  1. RUN
    alright Race - X Terra Black Mountain... 9.9 mi 01:16 07:40 pace

    Tough race. Ostensibly a 15k, but the Garmin showed it at 9.9 miles instead of 9.3 (all of the mile markers matched up until #8, though). The recent rains left the trails rutted; twisted my ankle... read more

    Just an easy jog to try to work some of this soreness out of my legs. I'll know in the morning whether or not it was a good idea.

      The wind was a bit brisk yesterday, but it doesn't look like it had much impact for you. Nice job on those hills, especially the infamous Torrey Pines.

      You aren't the only one. I saw about 20 bikes all huddled in Tartine's. I went out for a long bike today with a lady that told me she and 4 other friends bailed 3 miles in. Yesterday was ugly. You'll find a way to make up those miles this week. Better to be safe.

      It's something I picked up when I was working with a coach from Carmichael Training Systems. For your "foundation" runs, if you're going to run, say, 50 minutes, a good way would be to do it as follows:
      10 minute warmup
      4 x 6 minutes "steady state" w/ 4 minutes in between
      The steady states should not be at an all out pace; you want them to be at a pace that you feel like you could maintain for a while, but one that requires you to focus in order to maintain. Try 20 seconds slower than 10k pace.

      Ran out of space, but the theory is that you get a lot of the physiological benefits of doing a hard run without breaking down your body so much.

      Doing some quick math based on my (not super accurate) Garmin, I came up with an average grade for the Hidden Valley / Via Capri route at about 9.9%, with a 1/4 mile stretch at 21%. Insane.

      I was definitely pushing. This run began with a steep climb (better to simulate Wildflower) and was about 40% dirt trails / 60% pavement. A few more miles would have brought the average speed down I suspect.

    I was 20 or 30 minutes too early to really catch the sunset, but this one turned out pretty well.

    A few blocks from home I stopped to take a couple of pics in La Jolla, between the Cove and Windansea. Weather cleared up for the last 45 minutes of the ride, but the surf was still pretty rough.
