brick workout at the gym.  I missed the 8 AM spin class so I did my own. 60 minutes of 12 x 3on/2off.  For reps 3, 6, 9 and 12 I turned up the tension so I could only hold a cadence of about 80. My cadence for the other reps was probably around 105. After spin I ran 3.25 miles on the TM and then rowed 1 mile in 7.5 minutes.

11 miles of running on the ROAD from Highland then a few on the stairmaster. Unfortunately I am not too excited about the achilles. My garmin was also in bad shape and didn't turn on because it hasn't been used in over a month.

Warmed up on elliptical, 65 minute spin, a couple miles on stairmaster then one mile rowing. I tried my HR monitor for the first time during the class.  For the class it averaged exactly 150 and for the last half it was probably around 160.  During the last few intervals it got up to 175 which I suspect is 10-15 below my max. It's very apparent that I am somewhat efficient at or below 160 but over that gets progressively more difficult.

5x10 minutes with 2 minutes rest in between on spin bike then 2 miles of running on a fancy TM during a biomechanics assessment. The assessment included ekg of glutes and TFL, side and frontal videos to measure angles, and force and pressure measures of each foot strike. The main takeway is that my right glute still isn't firing enough which is putting increased load on my IT band and possibly partly the reason why I strained my left achilles. Clam shells and hip raises are back in the routine.

First real run in quite some time.  Ran with Jake, Josh, Nate and Rob from HHS, through Tanner Park, along Wasatch Blvd., to Ruth's Diner in Emigration and back. I was only planning to run around 10 but couldn't resist going up Emigration for a few more. We picked it up a bit on the way back and got in a few miles around 5:35, one that included a dart across Foothill Blvd.  Body parts held together decently and most importantly, the Garmin appears to still work. I clocked the third fastest time on the prestigious Strava segment "1900 E. Sunnyside to Redondo".

2.5 miles on elliptical, 60 minutes spin, 3 on stairmaster then one mile rowing. I was pretty beat up Sunday after the run but oddly the achilles feels better today.  Maybe compressing it on the downhill helped. Injuries are odd.

AM: stairmaster and 2 miles on TM

PM: bootcamp that included lots of lunges, some sprints, squats, and stepovers. Good for the glutes.

Didn't go to the gym today. That's a change. Ran the basic loop up to Foothill through Research Park and back.  There are still lots of cars on Foothill.

Ran with Josh from Memory Grove, through the U, down through Liberty Park and back. Perfect spring morning for a run.  Planning to alpine ski this afternoon which will be the first time in 7 years and the 2nd time in 16 years. A helmet and parabolic skis should help.

Ran up to Foothill to confirm that the U's tack has blockaids on the inner lanes (it does), wound through the U and back through the neighborhoods. 

PM: burpees, mountain climbers, bench press, leg press, a couple versions of squats and 100 times up and down the stairs. I will call that a mile.

Ran with Josh, Jon and Nate from Highland out to 6200 S. on Holladay Blvd and back through the neighborhoods. Finished with a few around SHP.  Around 7:10 pace for first 8, into the wind, then ran an 8 mile tempo back to Highland High.  Splits were 5:46, 5:42, 5:41, 5:44, 5:52, 5:38, 5:34, 5:26. Felt pretty good about the run and pace considering there were lots of rollers on the way back.

This run puts me at 63 actual running miles for the week. It's been a few months since I did that.

Ran with Josh and Collin from Liberty through Sugar House. Ended with a couple of laps of the park and then a couple stairmaster miles at the gym. Didn't feel great but could have been worse.
