Total Distance
18.20

18.2 Run with the club. Dave, James, Paul, and Hayden. We dropped Paul off after he smashed Lybi's 5k time. After we made our way over to Ivins Dave and I picked up the pace and ran a tempo back to the store area and then one mile cool down. The tempo was good about 5-6 miles at sub 6 min pace with the fastest mile being at 5:39 so nothing too fast but a good push. It was the first push or tempo type of run that I've done since last fall I think. Anyway it was a good workout to get ready for Del Sol.

(Stratus Blue 180.45)

Happy to hit a solid week of mileage. This is my biggest week ever. I was on pace to go over 130 but felt like I may have been asking for an injury so I cut out on my run Friday afternoon.

What's up Clyde - just checking in to see how your running is going - I look up to you so much!

I'm still sitting on the couch eating donuts, wishing I was out running but doing nothing about it.

Hey Chad good to hear from you. I was thinking about you guys this weekend... we went up and saw Scott and Ty's new homes with Dave and Susan.

What are you up to? I'm sure your busy with a million things. Hope all is going well with you and your family. Give Grace a huge for us!

Hey Clyde - you're logging SUPER MILEAGE! Hence, you will be known as SUPER CLYDE! I was wondering what your opinion of Lydiard is. As I will be coming off this blasted achilles issue, I do not plan on doing any runs faster than 8:00 per mile pace until after my June marathon. Do you think it would be probable to consider a base building phase like Lydiard suggested? I would much rather be able to run slowly then to not run at all.

I totally agree. Slow miles are good miles. Even though the pace is around 8 min that's not too bad for training runs. Unless I'm doing tempo work most of my training runs are around 7 min pace.

So I'd continue to log the slow miles and increase the volume of them every week as you progress to you June marathon. Then after you've recovered from that marathon (one month at least) you could start to up the pace on some tempo runs during the week.

Awesome mileage, man you are smokin'! See you this weekend, until then keep running like the wind.
