Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
9.00	6.25	15.25

Big Workout

4.75 mile warmup @ 7 min pace to USU track.

1-400m in 80 seconds

4x1600m at LT pace (~5:45) with 200m recovery

5:43
5:42
5:41
5:38 (with big kick)

2 miles at Tinman Tempo pace on the road

5:55 (downhill)
6:19 (flat)

Rest of the way home was at about 7 min pace. I felt pretty good today until about mile 13 then I felt a big bonk coming on. I could tell that I had ran out of fuel. I got all light headed and dizzy, but survived the rest of the run.

T-1:42:25 (6:43) 157 ave 181 max

Looking good this close to your goal race, especially when you repeats are all below your target times. Sounds like you didn't eat enough pizza yesterday though....

Great workout Cody! Do you think you'll be back for a 2:30 something? There are alot of us shooting for that this year. Kory told me their trying to get us together to see if we can work on hitting that. The way Kory just ran that last marathon, he sounds like he'll have no problem. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Dale-

Walter- sub 2:38:47 is the primary goal with a secondary dream goal of 2:35. I will likely be between the two. I would recommend you run around 1:19 or so at the half and then go hard. I remember clearly passing you in the final miles last year while you were busy dehydrating yourself. Don't go out hard! Remember what you learned in Ogden. Kory will likely be around 1:19 (me too hopefully) as he likes to take it out slow and build late into the race.

Wow, 1:19, heading for a 2:35? That's quite the negative split. I know STGM has got some downhill but that sounds like an express train!

From cody on Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 15:45:38

Dale- SGM should be run with about a 4 min negative split. Last year I had only a 1 min negative split including my customary bonk. So, in theory, 1:19, 1:16 should be do-able. If I were a betting man, I will go 1:19:30 - 1:17 = 2:36:30.

I am so glad you "survived"

Believe it or not, I do feel some guilt when you leave in the morning, then I feel guilt when you come home all gaunt. You are amazing.
