Cool morning, but again, signs of spring out there. Did a 12 mile loop easy through Teller Farm from the house. I bounced into a couple of folks out at the Farm and ran with them for about 20 minutes before heading back home. Isabelle Road is having work done on it so it was totally closed to traffic - it was nice to be able to run down the middle of the road.
It was a good week. I had two runs at 2 hours with both of them including some fair amount of climbing. My mileage was 81 on the week, but the time on that was about 690 minutes (versus about the same amount of mileage last week, with less hills and about an hour less). I had a turn over workout as well.
This next week I am going to try dropping the mileage (50 miles comes to mind) and up the intensity slightly. My take on this that I will do easy days really easy or not run at all. I will probably look to do more core work, athletic work on those days but really lower the running volume. I want to see if I can get a bit more spring in the legs for the hard days. I am also going to food log next week as well.
Live it. |
