Isela

Saw you at the Cache Valley Classic Isela! How'd you do? I didn't get to compete as I was in charge of the bike leg of tri. There were some FAST competitors that day.

Hey Ryan! It went alright. I had a little mishap in the swim portion but once that was done, it went great. The water was a little chilly...perfect for a penguin but not for me LOL. It is a nice course...I loved the run portion :).

Getting back on track now that we have some sort of Summer normalcy at home :). My ITB is still bothering me, after my legs warm up it goes away but the first couple of miles is bothersome.

I have been stretching it--rolling it on the pain roller. What type of knee strengthtening exercises do you recommend?

Warm up by doing the grapevine (cross one leg over the other) and add some plyometric cross training into your workout.

Picture of my hill repeats. What do you guys think? Do you think I need a longer hill, steeper? Thanks for your feedback.

Looks like a great workout! Its hard to say whether you should change it; depends upon your goals. I run a lot of hills but not usually the same one over and over. I choose a trail that has a variety of inclines and grades. I think there is a benefit of running down and up. Going down a moderate downhill helps with leg turnover and speed development. Going up increases power and leg strength. You might consider doing some long hill runs too. Looks like your doing TOU? New race for me.

TOU is an awesome course. This will be my 3rd time doing it, it was my first marathon too, three years ago. It is all downhill except for the last 5 miles or so, it flattens out and then we have some small uphills (they are really ant hills) but they feel brutal as you are almost at the end and all you want is just flat or downhill.
Thanks for the advice. I will try to find a longer hill and incorporate it. I have never done hill work nor speed workouts, I am just barely starting right now.

If you like that course and it is convenient, then make sure you focus on cadence or speed to get the most out of it. Don't fall into a rut because you have adapted to it.
