Today was my 2nd day of my RLRF Program. I believe I had a little more success on this run than on Monday’s run although it was tough. The program called for 2 mile easy warm-up, 2 miles 6:45 tempo and 2 miles easy cool-down. You can see my results below in the chart. My times varied somewhat but most of this is due to the hilly terrain I run around my house. Luckily miles 3 and 4 are on the flatter part of this route with 3 being slightly downhill (about 50’ drop) and mile 4 is slightly uphill (about 50’ rise) so if you even out the two times I believe the paces make sense. I did fade about a quarter mile from the finish of the second mile. I’ll be excited to try this same run in a couple of months to see (hopefully) improvement. I can tell you, after this run, I have doubts that I can break the 20:00 mark on a 5-K.
I am still having a little soreness in the glute-ham tie-in on my left leg (like that word…I looked it up). It’s the same place I’ve always had some issues but not related to the major hip problem I had before.
