Cooper's Fast Running Blog

This was not a great run. I felt really good going into green springs and right around the clubhouse and the double churches I fell off the pack. On the way back I picked up my pace a little but not as much as I wanted. There is definitely room for improvement!

This run was way better than yesterday! I felt a little sluggish starting out on the warm up but I kept up the whole time. When we started the 20 min of tempo I was feeling great, but half way through started feeling it. I ended up pushing through it and finished on pace and did a cool with no problem at all.

This run was hard getting started because I haven run for a while (I was sick) but once we got to hearts I was doing great! I turned early to go just 40 minutes because my stomach was feeling queasy probably from being sick. Overall it was a good run though.

This was a great run! I felt like I pushed hard and did what I needed to do. We did 15 minutes of warm and than I did 22 minutes of tempo 7:00 pace. Than I cooled to time.

I had an awesome time on this run! It was just me and was a great recovery run from yesterdays workout. My goal for the rest of this track season is to blog my runs.

This a a great way to start the day. I was a little sore but is wasn't too bad. My goals for the week are to blog everyday and go to all the morning practices.

15 min run and weights. The run was good although my hamstring started to tighten up and I was feeling pretty tired.

Morning run 50min I felt so good! Stayed up with the boys the whole time and after my race yesterday I needed a good run.

Today was a good day even though I went pretty slow. It was good at the beginning of the run but right as we got on to the dirt mile I had to slow down a little. My goal this week is to build back up and start running with the guys more and more. I went 7 minutes with them today. It was great to be back at practice and I can't wait to see what the season brings!

Today was a great run! I felt really good on the way to the hill and during the workout, I felt like I pushed hard. I know that I can make some improvements in my hill running so next time I am going to focus on driving my knees and arms. 

Lately, I have been not doing so good and Evan has been on me to stick with the guys and today's run was the best! I felt so amazing and stayed with the top group of boys all 60 min! This was a giant confidence booster!

Today was an ok run for me. I didn't feel all that great and my stoumach was hurting prety bad. On a positive side I realy tried to give it a good hard push going up the sand hill. I didnt stop once and even pasted some people. It will be good to get back in the grove of things this week.

70 min am: I felt great! Kept up with the almost the whole time but fell off around sunrise tires but luckily Spencer was there and ran with me and we had a great finish to the high school.

25 min pm: felt ok I think I was a little tired from my ride n this morning but it was good to shake out my legs

Oh man! This race was so EPIC! I got about 15min of warm up before we raced. During the race I felt so amazing and I kept up with the front group and the whole time I was like this is crazy. After the race Evan and I told each other 3 things we did good and 3 thing that we could work on. Mine things were:

Good

1. I had a Great start and got out in front
2. I pushed myself the whole race
3. During the downhills I dug in and kicked

What I can Work on

1. Staying positive 
2. Responding to Coach
3. Not catching myself slack off

The tempo today was good. I felt good but started to slow around 13 min. I will definitly do 15 min next time.
