8 miles recovery in Provo canyon with the JJJ's Josse, Janice, & Janae. No watch. Surprisingly perfect weather this morning despite the crazy winds all night. Planks/pushups
I really liked this article in Running Times about training to PR in the marathon. No matter what level your training at I thought this was a good overall review. So many take aways from the article but I think the main one is that every element of marathon training serves a purpose and you really can't neglect any of them if you want to improve your time. Also liked this:
I've noticed that for me personally I perform much better, feel less burnt out/fatigued, and seem to absorb workouts better when I slow down (way down!) on my recovery days. I was racing my best (May-July) when I was doing my recovery jogs with my sister at a 8:45-9:30 pace. I need my sister to move back!
