Today was one of the worst days running I have had in a while. I had such a great run yesterday that I was just amazed at how bad I was today, I think my legs didn't have enough time to recover because I ran in the afternoon yesterday and then this mourning. That is only 12 hours to recovery as apposed to 24 hours. Harry Davis Hill killed me today, I had mile splits of 8:45,9:17, 10:45 which is all straight uphill for about 1.35 miles with an 8 to 10 % grade. Mile 4 was 9:16, followed by a downhill of 8:33 , mile 6 was 8:49 and then I was pretty much done leg wise, my final mile in 9:15. Total Time was 1:04:45, even though my splits where horrible it was a good workout with all the hill work I can't go wrong with that.
I hope I will recover enough to have a better run tomorrow time wise, although I won't be pushing it to hard tomorrow. I usually do 25 minutes of lower body weight training but I figure my legs had a good enough workout this mourning. |
