Luke Beauchamp's training log

Fell off entering my stuff for over a week so I'll give a summary of this week and the race capping it off. Probably did 40-ish miles this week. Ran a meet on Thursday against Juanita and Sammamish. PRed in the 800 staying with the pack and outkicking the field by a second in the final straight for 2:02. Followed that up with a 54.4 4x400 leg. For me relative to my previous shorter speed (or lack thereof) that's really good. Eason mile was a success. Ran out with 3 leaders for 65 1st lap, 65 2nd lap. Well, turns out those guys are really fast and did a 61 3rd lap, leaving me completely on my own as I was the only one who went with them for the first 800. I did another 65 for my 3rd lap. My closing lap left further effort to be desired and I ran another 65 for a PR of 4:20, although with more effort I believe that could be a 4:18 or 4:19. I also believe I would do better to have people near me for the second half of the race. There were other guys with the capability of pushing me in the race, however much of the field didn't have great races. All in all though a very successful race for me and a very good field of milers. I did a 3200 but at that point I hadn't eaten in 8-ish hours and of course I had already run the mile. 9:36 for second. Pretty good time especially under the circumstances. Not a PR, but that will happen later.
