Did some XT warmup (S/B/E) then outside for easy 5 miles. I felt surprisingly good today. I usually feel like a slug on Fridays plus I had a fairly unhealthy, greasy breakfast this morning so I expected to fill like crud. Always nice to be pleasantly surprised.
Maybe it was the new shoes I tried out for the first time today. I was worried because they are heavier and stiffer than what I usually use (and very expensive!) so I thought they might feel like boots but they felt quite good actually. So maybe the young punk runner who analyzed my gait and told me I needed these shoes actually knew what he was talking about.

Hudson WoW: "The running volume that is most appropriate for you depends on your next peak-race goal, your capacity to absorb and recover from frequent runs and longer runs, and your training history. As a general rule, I recommend runners consistently maintain a moderatly high volume relative to these individual considerations." |
