 Oh, sweetie. Papa's trying to take care of his body. I did, uh... I did listen to a podcast yesterday. Oh, shouldn't I? I can jump into that. You're making it easier. You're making it easier. Warm up. Sun came out. There we go. There we go, guys. Don't give up. Don't give up. Alright, I'll tell you the time back in the studio. Oh, come on now. We got this. We got this. Remember, I tried to do this exact same workout four days ago. Four days ago, and I called it. I cut it at three miles. Cool. That's what I'm talking about. And a quick tip of the day. You know this. I've said it before. You want to be in control of your workout. You don't want the workout to be in control of you, because that means you're probably going too hard, going to the well too deep. That's what happened on Tuesday. That's right. So today is Saturday. So Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Yeah. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. So four days later, I was in control. I was in control. And we're back at the house. Alright, about to edit the second vlog, the Wild Horse 5 vlog real quick. And then I'm going to import the run into Strava. Oh, I'm excited. I'm excited. After Tuesday, that was a little just disheartening. Not going to say sad, but just a little disheartening. I was like, alright, we've got to reset. Hit that reset button. Oh, this is good. Back from the park. Dinner time. Oh man. Pinterest called. They want their IPO back. Here we go. Look at this. Look at this. Oh, boom. My goodness. Just like a smorgasbord. Cheese plate. We've got your olives. Crackers. Apple bacon. Oh, cheese. Go cheese with honey. Oh man. So sometimes, especially in the summertime, we like to do a board dinner, a display of all the food. Just keep it nice and simple. But it's so delicious. So, boom. Thanks, Son. You're welcome. Blake's Sonoma 50 Miler Race out in California. It's a very, very popular ultra race. And I had an ankle issue and I was bonking like there's no tomorrow. And I really learned that day like gosh, maybe I need to reevaluate this long, long, long distance running and maybe hone in on my strengths. Which, after today's workout at Wash Park, the nine mile threshold, who knows. Maybe I have discerned well for coming back in distance. We're about to find out. We're going to find out together, but it's crazy. One year ago, I was in California. DNF to 50 mile race. Anyway, it's crazy. Okay. Four days ago, I said this. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nine mile threshold was not meant to be today. I tried. All right. Basically, I called the workout early. I went, I think I went 30, three and a half miles. And basically, I was going from 515 per mile to about 530, 535. Now I know, even if it is only a three mile, only in quotes, a three mile race, we've got to respect the intensity that we're putting forth. Even if it's a short, even if it's an 800 meter race, if you are all out in 800 meter, like you're going to feel it, your legs are going to feel it. And I do think those Reebok float ride shoes, three ounces, they're a beautiful thing. But I was digging. I was working hard in that race. Sub five minute pace. I do think it's exact. If I can use that word, it's apt to my legs just a little bit. So today was a different story. All right. Are you ready for a few splits real quick? Hold on. Let me pull them up. And by the way, thank you for all the support on Strava. Okay. Well, let me see. Okay. 504 first mile. So a little quick. I wish I would have been closer to 510. But then we locked it in at 517, 513, 518, 517, 520, 521, 514, and 519. And as you know, as I've said before, my goal marathon pace is basically 518 a mile. All right. At sea level, not at altitude at sea level. So I am very grateful that I'm getting a little older and a little wiser to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. And as we creep ever so closer to Cleveland, the next threshold run will be in I'm going to say 9 to 13 days right around there. I'm not sure yet. Exactly. And again, just going to listen to how the legs are feeling and the goal is going to be 13 miles for that next threshold. And I'm thinking I might need some help. That's right. I'm wondering if someone or a couple people might be willing to come out, come back to Wash Park and basically pace me on a bike. If you'd be game I'm I'm I just know like today was good. I was feeling it at the end that right at right about the eight and a half mile mark. I was like, okay I'm working here. I could use a little bit of encouragement, a little bit of pacing help. And so anyway just tossing it out there. If somebody wants to email me if you have a bike and you live near Wash Park in Denver, I would be grateful for you to come along and basically pace me to 518 a mile pace for 13 miles. That is going to be the next threshold. And one last point before the question of the day the Nike zoom fly flying it this was definitely the fastest I've ever taken this shoe out at and at 550 I think the previous speed was about 615 a mile, maybe 630 a mile. So at 515 515 516 a mile was basically the overall average the react foam was nice the roads were a little slick today. So I was a little cautious there's a couple turns in Wash Park that they're not sharp, but you're definitely like, anyway, you're just turning, you're turning. And I felt slightly unstable with the wet roads. I just had to be, I was thinking about because the stack height is so tall, I think it, yeah it's 33 millimeters in the heel and 23 in the 4 foot so you're up there. Yeah so I was just thinking about let's not roll an ankle, let's not go over so other than the slick roads and just feeling a little unstable I really, really enjoyed the ride at 515 and the react foam is just burly it's just, it's tough. Like this react foam, it's just totally different than the zoom X foam in the vaporfly. So like I'm seeing a little bit of compression I just know this midsole is gonna last a long, long time. I'm not so certain about the outsole actually I'm seeing just a little bit of wear and tear through the 4 foot after basically 65 miles in the shoe so we'll see. We'll keep an eye on that outsole for all of you and that keyword again is reboot question of the day it's a little, it's a little crazy it's a little bit of a tough one question of the day what are you most afraid of in training? What are you most afraid of in training? I could the easy answer for me is you know it's probably injury but I must say I did not like cutting a workout short on Tuesday. Like that was really maybe I did not express enough on camera you know 4 days ago how much that was like no I did not want to do that but I did and I cut my volume this week I cut it by basically 40% from the previous week and my legs felt refreshed and I just felt as I said at the park I felt in control of the workout. So anyway there's a little insight for you for my mental you know as far as how my mental process is working out for this marathon training and I'll be curious, real curious and I know it's a tough one but what are you most afraid of in your training? Alright, seek beauty, work hard and love each other. Thanks for being here on a Saturday, Sunday I suppose tomorrow morning, Boston Marathon, Monday, April 15th I'm gonna go live here in the studio I think I said 7am but I think I'm gonna bump it to 7.30am mountain time because I think the elite fields go off at 9.30am Eastern time. So anyway just hit the notification button you'll get a notification when we go live here in the studio for the Boston Marathon the day is here. Oh hoping for better weather. Oh boy see you tomorrow.
