 We made it here. We go more 14ers and yes I'm in pursuit of some interesting terrain today. Let's get ready See if we can't go find it come on Oh, yeah, oh, yeah in the Soccany Mad River TRs So actually there's a Quandary across the valley, but right here in this pod of 14ers is four of them Oh, man, you're gonna test me here. I know there's Mount Lincoln Democrat Bross And there's a fourth one. I'll think of it. I'll think of it, but I do believe I have found my Training ground. So this is what I was coming up here for let's descend. I'm currently at 14,000 hold on 14,229 feet. So we are we are up here. Ah See Fascinating Okay, I want to go. I want to go Over there. That is the direction. I want to go Holy Holy guacamole. I don't know. I guess I might go tag this summit Just for fun. Why not? All right, everyone Look at this made it to the top of a mountain, but it doesn't really look like a top of a mountain Let's just say you could legitimately put a track up here. Look at this Look at this. It's I don't know if you can see it, but it's flat as a pancake Just flat as can be. Oh Man, so I had 3,000 feet of vertical Gain for my warm-up and now From point to point. I'm gonna do two and maybe three minute surges up here This is my interval workout my track workout for the day up here at my my watch says 14,000 170 Feet so this is the this is the this is the track for the day. Oh, man, I wonder I Wanted I wonder how much it would cost to put a track up here. I'm just kidding. I wouldn't want that But this is pretty amazing so I'm gonna go out to this point here and then go back and forth between here and Down there I just taking the vest off for this workout at 14,170 feet. I'm gonna put a put a gel back just for a little extra burst of energy up here and Yeah, this is a little crazy. I'll admit that but that's all right. You know gotta be a little crazy in this world I had a feel ready. Here we go. I'm gonna do at least eight I'm calling them surges because it's it's hard to call it an interval Just because there's no marked off course up here, but I was I'm gonna say two minutes surges eight of them And we might do ten. We'll say I just don't know how much runway I have up here for two minutes So we'll see on this first one. All right, let's go by the way. I forgot the green hat. It's in the wash in the laundry All right, come on All right, so for the last last two reps. I had to change position. I had to bomb off the mountain now We're at 13,911 feet. So still pretty darn high. I just didn't the clouds are getting a little too dark on top I just didn't want to be the tallest tallest thing for miles and miles out here. So now we're on this trail I'm gonna do two more reps up and down this trail here. So Oh, this is gonna hurt Finish that 14,016 feet And just like that, we're back home by the bing by the boom. All right, the last two hours I was craving this pineapple orange banana juice gonna get me a big glass of that start replenishing the body And okay question of the day not the keyword yet question of the day What was the last interval session that you did for me? It was up on the mountain today eight by two minutes with one minute off But if you could give some detail as to how many reps you did what the rest was How did it go for you? And if you have enough time type? I do you feel like it got you prepared for a race for the next hard workout, etc. Etc. All right, let's get some lunch going here late lunch going here. All right, Bada bang Whoa, Bada boom. Whoa Most home Oh finally the fam is almost here. No, I can just wait for that minivan to pull up I got it I love you. I need a hug.

I got it And about a bing about a boom bada bing the fam is home all is right in the world. There's noise back in the house I love it. I love it. I love it. Okay Everyone's asleep and that means I got to go to sleep because I got an early morning So we're gonna keep this concise I was gonna go into a little more detail on interval training my philosophy But I'm gonna save it for another day because I'm tired and my brain is a little zapped right now So we're gonna say that for another day instead If you're intrigued to see how other people are doing workouts interval work speed work Surges as I called it today up on the mountain go down into the comments and learn from their wisdom and their experience All right. Okay, so today 10 miles 16 kilometers 3800 feet of vertical gain and loss or 1100 meters of gain and loss in the Sockney mad river and yes, river is gonna be the key word in the sock me mad river TRs you're not gonna want to miss the first impression of this shoe.
