400 on the track, and if after all that you break 60, coach buys you dinner. So far I've ran 61 like 4 times but today will be the day. Stay tuned for details . BY THE WAY THERES 1 minute of recovery between everything 

7:15 PM- 3 mile warmup (including strides) , Michigan, mile cool down. I'm gonna put my goal times and then what I did hit.

Morning- 3 easy by myself 

Afternoon- 5.5 with strides. Man it was hot today and I'm tired from the Michigan. I'm getting an oral surgery type thing tomorrow (not wisdom teeth but I do get laughing gas) so prepare yourselves for that 

Morning-3 easy to hidden valley. Kale came and it was royal. Just got out of ithe oral surgery and I'm still gas from laughing gas hehehe it's good stuff

Afternoon-Lol i  just couldn't even, my body was 300% done. the plan was to do 16x400s at vernon worthen at 1:13, and drop the last 4, but due to my surgery this morning my body couldn't quite handle that, so i did 6x400s in 1::21, 1:12, 1:13, 1:13, 1:13, 1:19, then jogged around for a while (very light-headed..i guess it takes a day for the drugs to be out of my system lol) then i decided to do the last one with the guys and i went 1:06. not too bad considering everything, and this is a really good week for this surgery to happen, because of woodbridge next week. gonna hammer the workout on saturday tho, i'm ready!

Morning- 3 easy. I'm gonna wake up later on A days a lot more often. It's niiiiiiice

Afternoon- 3.5 easy before going up to hatch. Coach took the varsity and we're having fun and my mouth is better and yeeeahhh

we were camping at hatch today so we could get a run at higher elevation. The plan was to warmup for 3 miles, run 4 miles at 7:00-7:15 pace, then 3 miles at 6:30, then 6:00, then whatever you had left in the tank. We were at 8,100 ish feet on a hilly fire road, and because of the hills we ended up doing 4x3:00 min instead of the tempo so we didn't have to worry about pace. It was way good stuff, and my body is feeling better since all the drugs are out of my system lol. Good long run and good finish for the whole crew to a hecka hard week. Now it's time for Woodbridge 😍😍😍😍

Morning- 3 easy to hidden valley. We have an AP Gov test today and I'm not ready cuz of my surgery g dangit. Oh well I've always been good at winging it 

Afternoon- 6.5 easy in the rain. It was sick there was lightning. Also I totally got 97 percent on the AP Gov test lol

Morning- 3 easy through the 6 by myself 

Afternoon- warmup, drills, strides, then we did our ladder workout on the track at 9 pm to get ready for Woodbridge. We did 200 400 800 1200 1600 and back down. I'll put my goal times and then what I did hit:

200: 36, hit 36

400: 1:13, hit 1:12

800: 2:25, hit 2:23

1200: 3:42, hit 3:41

1200: same goal times, hit 3:40

800: 2:21

400: 1:05

200: 28

I felt pretty good. The fast stuff is still in me so I know I can finish fast, and I know I have the endurance too. Woodbridge is gonna be siiiick, I know I'm ready for a blazin time and we're gonna kill it as a team too. Also a fun drive a little over an hour out on the AZ strip with boston and Scott made for a pretty swick day 

Morning- we got to rest because of the workout late last night, hallelujah 

Afternoon- 6.5 easy with team night. One small workout and then Woodbridge!!

After some thinking I've decided I'm gonna log my workouts on paper from now on, not here on the good ol frb. In the eternal words of the legendary josh Mcphie, any team can go hard on the last one, so be the team that goes hard on the last two! 

can't remember much from this race, but i hit the mile in 4:56, 2 mile in 9:59, 3 mile in 15:10. passed like 7 guys in the final sprint including Great Oak's 5th guy, super pumped about that.

