Easy Miles Marathon Pace Miles Threshold Miles VO2 Max Miles Total Distance

7.00 4.00 4.00 0.00 15.00

Did a "Big" workout for me, at least. I've just been upping miles, but decided I should actually try something that is not just easy. So first 7 easy pace 8:30, but all uphill (which I've neglected to do enough of and really felt in Park City) random incline program to 1.5 or 2.0 grade. Then 2 at 7:00 followed by 2 at 6:40, 2 at 6:35, then finished with 2 at 7:30. These miles were easier than the paces suggest, because I did them at a -3.0 decline to continue being familiar for the canyons. Overall, good midweek 15.

That sounds like a great workout. I can't believe you've already run 37 miles since the marathon. (with no days off). Pretty amazing stuff!

This is a great workout this soon after PCM. With all the miles and effort you've been putting in this last while I'm betting you'll be seeing a major boost in your abilities soon. Just don't get hurt!

I thought getting in 10 miles at a snail's pace this morning was pushing it for me. You cranked out 15 with 4 at MP and 4 at threshold? Great job.

WOW!! Ah didnt I eat your dust at PCM?? And your just kicking butt again already?? Very good job man. Your going to do awesome at SGM if you go again. What races do you have coming up??

Holy Crap! And you just ran a marathon last Saturday. You are way out of my league man. Great job on the work out, you sound like you are ready to go sub-3 very soon. Good Luck. Like Tom said, Don't get hurt.

Your a BEAST! No pain? After a marathon, it hurts to even think about running. Were not worthy. Keep it up.
