Got up early for a long one today to beat the heat. Average pace of 8:15 over rolling hills on out and back course. Then an ice bath to refresh my legs. I have three weeks to go for my target 10K race and I'm wondering about my long run for next Sunday. Cut back the distance and pick up the pace at the end? Maintain the distance to keep my base strong? My legs and lungs were fine today. Could have picked it up, but I wanted to keep it under control. My right hamstring started a little tight but loosened up and my left calf has a sore spot, but nothing debilitating. Good run to start the week!
Erin put in 2.5 miles while I ran. |