today was a great day. we chilled all day playing dying liight as usual. got to the course and warmed up. did our strides and stuff. the gun went off and i got out pretty well, righ where i wanted to be. hit the mile in 4:57, then really tried to push the second mile to try to hold that pace. came across 2 miles in 10:02. still good stuff and i was moving up. kept moving up, then with about 1000m to go spencer came up on my side and said "men of the west, prepare to move out" and i started laughing cuz hes the best. he passed me and i went with him until he started his gnarly kick, he crossed at 15:44 and i was 5 seconds back with 15:49. i passed like 4 guys with 800 to go and like 5 guys in the last 400 meters, so i'd consider it a success. we won by a large margin and got a huge trophy and some sick milesplit/dyestat shoutouts, and nike backpacks. good stuff from our crew, and this was without Tanner, who is an important top 5 scorer. super pumped for what that shows for nike.

morning- 3 easy while wtching the UVU men's crew do 10x1K all at sub 3 minute pace. those guys are true heroes

So here's the deal guys. I quit the blog for a while, and I got back on today just to look at a few things like shoe mileage and stuff and I saw that i still have visible views. So thats sick so i think i'm back for a little bit. Maybe i just needed a little break to remind me how fun it is to track my progress.

morning- 3 easy

afternoon- 2.5 warmup, drills, strides, ladder workout on the track 200, 400, 800, 800, 400, 200 at 100%, 1 mile cool down. I felt kinda flat but it was good stuff, hit 31, 64, 2:21, 2:23, 65, 28. the hay is in the barn, time to catch the does at region, my sweet desert blossoms.

Morning- ran 4 easy by myself. On the way back spencer snuck up on me with his bow and his quiver was full of arrows I thought he was gonna murder me lol. We ran the last mile together which was nice. Super pumped for Tuesday 

morning- 3 easy with boston. slept in a bit because of the weird day today. good talks with boston, time to do some hw and then walking dead and chill

Afternoon- 4.5 easy with 4x200m. Good run. Lost my visible views so that sucks but who cares, as long as I see my blog I'm happy lol. I've been thinking, there's gonna be lots of "lasts" this season. Gotta make it count. 

REGION

No morning run this morning. Idk how I felt about it because it felt like my legs never warmed up during our warm up, maybe it's because of no running in the morning. Who knows. Anyway we warmed up and it was pretty sad cuz it's my last region race. Legs felt flat. The gun went off and I got out right where I wanted to be. Mile 1 felt chill. Mile 2 was a little harder, i was still top 3 but I was fading. Idk why I just felt drained all day today. But I worked my way back up on the final long uphill section and caught nick, but at the top of the hill he blew by me and I couldn't hang. Kinda cruised it in to the finish. Weird race. But we won with 22 pts to 38 pts so that's pretty good. Took 6th just like last year. All in all it was probably a good race cuz the course was hard and it was actually longer than 3 but I won't guess on the distance for this entry. Now it's time to focus up for state, because that's the real goal. Good stuff from everyone today 

No morning run. Much appreciated.

Afternoon- 5.5 easy with strides. We did the ridge which was great. Brigham was there too so that was fun. 

Morning- 2.5 warmup, 6x200m hill repeats, 4x200m finishes, cool down. Every morning workout man, I always throw up hardcore. I didn't let it slow me down though. Finished strong, good workout. State is gonna be crazy and I WILL ACHIEVE MY GOAL

Afternoon- 3 easy with Boston after creating musical fusion 

Morning- 7 easy on the strip. Felt good and it was a fun run with the boys 

Afternoon- 3 easy with tanner Boston and Scott at little valley. We ran by coaches parents house and it looked like his car was there so we contemplated stopping and saying hi but nahh. Güt stuff 

Met at Warner valley with Boston, Bryson and Riley Swaney. It was nice perfect weather. Ran 5 easy then started a 5x:30 sec with 30 sec recovery workout. Coach said just kind of ease into race pace, so that's what me Boston and Bryson did. Then we finished hard the last one. Felt good and I'm super pumped for state. I will achieve my goal.  

Morning- ran 3 easy to hidden valley. Last morning run of the regular season. Almost shed a tear

 Afternoon- our last workout before state. Did a 2 mile warmup, strides, drills, then a mile on the track at 5k pace, 1 mile cool down. Felt really really smooth. Hit 69, 76, 80, 64 for 4:49. Smoothest I've felt going that fast. Good stuff. Now time to focus up cuz I will achieve my goal at state. 

Rest in the morning.

3 miles with strides up at Liberty park
