AM-Medium-easy 15 miles listening to some Mozart. Very relaxing. 7:00-30/out-6:40-6:30/back. Weather is smokin awesome.. Took a nap afterwards and stretched some more. Short recovery run tomorrow. PM- Feeling more recovered after a good nap and some lunch. Went out with the monitor and opened up at 6-6:25/mile for 5 miles on the hills keeping HR at a sane but high aerobic level while constantly playing with running form and watching heart rate after. I think a high forefoot landing is more efficient for my long legs as long as I keep my hips straight. This is only a problem on the uphill towards the end of a longer and faster run. I had very similar trouble on Veyo in 2007 but fortunately was able to make it up on the milder decline after Snow Canyon at St George. I am trying very hard to correct this now. One thing is lifting at work for the last year has done wonders for my core section so hopefully I can translate that to a better time. Anyway, I'm so glad to be done with this overload week now so that I can step down the intensity and recover this week before another push. 7 miles total/ with 5 miles in 31:16. Altaview out and back.
