Good, solid, uneventful 9.45 on the TM tonight. I was surprisingly unaffected today after pounding out 22 yesterday; very little pain, not much limping. My back was a little stiff, but that has nothing to do with 22 miles.
Anyway, the run tonight was just a recovery run, ramping up to 8:30ish pace for the last two laps. No major twinges. The Asics are doing all right now that I have thicker insoles to keep my lateral malleolus from being jammed into the edge of the right shoe. But the new adidas, which I wore yesterday, will definitely be my race shoe, especially with use of the toe condoms to protect the old hammers from blistering.
So another 9 tomorrow with 5X600 of VO2 max intervals thrown in. I probably could have done the intervals tonight, but I said "Nah, let's give the legs a bit of a break." |
