Well, after a bit of a calf issue, I am back to feeling good. I had some great workouts in the last block, but slightly tore my calf during a 400m workout. I learned a lot through the experience! Running at altitude is not like running at sea level. Simple I know, but I did not understand the consequences of going too hard. I and been finding about a 7% difference in times between 6000ft and sea level. So, my running 4:40 pace on some of my repeats was a bit premature. I feel great now and am excited to get back to some harder workouts. Training has been going great and I feel as if I will be ready to race well come the new year!
Time will tell and the countdown to the trials oscillates between coming very soon and seeming a long time from now. I do believe I will be ready to run some good steeple times come spring and compete at a high level. I will write more often and send updates on the workouts.
