"Train insane or remain the same."

We're starting off the week with high mileage so that's five miles for me! We did whistle hills today, three sets of sprinting up a gradual hill for 15-20-25seconds. I lost a bit of conditioning while I was down at SUU this past week so the workout was more difficult than usual but not too bad. As long as my IT Band keeps feeling good I should be able to bump up the mileage in a few weeks so that's exciting. We ice-bathed in the Spring today which was sick! It's definitely nice to be back running with the team!

We did mile repeats in the pit today. Our pace was 6:19-6:31 but we hit 6:32 and 6:40 so a bit behind pace but it was super hot and dusty. We worked on pack running and had Alexis lead which she did great at. I felt like I pushed myself physically and mentally so that's good.

I cross trained on the bikes today. We started with a 5min hill climb (turning up resistance every minute) and then we did four sets of 25sec on (increased resistance and speed) 25sec off, 45sec on 45sec off, 60sec on 60sec off, and 90sec on 90sec off. Then we did a couple minutes of cool down and then lifted weights. We also did the pull up challenge today, shout out to Connor for getting me to actually do it. Overall it was a pretty chill recovery day to get ready for some pickups tomorrow.

We did ten 90sec pickups on the rode today. I woke up late so I did them alone at the cemetery. It was pretty hard for me to breathe, I don't know if it was because of the heat or if I'm just really tired, but it was definitely rough. We went to the spring afterwards and I jumped in which was FREEZING! It took me about an hour of lifeguarding in 100degree weather to warm up! But the spring was a party so that's ok.
