KZ’s XC team had a 3k time trial over at the Commons this AM to establish who the varsity 7 would be for a meet next week. I headed over, watched the runs. The fastest kid for Broomfield went 10:07 on the route, which were mostly flat loops on cinder.. After most cleared out, I felt compelled to take a crack at it. I took a little wrong turn on the first loop, and corrected but it brought me to 1.96 miles -- a bit longer than 3k. 11:18 for the section or about 5:4x miles. Definitely felt some of the left over fatigue in the legs from the marathon, but I never was really diggin’ too deep. Did 8 x 30 second strides 1with 1 minute rest afterwards, really just trying to get that feeling of running fast while the legs were a bit tired, teaching some faster turnover. 10.2 miles on the day. Nice little test. I think I am going to try to do something like this for the next 3, 4 weeks. Guess I ought to if I am going to have a chance against junior.
Good to get out last night with TZ and catch up with a few folks over at the local brewery, Big Choice. The zingers were all fun, except the ones that had it where folks told me how Lucho was convinced I was gonna kill it.
Kicking around a little trip to my alma mater, UCONN, for a run study. It includes muscle biopsies which I am not a huge fan of. That and my general apprehension to non business travel for personal reasons … not sure if I will do it.
Huge props to Scooter and his FKT. Guy is a brick.
KZ and I did a quick grab of the Green summit from the back (West Green Ridge). We hit some weather that was a bit sketchy on the way back, but it was a fun quick trip. 2.6 miles.
