Easy run with 4 strides. My legs are really sore. I need to start running 35-40 miles per week. I'll do that all summer and then start increasing my long runs up to 20-22 miles a couple times as month heading into the fall.

Too soon after the race, I was still sore. I wanted to do something fast though. So I did 400, 600, 400, 200 x 2 with 2 mins between reps and a lap between the sets.

Times were 74, 1:51, 72, 36.4, 72, 1:53, 74, 36.9. I also, being a genius, did the 600s starting on the turn facing the wind, so I got it twice instead of once. I also did the 200ms into the wind. But especially doing this pretty close to a race where I bonked out I'm not too disappointed in the times.

Easy run, a little over 2 miles on grass. Quads felt very sore.

Easy run with a couple miles on the grass. I did 2 200ms at 5k pace and 5 strides. The 200ms were a little fast at 39, I was trying to run 41-42.
