long bike ride this morning. I wanted to go for a slow run this afternoon, but still felt some residual tiredness from either the morning bike ride or long run this weekend, so I took a very slow (about 8:30 pace) recovery run. It was 45 min long and about 5.5 mile. One of my friends let me borrow her Garmin, which said that the 1 mile loop trail that I like to run is only 0.87 miles long! No wonder I always felt fast running with that loop hahaha. This week and next week I think are going to be recovery weeks for me. I feel tired and that I have been overtraining. I have only recently started running (2 months ago) so my body is still not used to the pounding. I need to build myself up slowly which is something I find very difficult to do. |
