Spent and hour at cafe eating and talking and soaking in the thin air...

TM Hill Run: 15 min WU with dynmaic stretches

Pace @ 08:49, 5% incline, 20 minutes.

CD: Easy 10 min with stretches at end

Sante Fe Trail. Though I didn't average 7:25 mile pace ( upper hamstring a little tight, didn't want to push it) I finish very refreshed. Felt like I could do it again. The evening was cooler. So the training in the heat has made much stronger in the last few weeks. Last speed work until LT 100!

Sante Fe Trail: Didn't come close to 7:25 mile pace,but ran hard none the less. Little tight upper left hamstring so I didn't want to push it. Kept up a good pace and felt great at the end. It was cooler so made training a lot easier. Yet, training in the heat the last few weeks has made me stronger.
Last speed work until LT 100!

I wanted to start later so I can keep training in the heat. It was hot too. mid 80s! Accidentally went to far on my first trip up. So with the heat and going longer distance. Total time was a little longer. With the heat, I wanted to be conservative and not risk getting G.I My stomach wasnt upset but I DID get diarrhea. I think the heat and comsuming too my gel at once might have been the culpret? I still think it is good training for LT100.

Memorial Park in Manitou Springs to 7.8 mile Sign on Barr Trail= 1:36
( mostly hiked up with some running)

7.8 Mile Sign to Park: 1:00

Park to No Name Creek: 1:20
( Did almost all hiking with less running) Very Hot! still felt good.

No Name back to Park: 48 min
( ran back)

This might be gross to read...but...took a shit twice. First time, stools were normal for me. Second one, at the finish, was diarrhea. I seem to experience this a lot in very warm weather while running for long periods. Hope this is normal in a ultra?

easy run on Sante Fe trail.

15 WU with dynamic stretches

45 min TM incline run @ 10% incline at 11:32 mile pace (5.3). I couldn't hold a 10 min mile pace for that long. Also this close to LT 100 I didn't want to kill myself doing it. :)

CD: 10 min

rowing maching: 10 min'
Pull ups:25 reps

Falcon Trail. Skies were looking scary towards the end.

WU: 10 minutes, dynamic stretches ( running type drills)
