- Pre-run thoughts:
- I woke up at 5 and felt pretty good. I ate a whole wheat bagel with jelly again, but I had coffee today for the first time before a run to try to add some caffeine to my workout. I did the nasal rinse too to clean out my nose. We listened to rock and stayed silent on the bus to try and psych out the freshmen before the first workout which was kinda fun but kinda scary too haha. I wore Adios Pro 3s for the workout.
- How fast did you go: 7 min per mile for warm up and cool down and 5:11 per mile for tempo
- How far did you run: 11 miles
- Specifics: 3 mile warm up, 7 mile tempo run, 2 mile cool down
- Post-run thoughts:
- I felt really really good today! I was kinda nervous about going 7 miles because I haven't gone 6 this summer, but it went really well. I was in the back of the pack with Quenton helping the people that dropped off, which was pretty fun and helped keep my mind occupied, Then we focused up for the last couple miles and got going really fast. It was awesome to see a big group through five and six miles especially at the pace we were going. We also had a good group at 7 with me, Quenton, and Chandler. Evan also came to work out with us which was fun! He's in really good shape as usual haha. I'm really excited to race with this team and have a great season!
- Nutrition and recovery after: We had weights which were pretty and mostly stretching which was good, then I got some snacks and gatorade from the fueling station and training room before coach talked to our team a bit about the season and what he thought about the workout. Then I went to Barker with Q, Chandler, Cale, and Lars after showering which was good.
- End of day reflection:
- It was a pretty fun day! The workout was really good and it was really good to spend time with friends! Me, Kenadi, and Liv built a bookshelf from Target for my room, but my room is pretty messy so I need to clean that. I also watched some of Worlds with the dudes then got pizza which was really fun! We played some games at home after too. Good day with the guys in the house today! Should be a good year!
