- 83 minute elliptical
- strength training, achilles lifts/stretches, 7 x 30 sec jumprope
It's weird because respiratory-wise, miles 2-6 and 9 felt like threshold, 7 felt borderline VO2 max. It feels good to get my lungs burning! However, musculoskeletal-wise, the miles felt like maybe marathon pace or even a little slower sometimes...because I'm not carrying my weight as much of course. Great for recovery time because there is none! So I try and make up for it with weight lifting afterwards. Can't wait to just get out there and run! Mile 7 was hard, but I want to try and push myself more often on non-recovery days when I have it in me!
