Went out to test the heel/foot tonight. It passed the test nicely; no twinges. Hammies weren't quite so kind, but they eventually loosened up as well. ITB took a little longer. But eventually the main limiting factor on tonight's run was the failure to wear a headband. I found myself largely blinded very quickly, in spite of a nice breeze. Fortunately no rocks/sticks littering the trail to trip me up. Tried to run at about Daniels E pace. It was easy enough on the legs, but the HR was a little above recommended Averaged 138, peaked into the 140s. Garmin called that zone 3. That's probably about right. I could blame it on the temp, which is still in the high 60s even at 9:30. Anyway, think I may take another easy run tomorrow and postpone intervals until Wednesday, blaming aftereffects of Saturday's race. Or maybe not. I may not decide until about two miles into tomorrow's run. |
