6 recovery miles AP 8:03 Legs felt great

I have started to notice that by doing my real hard runs at night and then doing my recovery run the next morning early, by legs feel a ton better. I don't know if there is any science behind it, but it is working for me.

Keep up the good training and you will hit your goal in Boston.

Hey Rhett, I've noticed the same thing after doing my midnight long runs. I just thought it was a fluke, but when I wake up the next morning, my legs feel great.

Delayed onset muscle fatigue is always worse for me abot 48 hours later. Way to keep at it, stud.

I am glad your new schedule is working for you. It is amazing how no matter how long you run you can always learn more. The other day the kids in car pool were teasing me because I was reading the complete book of running... they kept saying they knew how to run at two years old and I was just now learning! What do they know they are just teenagers :)

Kathie, that's funny. Just the other day I was giving a friend of mine a hard time about taking a running class at the gym. I asked her if the told her "right, left, right, left..." She didn't think that was funny.
