4.1 very easy shake out miles. I was only planning 2 but I felt okay and like the jogging was really helping work some of the lactic acid out of my legs so I extended it to 4. 9:01 pace. I am sore but not as sore as after Boston which I find odd. I really think training up Payson Canyon had my legs well prepared for the downhill.
UVM official results are up. I ran the first half in 1:37:25 and the second half in 1:35:11. Over a 2 minute negative split for me yesterday. Very, very happy about that! I stuck to my plan of running the first 16 miles easy and it really worked out for me.
I am going to be a "hobby jogger" for the next two weeks as I recover. Ragnar this weekend will just be for fun and I do not plan to break an 8 minute pace. I need to recover smart if I want to have a good Summer of setting some new short distance PR's. My next race will be July 14th. |
