Today I had an awesome run. me and my dad ran from Birch Hollow to the overlook and back and then we added on the road to make it an even ten. The run felt really good, so at 5.5 we did a tempo mile till 6.5 in 7:30 and then a tempo half-mile from 7.25 to 7.75 in 3:45. Those parts felt fine but it was really hard to breathe. My legs would fatigue but I'm able to push through that it's the breathing that gets to me. Our total time for the run was 1:30.09. It felt really good but I got 4 blisters and my left knee was bothering me. I'm still a little bit sore from steeple chase but I don't think it affected my run today. (Pegasus: 17 miles)
Earlier today me and my dad certified the Judges Run 5k. So I also biked about 6 miles. The course should be interesting. It starts in the Highland High School parking lot, the first 400 meters is a loop around the lot and then you go out to the perimeter of the park and have the width of a side walk to run on. Then you run around the perimeter of the park on the grass and then run on 15th east to 17th south and up to the Wasatch Presbyterian Church. It should be an interesting race.
Also, I was just wondering, what are your thoughts on drinking carbonation? Does it really affect your running? |
