AM-13 miles up 9400s from home out/back. Took it pretty easy on the pace in order to spare glycogen reserves while still getting good aerobic benefit. 7:30ish-8/min pace. Turning on the mitochrondria factory.
PM-Easy 5 miles this evening on 7th/east. 7:30-8/min pace. Soggy.. But not bad once warmed up. Noticed how high I was carrying my arm swing in the last race and so I've been practicing lowering the arms and relaxing the shoulders more. This seems to have made a definite improvement in the amount of tightness I have been struggling with. The tough thing about it is that I have to conciously work on it throughout the run. Hopefully it will become a more natural thing soon.
