Recovery run today, my legs seemed alright but I really tried to take it slow and easy. I did kind of speed up in the middle for 1 mile but it wasn't real fast about an 8:20 pace. I had some hills in this run not real long but some good up and downs, tomorrow I will try and tackle Harry Davis Hill which I haven't done for about two weeks.
My splits went as follows; 8:43, 8:49, 8:56, 8:21, 8:41, 8:53, 8:56 total time was, 1:01:25 with an average pace of 8:46. Those last two miles I really tried to slow it down and take it easy. I also did some strength training on my lower body and my core area, about 30 minutes. For the most part my legs felt like they recovered alright from yesterdays run, they were getting alittle tired towards the end but I think that is to be expected. My goal is to keep my mileage about the same for the next couple of weeks and then maybe bump it up a mile a day to eight and see how I do, I would like to see if I can get my mileage to fifty miles a week by the end of spring, but we will see.
See ya tomorrow, I am so looking forward to taking on Harry Davis Hill. |
