Recovery run.

5:13 am, 32°F, 27% humidity, wind 6 SSE.

I really kept it slow and easy today. My recovery run pace range is 10:00 to 10:30, so I hit my pace. Even though it wasn't a hard workout, I did my dynamic stretching before I ran. I also tried to focus on the "pounding the ground" proprioceptive cue while running. After the run, I did some static stretching and then drove to seminary. Then I did just a few minutes of core conditioning exercises. This core conditioning program starts out easy, but I think it gets harder. I'll give it a few weeks and see how I like it and if it stays too easy, I'll look into something else.

AP: 10:22. Splits: 10:26, 10:24, 10:20, 10:19, 10:16.

Nice recovery!

Those are good recovery miles. You've already got a lot for the week. Way to go.

We had exactly the same run this morning! Same pace, distance, everything. Good recovery.

Nice morning program. I learned about those static and dynamic stretches while doing the shred video. I've tried incorporating them before & after my run too, but I'm not really diligent about it.

From Michelle on Wed, Feb 03, 2010 at 16:12:53 from 174.29.77.117

Great run. I bet it was nice to have so much extra time this morning! You already have as much mileage in three days as I get in a week, way to go!

Early! How's the "pounding the ground" cue feeling?

From TBarlow on Wed, Feb 03, 2010 at 21:54:22 from 216.194.124.36

Nice recovery run!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Wed, Feb 03, 2010 at 23:45:02 from 24.8.167.243

JD, I think the "pounding the ground" cue is helping me get my feet up off the ground faster or with more power, though you wouldn't know it from today's slow speed.

Recovery is so important and so many overlook it, but I love how you force yourself to do it! We all know you're speedy, and constantly working - Keep up the hard work and glad to hear the cues are working. I may need you to forward me the info about it -- when I ever start running again!
