Planned to do 16 inside today. Because the glutes were still hurting, and because of the importance of hydrating even on an indoor run, decided to break it into two-mile segments, at least initially -- run, drink, stretch. From a hydration standpoint, it worked well. From the standpoint of the glutes loosening, no. They got worse, not better. After six segments, I bagged it. Felt like going further invited more/long lasting problems. Even so, I ran the last two miles at 8:30ish pace. Overall average 9:03. We'll see how the glute feels tomorrow. It's the same place that has been bugging me off and on for a couple of years, just refused to loosen today. |
