But I wouldn't consider wandering the halls during school hours a problem at all, for the record. The guy who laid the mud monkey probably shouldn't have don't that. But it's been made a bigger deal than it should. Sometimes you gotta go. Dropping a mud monkey in your pants in public is probably more humiliating than going in public, period. Every runner has been there.
What’s funny is to see people bring off leash dogs to these outdoor tracks and the off leash dogs gobble up the turds left in lane 6, whether they were left by humans, by other dogs, or by geese.
Ah forgot about that. IMO Sedona's not "lower-enough" to make it worth it because of how air density scales with elevation. At 4500', Sedona sits at just 60% of the elevation of flag, but the air is only 6-7% more dense today.
Idk. I think a lot of training practices are just What You Do. That's 120 mins sitting in a car to get to a place with virtually the same air characteristics - and it's hotter!
I'm still surprised they were driving over 2 hours roundtrip to get to a track. I figured they would have had something they could use in flag. What a waste of time and CO2, although I guess someone could say that about all of running.

You obviously haven't tried a track workout at 7000 feet. 4500 is a completely different world. Not even close.
In what world do you live in that driving an hour for work occasionally isn't worth the trouble?

BIG difference between 4350' and 7K'. Altitude isn't linear. Perhaps you don't think so, but I think your opinion is in the minority.
And hotter? It's 33F in Flagstaff and 48F in Sedona right now, another point for Sedona.
I'm not defending it... perhaps doing their workouts in Flagstaff would be just fine... just saying that's why they do it.

It's less than an hour, Sherlock.
bro i'm talking roundtrip time, and why don't you drive the road from flag to sedona in the winter and tell me if you can beat 50 minutes

Altitude isn't linear? Do you mean like how the relationship between altitude and air pressure is not linear, but exponential decay?
Anyway, most days in sedona is too warm for me. I'll take the 33 over the 48. Main point about temperature difference was, that when it's warmer your air is less dense. So like year you get higher pressure when you lose elevation, but the higher temps mean the air is less dense, partially negating the reason for descending in the first place.
