Was going to do 1 warm, 6 @ 6:40, 1 cool. Felt zippy and made a tempo out of it. Miles were: 7:16, 6:40, 6:18, 6:00, 5:39, 6:18, 6:40, 7:34. 52:26 total
Incline of .5 due to arch pain. I felt it a bit but it seems to be improving by the day. Today it was painless but present.
During my marathon build-up, I averaged 32.25 miles per week and exceeded 40 only once. During the past ten weeks, I've averaged 36.8 and I've been over 40 three of the past four weeks with an average of just over 41 for the past six.
The point of all of this is - I can really tell. I feel like I was just losing weight last time around whereas now I am strengthining my neuro-muscular system. The runs aren't as taxing on my body and I feel pretty fresh generally this time around. I am limiting myself due to time constraints and fear of injury, but I want to fly. |
