Traveling guys and coaches are gone for Griak so I ran with Jake today, we did 9 miles and averaged 6:21. It was windy but it actually felt really easy, like around mile 5-6 I didn't know what pace we had been going and it felt like maybe 7:00 or 7:20 and so I asked Jake and he said we were going 6:05! So yeah easy but fast too! Took an ice bath when we finished too, it was a lot less painful than last time but still unpleasent haha.

Get a pair of neoprene socks, like scuba socks. You can get them on Amazon for ~$10. My (unproven) theory is that if your toes/feet aren't totally freezing, you can withstand the ice bath longer, and more frequently.

Also, don't take too many ice baths.

^Are there any alternatives to an ice bath? Asking as a college runner who doesn't have a bath to use

Ice shower, but wear a helmet.
