2012 Training Log – Week 5
Typical taper week. Felt like cr@p every run only to have the legs feel light and snappy for the race. Good timing! Ran great the first 80% of the race, then pretty bad the last 20%. Fair result considering where I’m at in my training. Work to do!
Monday
5 miles
Saucony Peregrine
Hildebrand Ranch after work. Packed snow, but it was soft and I sunk 2-6 inches every step. Tough run.
Tuesday
7.4 miles
Saucony Peregrine
Very snowy. Easy tempo.
Also set a new best on my TRX. When I started I could only do 3 rounds with 5 reps of my exercises. This time I did 7 rounds of 7 reps. Definitely getting stronger. Feels good!
Wednesday
OFF
Thursday

New Balance MT110
Psycho Wyco 50k. 5:09. 15th out of 120. 3rd master. 4,500′ climbing.

The Scene Begins 
WAIT! Did I miss a race report? Need to hear more about the KC effort (uhh, yeah, its a race, nobody feels good the last 20 percent unless they are winning it or dogging it).
No report, yet. Soon. Gotta pay the bills first! Still trying to wrap my head around the last 5 miles a bit. I cratered. Bad. Way beyond just not feeling good. Got some good HR data to look at, though.
