4:00 am - 20 miler

Mike and Reed were kind enough to join me for an insanely early 20-miler. Each of us is unable to do a long run on Saturday, so we decided to do it today. 10 easy miles up the canyon, then 8 tempo miles in 5:25 average running down the canyon . Felt great. Kept it controlled and decided not to kill the pace (still recovering from recent workouts). Mike and I worked together.

That's pretty hard core Matt.

I would think if you start at 4 am, there's virtually no day you can't do a 20 miler?

Very well done! Love the mid-week early am 20-miler!

If 5:25 from miles 10 to 18 felt "great", "controlled", and like you weren't "killing it", you're going to destroy St George. Impressive.
