Personal:

Have been active my whole life, but turned my focus to running in 2006 after deciding to run a marathon.  I really enjoy the training aspect and staying healthy, but mileage has been on the decline over the past 3 years due to work commitments, so focus has turned away from races and more on just staying fit enough to still enjoy getting out.  Moved from Utah to Texas in October 2016 with my wife and 3 month old babe.

Nice interval session today.  I was a little worried after slackin earlier this week, so tried to start conservatively, but felt good, so just let'r rip!  After warm-up, did 8 x 4:00 with 2:00 rest.  Pace per mile splits were 6:13(slight downhill), 6:12(slight downhill), 6:23(slight uphill), 6:21(Uphill & flat), 6:11(slight downhill), 6:16(flat), 6:27(slight uphill....feelin lazy), 6:10(slight dowhill).  Did 2 sets of butt-kicks, high-knees, bounding, & stiff leg running during my cooldown.  Then did 30 push-ups, 30 dips, and a bunch of core once I got home.

Hey Seth, so I am going to be in Midway this Saturday morning (staying at Zermatt). I need 16-18 with 6 @ my marathon pace at the end. Do you have any suggestions for long/flatter runs around there?

Hey Michelle, The Zermatt's a nice place! There's lots of long open stretches in and around town, but not too many sidewalks or trails, so you'll be on roads. Drivers are very courteous though. I'm still pretty new to the area, but have found some nice loops.

I suggest hittin up Mapmyrun.com and type Midway, UT in the search. On the first page there's a run titled 'Short 6 Mile Loop from Zermatt' The start on here is where you're staying, and you can see other roads to expand your run. The Zermatt is kind of towards the foothills, so any direction you come from will be steady climbing.

Since you'll be picking up the pace for your last section, I recommend starting where US-40 and 113 intersect. Take 113 to River Rd. This will be slight downhill with a little uphill. Turn into River Rd and take left on W Burgi Ln(this intersection is a round about). Take this straight to Carl Ln, the left on homestead back to your hotel. Your last mile will have a decent climb the first 2/3, then downhill the last 1/3.

Hope this is helpful, and enjoy the run and scenery! What time are you goin for in the marathon?
