Today's run: 45 minutes with the running stroller. Not sure how far I ran, but probably 6+ miles.
Over the past week and a half I have run between 43-45 minutes most days, except this past Tuesday when I only ran 20 minutes because I was feeling a little under the weather.
I ran 43 minutes every day last week after I posted last. I skipped my planned speedwork on Thursday because I was still a little sore from Tuesday's workout. I ran a tempo run in Park City last Saturday, running from the Canyon's resort towards the center of town and turning around at 21:30. It was at this point that I started the tempo run, finishing the tempo when I arrived back at the resort at 40:15, before running easy for a few minutes until I hit 43 minutes. I was pretty happy with the workout as I felt strong even when running up some steep hills at the end.
This week I ran 45 minutes on Monday, but I felt pretty rotten during the second half of the run and during the rest of the day thereafter. So, on Tuesday I only ran 20 minutes to let myself recover. On Wednesday I started my run with the plan to turn around early if my legs still felt weak, but my legs felt snappy so I ran the full 45 minutes. I ran the full time for the rest of the week thereafter, and while I felt a little off for a good portion of the week, my legs tended to feel good while running.
During today's run there was a fair amount of wind which made running with the stroller difficult, while the hills were pretty tough for me to run up as well. Despite this I still made it through the run at a decent overall pace as I ran the same route I ran on Monday morning and actually finished a little faster despite the stroller (but I didn't feel sick today, so maybe that helped more than the stroller hurt?).
