training week 4.2 and 4.9

Happy Birthday Roman!  We are so blessed and thankful for a safe arrival.
What a crazy couple of weeks around here with Easter last weekend in the middle.  From a training standpoint, it’s a good thing I took notes this last week.

I’ll do 12m tomorrow.  I think the speed has finally kind of caught up with me a bit.  It’s been a lighter week with Thursday off and Well Wave today at Back In Line @ Hopkins Crossroad.  That machine is a great tool for recovery, especially with acute injuries (I had some ligament damage in my right foot last fall) and it had flared up a bit this week because of the INSANE ViPR workout from Tuesday.
Two weeks:

Tuesdays are ViPR reconditioning days for me with core, foam roll, and movement prep for Wed, Thurs, and Friday.  Sauna, Hot tub, shower and back to work

Wednesday-6-.5 mile repeats at Lone Lake.  It has been beautiful weather these last couple of weeks.  That’s supposed to change tomorrow with some thunderstorms.  Speeds for Wednesday

I’ll attach pictures of the track below next week.

Thursday was sprints out back of LTF CRT -83 paces x 4 after my test.  I did my Heart Rate Efficiency Test (cardio point) this morning and learned that I can actually train faster on my long runs in particular and burn the same amount of fat for fuel.  AB=155/AT=165  This is great information to have.

Friday Hills.   

Brent and I took a trip to Hyland for some ski jump repeats.  I’d done this once last season and really enjoyed it, then in talking to a few of our members at the club, this hill came highly recommended once again.  We had a great time and it was nice to have some company.  Our last of 8 today was up the hill directly under the ski jump.  That hill is a beast (probably 70 degree incline on all fours for sure) Speeds for Friday
