3.33 miles w/ Tanner on CR 210

April 21

4 x 100, 1 x 200, max sprint on full rest on CR 140; Quick jog, plyos and 4-minute tempo for warmup. Took a few reps to get into the sprints. First two were slow, and then got into the low 14s on the last two. Last 200 was 29 high with a crosswind. Definitely max intensity for me. Changed shoes and finished with a 3-mile light tempo @ 7:15 pace toward Saddle Ridge. 6 miles total.

I think Safer at Home means I can run on the track next week?

3 miles easy w/ Tanner on CR 250

April 23

Slow day at work so I thought I might venture up a little higher today. Went out to CR 224, 219, and even explored the Colorado Trail for the first time in 2020.

This was the wrong choice. 8 ft. snow drifts on the Colorado trail and CR 224 and 219 were muddy and uneven. 8.36 miles in 77:38 w/ 2500 ft. of gain/loss between 8700 and 10500 ft in poor conditions. Felt pretty drained by the end.

3.32 easy w/ Tanner on CR 210.

April 25

5 x 200 on CR 250 on full rest, slightly downhill and no wind this time. 32, 31, 30, 29, 28. Good workout. Not sure how much the downhill helped, but that’s definitely the quickest 200s workout I’ve done since college. 30-minute cooldown for 5.3 total.

April 26

7.55 miles HR sub 150 on CR 220 with some surges. 59:06. Some dingbat started a ditch fire that got out of control and kind of derailed my run and polluted my lungs. Fire crew came quickly and put it out.
