Out and back from home to the corner of Lockwood and Rock Hill. 12:00pm, 25 degrees, streets slush covered and sidewalks unrunable. 8:00s on the way out, 7:30s on the way back for a total run time of 46:30 over 6 miles. Sasha suggests running 6 days a week. I'm skeptical. I have a tendency to work so hard on the days I do run that I feel my body needs the extra days off to recover. I'm not sure exactly what this means. Am I going to hard on the hard days, or am I capable of recovering during a 6-8 miler slower than LSD pace.. I normally would have taken today off. Perhaps I can stick to the 4 days a week of quality work plan and bump these other 2 days a week down to 8:15s+. |
