Longish trail run. I didn't bring food or water on this run so it was challenging towards the end. Went to Montgomery bell state park and the trail was pretty nice and scenic crossing several wide but extremely shallow (like, 1cm deep) streams. Ran with Ted and we are still at the point of pushing too hard to try to keep up with the other person. The thing is that I am much much slower racing so I never think he is pushing until the run is over and he is like, damn that was hard. And I am always breathing harder than he is. This was especially apparent at the end of the run during some hills. I was hardly able to maintain a 2 stride in 2 stride out pattern. Tomorrow is gonna be super easy because I have been going too hard lately. My legs are fine, but I know that my cardio system needs a break. |
