Good test to see where I’m at right now. Overall, I felt pretty good. Weather was solid and the course was in great shape. I missed my goal time of 1:45, but honestly that was a pretty ambitious target.

Through the first loop, the leader and I were on about a 1:40 pace, which I knew was probably too fast. I didn’t play the second loop very well. I saw him walking a hill early on and thought with more hills coming later, I could save energy and catch him with a strong push.

But I never really switched into attack mode. I let the gap grow, lost sight of him, and mentally backed off. I walked more hills than I should have—hills I could’ve and should’ve run to stay competitive.

I definitely left a lot in the tank. Even right after finishing, I knew I had more to give. Physically, I still felt about 90%, which says a lot.

Blew up. Legs were sore this morning even during warmup but once started racing felt good. Started in 3rd. Round a mile in took 2nd. Maybe a tenth after turn around moved into 1st. Was feeling good. Legs were fine. Wasnt taxing. Had 10 second lead on 2nd at the time. Then about 2.2 stomach turned. Started choking. Had stop still had lead. Then maybe tenth later happened again. Then 2 passed me. Was mentally defeated. If i stopped completly regrouped I probably could have caught back up. But I tried running again and basically threw in the towel. Goal was to be under 18 and I think I was gonn get it. But things happen. And thats why you gotta show up. Believe it was the beet powder because I could feel it in my stomach or fish sandwhich last night. Either way did not get it done and am very disappointed to say the least. Even if i didnt win but finished under 18 id been happy. This was supposed to be a race test to see fitness andbsee where actually is. But i failed miserably.

Didn't do Really anything on the weekend.

Training switch ups 3 differnt

1) Really digging the new speed training method which is the norwegian 4x4. Ive tried a bunch of different styles but for me, this fits me best since I hate track workouts and fartleks give me achellies issues. So with this added in with tempo and hill repeats this should help me greatly by end of summer.

2) I also am fully back on percieved effort runs over heart rate. I tried heart rate training and im absolutely against it. It set me back alot over the last couple years. Its to flawed and personally I think it has people running to slow during runs, I also think its a shady concept coaches use to keep clients. To many variables can affect heart rate each day, if you do the same run 7 days in a row your heartrate will not be the same at same pace each of those 7 days. Percieved effort is so much better as a training model. Some days you can run faster with little effort then you cam on other days. For instance somedays a 8 min pace will seem super hard as if you were running at your race pace with heartrate still in a zone 2 or 3 whereas others it seems super easy, while your heart may or may super high. So effort is a better metric for running over heartrate. I know alot of coaches and elites have also back on board. If you have a coach who is reccomending heartrate zone training get a new one.

3) The other interesting thing im mixing in is eating and drinking more during day so im actually fueld and hydrated. Even during runs and races im actually fueling alot more. And going to more feuled runs. Been testing out new gels and hydration supplements I literally can run a 50k in 5 hours with only 500 calories or less food inake. Im incorporating more food/drinks so body has more feul to use and hopefully allow me run better and ultimatly faster. Its going to be interesting to see the race results.

St. Patty's Day 5K/Ruck Uniontown.

Finished 1st in the ruck division with a time of 22:38 which puts me 19th overall in the 5k. We were supposed to have 45lbs in ruck. I know i did.

Goals were to be in the 24-25 minute range and to have a top 10 time if i was inserted into the 5k. We'll I obviously smashed my time but the pacement fell short. Ill take it. Way better then expected. A 7:17 overall pace. Not having ran with a ruck on in forever outside had me out of shape for it. Though i do run with weight vest (they arnt the same thing) and thia was way more weight. I could have pushed more but was not sure how body was gonna hold up later in race so couldnt go all in early.

Was nice course. Id say semi flat. I felt the the inclines probably cause of the weight. For reference im between 148-153 lbs naked depending on day so this was 33.3.% roughly of my weight.

Anyway knocked some goals off my list for the year, which was winning ruck race and I can put a tally on doing 3 races I never done before, two more to go.

Chasing goals, leveling up, making haters upset.
