AM-Ran 6 miles for 35:14 total on the Sandy Parkway trail. PM-9 miles straight out of the gate. First four in 25:24, return trip in 22:30. Total run in- 55: 57 with 1 mile cooldown added. Legs tired this evening afterwards of course. Take an easy day tomorrow for sure. Being on my feet all day does not really help recovery either. But my name is not Ryan Hall or Ritzenhein so I gotta work for a living. Oh well, as they say its all goood...
Ran 7 miles fairly easy today 45:19 total. 4 miles sub 6 min pace. Jog some more this evening.
PM- Went out for a short 4 mile run. Jogged a mile then threw in some running at 6/min/mi. pace. Cooled down a mile. No timing, just played and ran as I felt.
Went up through the Sandy bench area for a grinding little 12 mile marathon pace run. 10 miles in 59:05. Total time-1:12: 37 with cooldown. I can't keep tapering every other week this is getting ridiculous... PM-2 miles easy jogging. Played a little soccer with Ian also. He is playing in a leaguefor the first time. I noticed how rapid his leg turnover is and it must be at least 190 per minute! Plotted the 10 mile course on the tool feature for future reference. Sasha always seems to get such amazing accuracy with these applications. Since I don't have a garmin 305 this little program has been very useful.
AM-7 miles easy this morning . Untimed. Was slow anyways with a pulled right hamstring. The tempo run in the cold without warming up enough was probably the culprit. Combined with some bad skeletal alignment it was a recipe for disaster. But I have faith that this will resolve itself before the race.
Ran 7 easy miles today with 3 miles at 6:30/mi. 2 miles at a very slow walk-jog pace. 51:32 total time. Hamstring is tight still especially when cold but markedly better than yesterday.
Went to the Striders 10 mile race. 58:24. Not great but not fast either. But I'll take it. 4th place overall. Not much else to say because I'm rather tired today after work and lingering fatigue from the race.
