Nice early morning run. Managed to get into a good rythm after I got the kinks out (0.5 miles). Maintained about a 8:00 pace for 0.5 miles and then would increase the pace for 0.5 miles. Fastest pace was a 7:08 for a 0.5 mile. I'm feeling pretty close to fully recovered from the race on Monday.
Lifted weights afterward. Kept the reps around 10 to 12. Before I started doing triathlons and running on a regular basis I would only lift weights, which created more bulk than I care for. So now I'm careful not to add any unnecessary muscle mass, since it'll only slow me down. Just enough weight to tone the muscles. |
