Questions/Comments:
Weekly Workout: 7 Mile Tempo Run
Athlete: Michael Murphy Prescribed Workout: 7-8 mile tempo run around marathon effort (6:20-6:30) Result: 7 miles at 6:26 avg. A longer "tempo run" is a pretty standard weekend workout for most of our athletes. Murphy is now fit enough to where he is no longer in that...
Weekly Workout: 6 x 40m
Athlete: Christian Parr Prescribed: 6 x "flying" 40m at 80%/80%/85%/85%/90%/90%, with at least 4 minutes of rest. Result: 6 x 40m at the prescribed effort Percentages are based off Max speed. When I'm asking Christian to run at 80%, that's 80% of his maximum-velocity....
Weekly Workout: The Recovery Run
Athlete: Asher Catterall Prescribed Workout: Easy recovery run. Result: 30 minute run at 7:30 pace Ah. I know what you're thinking. An easy run is not a workout. True, but it's arguably just as important if not more, and I think there importance of sharing the day....
Weekly Workout 8-10 x 400 (Spring of 2017)
Athlete: Aki Kitagawa Prescribed Workout: 8-10 x 400 in (72-70) Result: 8x400 in (74,71, 69, 70, 68, 69, 69, 69) On our log, I don't see what the rest was. I probably communicated with him about the elsewhere. I asked for these to be done at, and a little faster than...
Weekly Workout: 70 Minute Progression Run in Flagstaff (Fall of 2017)
Athlete: Tyler Van Dyke, otherwise known as TVD, to his peers, friends and enemies. Prescribed Workout: 70 minute progression (6:10 > 5:25) Results: 10 miles in total ( 6:15, 6:15, 6:00, 6:00, 6:00, 5:45, 5:45, 5:45, 5:30, 5:30) Fall of 2017 Tyler was training in...
Weekly Workout: 3 Mile Threshold + 4 x 200
Athlete: "Master Murph" Prescribed Workout: 3 mile threshold + 4x200 Result: 3 miles in 17:29 (5:46, 5:51, 5:52) 4 x 200 (37.2, 36.7, 35.8, 36.9) I didn't give Murphy a prescribed pace. We at best have a general idea of his fitness as he hasn't race in a while....
Weekly Workout: Specific Long Run
Athlete: Asher Catterall Prescribed Workout: "Long run with vertical focus". Result: 15.1 miles, 3h 14m w/ 6,230ft of elevation gain. Unlike the 10 x 800 we did the previous week, this run was all about getting specific. When Asher toes the line for the USATF 50km...
2018: A recap
It's kind of funny to talk about a recap, when really it feels like things are just beginning for the club. If you're reading this, that means that our website is up, and with that, so does our continued effort to compete at a high level. Last January Tyler Van Dyke...
Ultimook Elite: Accepting applications for 2019
We are currently looking to add athletes to our elite roster. There are no formal standards. What you have done so far, is not as important as where you will go in the future. Also, our club is more than just about running fast. We want to make sure we are a good fit...
Weekly Workout: 10 x 800
Athlete: Asher Catterall Prescribed Workout: 10x800 at current 10k effort w/45 seconds of rest. Results: 10x800 w/45 seconds of rest (2:34, 2:35, 2:33, 2:32, 2:31, 2:32, 2:35, 2:34, 2:34, 2:29) Asher's next race is the USATF 50km Trail Champs, but more than any single...
